Congratulations to Jersey's Brent Hawkins for being selected in the 5th round by the Jacksonville Jags. Also Brent got his first sack in an exhibition game against the Miami Dolphins on Saturday.
I guess it goes without saying that everyone connected to the football program in Jerseyville is very proud.

Pantherfan, do you know the fellow or know anyone who does? I want to congradulate the kid... afterall he did swallow my goldfish in college, it's like we have a bond. Matter of fact I have a funny pic of Brent in my cell phone from 3 years ago!!
Alright. In the 6 years I've been running the site, I have to give Bones the award for the last damn thing I thought I'd ever read on one of the message boards I run.
Congratulations Bones, you're trophy is in the mail.

Somebody has to cover the entire state.
well, thanks!! But it was college, and college is like Cancun or Vegas and what happens (ahh you know the saying)... At ISU swallowing a goldfish is minor... the best stories wont make the message boards!!
I usually wait till after the high schools season to make a player page for all the Illinois NFL rookies, but since we were on teh topic and I had some time. Here's Brent's page.
It can be accessed thru the Jersey page or the Past Players - Pro page.
