[NU Sports] (no subject)

[Jonathan Hodges]

I'm guessing he was talking about reading a book outside of class (for
recreation), which I know I didn't do much of during school (and I would
imagine that the football team didn't have much down time outside of class
and workouts/practice/travel/games to read).  Anyways I would imagine that
he earned his degree and did the required reading for class (or at least
enough of it to pass).
