[NU Sports] Off season capers...

[Arthur Miller]

WildElk, you're thinking of Bob *Christian*, and Bobby was at NU around 
87-91...same era as me, plus he was also an engineering student.  I was in 2 
or 3 classes with Bob, he was a very nice guy--I hope the NFL didn't change 
him.  I happened to meet his parents once at Breckenridge resort in Colorado 
when some buddies and I were there on a Spring Break trip...they noticed our 
NU sweatshirts and introduced themselves.

Also, don't forget about Byron Sanders, Barry's brother who carried the 
majority of the RB load around 87-88, if I recall correctly.

Cheers-
Art
