I’m told I’m a “big hug guy.” Turns out, I’m not the BIGGEST hug guy...wait for it! Love every one of these guys, and special place in my heart for #21. #MakingMemories#ILLINIFamily
The beauty of sport is that it invokes such intense emotion...to lift us up or cast us down...or both. Not the way we wanted to finish. But in the midst of COVID, this team lifted us up & gave us a reason to cheer. I’ll always be grateful to these #EveryDayGuys. I love this team.
THANK YOU to one of the most impressive people I have ever met. Your work and leadership will not be forgotten. You have taught us much, and we will endeavor to carry those lessons forward for the benefit of others. Our FIGHT in the #lLLINI continues. 🔷🔶
Unbelievable energy. So proud of what’s happening here. Best postgame quote: “We didn’t come this far to come this far.” Exactly right, boys. Keep pushing! #EverydayGuys#ILLINI
4 games in 8 days, 3 on the road?2 one-day preps? NPOY on the sidelines? Top 25 opponent? Bring it. I’m riding with these guys. Fighters. Winners. ILLINI. 🔶🔷😤
There are no words to adequately express the sadness in my heart. 💔 In the face of unspeakable adversity and hardship, Bobby brought life and optimism to every room he entered. He was a warrior, a leader, and an inspiration to all. I will never forget him. Love you, 97. 🧡💙
