Right on Spoon!!!..Hillenmeyer did alot of unappreciated work. The punch out of the ball from Adrian Peterson on the last Monday night game a couple of years ago that led to a Bears victory on a Cutler to Aromashadu overtime pass play is still on my Tevo…Played alot of good ball..Thanks Hunter, and good luck……..
SPAULDING!

Best wishes guys. Thank you.
