Redman 04 Is MY DADDY  ok you are on your own now.  You have lived up to your part of the bargain.  You may start fresh with 0 Karma.  Good luck to you .

P.S.  Hey tell us what you think of Kevin Burris
Ha Ha

That was my goal this off-season as I've never experienced the positive side of K.   In hindsight, it's probably best not to open up into the board with such an argument, no matter what the statistical evidence says.   Although, please keep in mind, I did show Dante Washington love.  Anyway, a little humbling can go far and now, I am better friends with the Redmen for it.

Okay, so only 265 Days or 37 weeks and 6 Days until I can change my screen name (Wheaton vs. Carthage – November 15th).  Or, will there be another bet before then?

While "googling" on another unrelated topic, I stumbled on another Florida recruit committed to Millikin.  Anthany "Spud" Wingo.

does anyone know if there are any chicago area kids going down to Millikin?

Your present screen name is sooo much better than Billy Pilgrim!!     Billy Pilgrim has negative K, RM04 is my Daddy,  has a ton of positive karma.  Food for thought!!

Spud Wingo ... now that's a cool name for a football player.

I guess you haven't of the QB at DePauw for the last 2 years-- His name is Spud Dick.

Actually, I think this is our new friend BIG Orange-Florida Connection's son.

My son played for a Private school in Maitland, FL just 5 minutes North of Orlando. 

You can find a highlight video of Spud Wingo here.  Nice touch with the photo of him holding the Millikin helmet.

Yes it is - www.youtube.com/rhwingo Is his highlight videos and http://profiles.berecruited.com/athletes/43943 are his stats and profile.

Spud Wingo is a way better name than Spud Dick!!

Almost anything would be a way better name than Spud Dick.

In fact, I'd rather go through life named REDMAN04 IS MY DADDY! (caps and exclamation point included) than Spud Dick.

Very true.   Maybe I'll switch to something Cardinal related this fall...

Slightly off topic, but how about the names of these 2 teammates from West Virginia?  Apparently during the game, the announcers jokingly said they shouldn't sit next to each other - but they did.

It wasn't too long ago that kids left naperville and wheaton to come to millikin.  And decatur is not a bad place,,I guess if you want to spend your whole life sheltered then live at home with your parents and stay in naperville.

Wow... CardinalAlum hit a nerve there.  Or should I say severed a nerve?

First of all, I'm sure CardinalAlum does live with his parents. 

But I find it hard to believe most people would prefer Decatur over the western suburbs of Chicago.  Yes I know it is a matter of taste, but the difference in population between Decatur vs. western suburbs might shine a bit of light on this.

Decatur (and surrounding area) - about 125,000
Western suburbs - somewhere around a million or so

I guess if you want to live on the edge, in a carnival atmosphere, where the fun never ends, Decatur is the place.

College life and normal life is quite different. Lets compare the opportunities to party,

Decatur-45 minutes from Illinois State,,,,1 hour from University of Illinois,,,,1.5 hours from St. Louis,,,,,Three bars right next to campus, including the best non-white trash bar in Decatur. 

Western Suburbs- Chicago,, gotta love the city, but I doubt that students at wheaton and north central are going into the city to go bar hopping, most college kids dont have 150$ to blow on drinks on a saturday night,,,university of chicago, not going to party in the library,,,northwestern,same thing

Rock Island- It is decatur except on the mississippi,,,,close to iowa city

So the difference between night life at these school is negligible (I will concede to the carnival atmosphere of the city of decatur).  Then it comes down to how close you want to live to your parents while in college, football facilities, and the recruiting ability of the coaches.
