Found this program today from my dad Joe Wischnowsky’s 2005 induction into the Kankakee High School Hall of Fame. So fun to read the description of many of his amazing athletic achievements. #Legend

- People can criticize Bret Bielema for today's slow substitutions and taunt. And I'm sure that many will. But when you're a 10.5-point dog, you look for every edge you can get. And Bielema took Beamer completely out of his game from the get-go. Absolutely brilliant
- Theo Epstein’s baseball career in a nutshell: Because of him, millions of Cubs fans and Red Sox fans can die happy. That’s an amazing accomplishment.
- Here’s the video that my brother shot from the Wrigley bleachers 2 years ago tonight as we watched the @Cubs turn the double play that sent them to the World Series for the first time in 71 years. Basically, my favorite video ever.
00:00 - Brad Underwood has now gotten as far in the tourney at Illinois as Bill Self ever did. It's time for all Illini fans to fully appreciate how great of a coach we have in Champaign. No coach is perfect. But few are elite. And Underwood is that – in more ways than one today.
- Just saw a Cubs fan in London wearing a T-shirt that read: “I’d rather cross an ocean than go to St. Louis.” 😆🐻⚾️🇬🇧 #LondonSeries
- Prediction: The winner of Illinois-UConn wins the whole thing.
- Will Smith just earned the lead role in the Juwan Howard biopic.
- The Illini are 4-0 against the four teams ranked directly ahead of them.
- It's Oct. 27. Illinois Football is 6-2, ranked No. 24, and the only losses are at No. 1 Oregon & No. 3 Penn State. That's awesome. Embrace it and enjoy it, folks.
