Metro & Tri-state Community pays respects to Adrian
Adrian Jones had just turned 16 and decided to get rid of "Bart," his nickname, because he didn't want girls confusing him with the cartoon character of the same name.

Wildcats looking to pin Illini Maybe Pete Weber or Carmen Salvino can roll the coin before the Illinois-Northwestern game today. That's because it will be all about going bowling -- postseason bowl games -- when the fatted Cats (8-3, 4-3 Big Ten) host the upstreaming Illini (5-6, 3-4) at winter-ready Ryan Field (2:30, BTN, 720-AM, 560-AM).
If Williams is in, then who's out? Brad Biggs: The trick with getting first-round draft pick Chris Williams on the field, besides finding the right opportunity, is picking someone to send to the bench. When Williams got his first action of the year on offense last Sunday at Green Bay -- five plays on the final drive -- the odd man out was left guard Josh Beekman.
