We should start a donation campaign to get this guy to the tournament. Maybe too late for SLC, but if we go further, it would be a huge boost to him and to the team.

No need. NU is flying him to SLC. Nice....

"Northwestern athletic director Jim Phillips called the 35-year season ticket holder and offered him a ticket. Orlandino will fly on a chartered jet with other members of the athletic staff, according to Maureen Palchak, assistant athletic director for community relations."

"Still in disbelief over the attention and recent turn of events, Orlandino said Wednesday that he needed someone to pinch him.

"(I feel) like someone the night before Christmas, that's the way my stomach feels," he said. "My stomach is doing cartwheels. It's just spinning and spinning."
