So long, ball-on-a-stick

Goodbye, ball-on-a-stick. I'll never forget how we met in Rantoul in 2009. You really did have a knack for helping our defensive linemen watch the ball instead of listen for the snap count. Who can forget... your special case for the trip to the bowl games... that time Glenn Foster fell on you and bent the pole a little bit... "does the ball have to be on a stick for you to not jump offsides, Kynard"... that time we added the telescoping pole. You will be missed, ball-on-a-stick. Please stay in touch. Maybe, if your schedule allows, we can go see Liuget's Chargers play Mercilus' Texans next year.
