Joshua Ross A.K.A. The founding Mad Miner

Joshua Ross, since establishing the Crazies and serving as Mad Miner for two years, is currently attending Blackburn College of Carlinville and pursuing a degree in Political Science. While a Crazy he was the brainchild behind the first dress-up days as well as most of the cheers we still perform. Josh even received an award at graduation with his picture on it thanking him for his school spirit and dedication. It is my personal opinion that Josh will become the first president of the United States from Gillespie.

Jeremy Seago A.K.A. Big Seago

photo coming soon

Big Seago was an avid member of the Coalmine Crazies during our founding year and the following year in which he graduated. He is the inventor of many of the random outbursts we shout at the refs/players and inspired many of the current "Psyche-outs." He is currently studying at Illinois College to obtain a degree in Computer Science. His legacy lives on Gillespie in the form of a little brother who is a current Crazy.

Andrew Easton A.K.A. Drew

warning:this page may take a while to load

Andrew was a late-comer to the Coalmine Crazies due to the fact that he played half of his senior year ,but he was definitely a valuable member during the second half. He drew countless signs including his famous "injured finger" sign and lended his artistic talent(something the Crazies definitely aren't known for) in the making of "the boat." Andrew is currently studying at Kansas University for his degree in Education.

Scott Joyce A.K.A. Joycer/Scotter

Scott, although being cheered for by the Crazies during basketball, was an avid member of the Crazies during baseball/softball. He remembered an amazing number of softball cheers throughout the season which we still use in "the boat" currently. Scott is now studying at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign for a degree in Communication/Pre-Law.

Brian Hubert A.K.A. Mad Miner II /Hubie

picture coming soon

Hubie had the amazingly hard job of following in Rossie's footsteps and becoming the Crazies' second Mad Miner. He definitely did his job well. Hubert introduced many cheers, including the ever-popular B-cheer (with a little help from Colombia, thanks guys). Brian is currently studying at Illinois College to major in religion. I've always known he was going to be a man of the cloth after I saw "Hubert's Bible"(inside joke, but if you're lucky and ask I'll tell ya about it).
