[NU Sports] Spring FB game

[Roy Lamberton]

Autry has been around the team lately, and is an NGN member.

He is a great guy - when I talked to him about remembering his exploits on the
field, he lit up like a Christmas tree - like he really didn't expect anyone to
remember his days at NU. He was really glad he was back at NU, and whatever he
does down the road, he'll be an outspoken advocate for sticking it out for your
degree.

I hope NU can find something for him to do while he gets his PhD
