    A month ago, this coach threw more swear words at this player during a timeout than was heard in the post game Michigan locker room tonight. And then he followed up with him immediately afterwards. Always teaching. Never stop learning. #Illini #goals #EveryDayGuys

    So a broken nose & possibly other damage that #Illini aren't talking about. On a play where: 1) @AyoDos_11 didn't have the ball 2) There was no foul call until the refs looked at the tape after he was on the ground. This is a nat'l POY candidate. @bigten - clean this up! 😡
    I know this happened Tuesday night but @bigten hopefully you respond. Looking at this photo you can clearly see his nose and what happened. Yet the warrior he is, the kid continued to play. Don't sweep this under the rug.

    Imagine being an NFL wide receiver — a world-class athlete — and in an instant, your career is over & your life is forever changed. This video is worth 4:00 of your time. #inspiring
    Former @NFL and @ugafootball wide receiver @IronMassaquoi made his career catching a ball. Last April, his left hand was amputated. This is the first time he's told his story: playerstribu.ne/massaquoi
