BearSox Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 About me though, not the Bears. Some here wanted me to keep them updated, and as a collective group of bear fans who supported me throughout this process, I wanted to share the good news with everyone. As a lot of you probably already know, I was an aspiring D-I football player but wasnt recruited out of high school. I then went onto a Junior College and had a successful freshman season. Well, my hard work paid off and on wednesday I signed with Northern Illinois to play football. I just wanted to share the good news with you guys cause you've supported me throughout this whole process and did nothing but wish me the best of luck. Unfortunately, while my activity on this board has decreased in past months, it isn't gonna get any better. Being a D-I athlete now and a full time student is gonna require most of time and I wont be able to follow the Bears or the NFL as closely as I would like, but Im definitely gonna try and pop in on game days next year and throw in my 2 cents. Thank you all for your support and Go Bears and Go Huskies!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownman Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Congratulations BearSox fan, that is totally awesome. I agree with M.L. on this and your job now is your studies and doing what ever you are able to do in order to help the Huskies keep their winning ways. Good luck in the rest of your college career and hopefully we'll see you one day putting on the "Holy Grail" of NFL uniforms!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
