I don't know about the jersey at the Pub II (it's kind of an occupational hazzard for me to frequent local bars!), but I think they should just go ahead and retire his number at ISU now - he's the most decorated ISU athlete ever, regardless of what he does/doesn't do in the NFL. JMO.

That's pretty cool that you got to work up close with the football team---was Todd Berry the coach after Heacock?
I graduated after the summer semester in '92, so I might've just missed you. Found out from the alumni magazines that the over-the-edge gay guy from Will and Grace was up at ISU during that same time. Nice.
Only time I got to see Boomer play in college was when they played in Champaign against the Illini, and he kicked some serious butt that day.
Please let Boomer's sister know that we are all rooting for him here and enjoying his quotes and diary musings. I'm looking forward to seeing him play on Saturday night up close, and hopefully he'll do well.
