Tomorrow I’m going to tell you guys about the craziest golf experience in the USA. 2 days of absolute madness. Maybe the most pure FUN I’ve had on a buddies trip. When you mix Ohoopee, The Old Course, and Discoveryland luxury…you got a stew going… IYKYK (I didn’t)

Grateful to learn from @IlliniAD every day! Illini Nation is special & the growth & progress I’ve witnessed since arriving in 2018 has been incredible - due to this guy’s unwavering passion for winning & winning the right way. Still trending and more wins to go! #WEWILWIN 🧡💙

We haven’t sold out ⁦@StateFarmCenter⁩ for ⁦@IlliniWBB⁩ in more than 20 years. WITH YOUR HELP, THAT CHANGES SUNDAY! Let’s make a memory…bring a carload and join 15,500 of your closest friends to experience the excitement around this program! See you there! #OneWay

Incredibly thrilled for our guy. One of the best sports business minds I’ve been around in my 20+ years in higher ed & athletics. OU got a great one! Made a significant impact for our 🔶🔷! 💪🏻

@DaRev43 @drs91186 The last break game and Krush will be back for Maryland when semester starts!

@drs91186 @IlliniBRuss Bruss…. @drs91186 will donate big time $$$

@IlliniBRuss why isn’t Orange Krush at this game. We can’t have the crowd this dead and it’s mainly because the Krush section is silent donors. How much do I need to donate to at least get these tickets in the hands of local high school students that will bring energy. @DaRev43

Thrilled to get the family back to ⁦@IlliniAthletics⁩ and attempting to make a positive impact in 🔶🔷! #ILL #famILLy fightingillini.com/news/2025/8/15…
