It has been a miserable, rainy, gloomy day in Normal, IL. It's all heading south. The streets here have puddles, therefore hydroplaning is a real threat. I lost a great friend a few years ago on an Alabama highway, very similar to 231, when his car hydroplaned into an oncoming tanker truck. Also, if you take 231, be sure to slow down to the speed limit in the smaller towns, especially Ozark, AL. The local constables love pulling over outsiders. Be safe y'all. Don't want to lose any of our great Bulls fans. I hope to see many of you at the Bullbackers pre-game hook up on Sat. morning. Normal
