Kylan Boswell having all the Illini players over for pizza and wings the day after losing in the B1G Tournament is the greatest team leadership moment since Jason Heyward’s speech during the Game 7 rain delay in 2016.

I heard there were some aspects of the NFL physical that Philip Rivers didn’t have to complete when he signed with the Indianapolis Colts. He was grandfathered in.

Friends, there’s a condensed game version of the 2010 Texas Bowl between Illinois and RGIII’s Baylor and it’s a wonderful way to spend your Sunday morning.

“There are Minnesota people who don’t eat at Culver’s because it’s a Wisconsin brand,” according to the announcer of this Gopher-Badger game. These people do not exist, you are making up a guy to tell us about.

eli drinkwitz has never been more ready to be james franklin's successor than right now, kicking short field goals in a game where he clearly needs touchdowns to have a chance at an upset

Brad Underwood told me on Sunday that he wishes every shot his team takes would be from three. He is all in on analytics, which means you're never out of a game. Illini showing signs of life but they've been running uphill all night.

Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” has been played at countless retirement celebrations and funerals to pay tribute to people. But Limp Bizkit’s “My Way” was used in the build up to Rock vs. Austin at Wrestlemania X-7. Advantage Durst.

I never would’ve guessed Bruce Weber would become a basketball color commentator. He always seemed like a coach for life. Any time there’s an opening in the Missouri Valley, I expect him to take it.

The Bulls announce that Bob Love has died, at 81, after a battle with cancer. Nine-year Bull, 11-year NBAer, three-time All-Star. His #10 is retired by the team. And he was extremely well known off the court for his public speaking, especially to kids - notable because he was a lifelong stutterer.
