Feel like I should post something

Just a couple quick hits to keep the blood pumping during the off-season.

Tyrell at the combine
Tyrell Sutton has kept his name in the header of my blog for the foreseeable future by getting invited to the NFL draft combine.  Well, I probably would have kept him there anyway, but this ought to be a great chance for him to show how much he can contribute to any pro team.  The Shrine Game was good for him (with a TD and solid kick returns) and the combine invite shows that scouts want to see him up close and personal.  If the NFL Network airs the combine again this year, you can see just how disturbingly personal that is!

Basketball exists
I don't usually write about NU hoops here, but it's not for a lack of being wild about the Cats (see what I did?).  It's because we are usually either boring or depressing.  This year, with a still-over-.500 record and 3-5 conference start, we are rarely either.  Even the losses feel OK, some of the time.  Tomorrow's game at home against the Badgers is a great opportunity for two reasons.  1st: A win will keep us from being swept home/away by anyone (so far).  That will show a lot to the lookers-on.  2nd: It's your chance to witness the miracle of me playing trumpet!  Will we play the Josh Eats Birds Feature Song?  There's only one way to find out!

Let's go Cats!
