National exposure for Chief Caddo

http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/gallery/featured/GAL1149018/13/32/index.htm

The biggest trophy in sports, anywhere, keeps bringing attention to Northwestern.

Chief Caddo was on ESPN's SportsCenter last Thursday before he risked life, limb and his home standing ground at Saturday night's NSU-Stephen F. Austin football game.

Check Gary's Gallery Tuesday for some neat shots of the postgame celebration with the Chief. I swear you can see a slight grin on his usually stoic face.

The trophy was among 32 featured on the CNN/Sports Illustrated photo vault last week. The link takes you to a picture shot by Sports Illustrated here in 2000 as part of their millenium series -- this one was celebrating the biggest and best things in sport.

Great to see some of those former Demons, including All-Pro Terrence McGee and current assistant coach Roy Locks, in that shot!

The first person (Greg Burke, you're not eligible, and neither are Ed Evans, Dustin Eubanks, Sam Goodwin, or Thomas Foster) to name all the Demon players in the photo, e-mailing the list to me at ireland@nsula.edu, will win a Demon T-shirt. We'll also put all the other correct entries in a drawing on Dec. 1 and some other observant person will get a T-shirt.

Have fun!

Doug Ireland, SID
