Illinois’s campus is 120 miles from the Final Four in Indianapolis.
This was the scene as the Illini took the court for open practice.

Saw the @IlliniMBB team and staff return as victors of the South with around a 1000 fans of the Orange & Blue! Celebrate for a few more hours and then it’s time to lock in on the next opponent. Felt great to be the first one in…takes all the pressure off so we can enjoy hoops!

Watching that team win the IHSA 2A State Title was one of the sports highlights of my life! Such great memories when you watch your child's team win a championship! Hope all Spartan fans can make it Feb. 13!

While watching Lee Corso get his due respects today on @espn I recall my first GameDay experience when the crew came to K-State in 1998 prior to the Nebraska game and I was asked to coordinate delivery of Willie’s head to the stage. Wildcats won 40-30!

We lost a major part of popular culture with the death of Hulk Hogan. One of my favorite items from one of his visits to Champaign back in the 1990s. He said “Couldn’t you find a better photo?” Before signing.
