@ColeHuart @ALionEye Same. Illini sky.

@ALionEye I like to call that an Illini Sky, often enjoyed in Memorial Stadium on a warm fall evening, as the team is taking care of business down below. As a band dad, we've managed to get a pretty good view from the upper deck on the east side on many occasions. Ocean view is nice too!

Remember folks, the best things in life are orange and blue.

@ALionEye Did you happen to stop by the Oregon State campus? I was only there once, but I was struck by how similar it felt to the University of Illinois.

Who wants 3,000 (unlocked) words written Tuesday afternoon for a college golf tournament that ended on Sunday? Any takers? No one? Well, here it is anyway: illiniboard.com/second-wind/

@ALionEye 👀 what's a good pod to listen to on the drive tomorrow?

Folks,, things are HAPPENING with the ‘I’.

@TheFieldPass @ALionEye And I was one of the Michigan addresses. I-L-L!

If you want a sense of how orange and blue Indy is going to be this weekend… According to SeatGeek, here is the breakdown of Final Four ticket purchases by state: 48% – Illinois 7% – Michigan 5% – Arizona 1% – Connecticut 🔶🔷🔶🔷🔶🔷🔶🔷 Source: seatgeek.com/blog/march-mad…

🚨 NEWS: Reseller makes $9,000 profit from a basketball game One Piece TCG gave out free basketball promo cards that resell for $200+ online This guy bought EVERY card from fan leaving the game 😂 (video creds: scalpy_mcscalpster via tiktok)

I make no apology for posting this photo. I think it’s a photo that will haunt America in the years to come. This is what you have become. If you defend this, have a word with yourself.

@ALionEye glad it helped you. it's not helpful from my point of view.

Listen people you might not like the x-x game but on a horrific night in Indy, holding onto the 8x-6x against the end of their bench was a THRILL RIDE.

@EdBottomley I'm telling my kids this is the official state song: youtu.be/Ffzz70SC1jI?si…

😭

@gwizzy12 A braided leather belt would draw the eye and generate universal approval of the tuck. it that a sweater polo? Sharp.

This is once again the goal tonight

@ALionEye Congrats!

You marry a woman with three boys and then you quasi-adopt a fourth son along the way and then they grow up to have kids of their own and *then* you go to the beach with the four boys and their three kids and the two on the way and you can hardly believe your luck.

@marctothec thanks for the great #mxb2024 presentation. When the red hat was on screen, I was “Nah. Nope. No. No…Yeah.” Really so relevant to today’s culture.

@marctothec looking forward to you sharing #ForTheCulture insights at #MXB2024 #UMich

@ALionEye Is that ordered alphabetically, left to right on the away line? I'm hoping it's a single PNW trip for O and W. Otherwise that jetlag will be something.

A trip to Oregon and a trip to Washington but both LA teams come to Champaign.

@GottliebShow This video doesn’t represent my experience. I was at a demonstration at U-M campus today. Students organizing the events ware bright vests (like construction workers) and are informed and talk about their perspectives. Share their videos too. Be curious, not judgmental.

We are all f—-d

@ALionEye Hope all is well soon!

I need to leave Omaha today and I won't be at the game tomorrow. And there won't be a meet-up tonight. Everyone is healthy - there's just.. a reason I need to leave. I'll likely still be able to watch and write about the game. Just not in person.

@ALionEye Congrats!

We are officially on Will Robert Make It Back For The Purdue Game watch. I gave myself a two hour buffer to get to the Boise airport but that’s no match for a closed interstate. Looks like there’s no other flights to get me back today so it’ll be a mad scramble tomorrow.

@ALionEye Conspiracy take: “Major University AD Worried, Arkansas U/Brad Undy.”

MUADIWAUBU

@ALionEye How did you read it? Me: “I’m Uadi, whu ahb you?”

@t_annie_howard how many drag-hell bus rides did you take today? say, “rah!”

I know there’s still a strong contingent of ‘I still call it Sears Tower’ people in Chicago, but what if we instead accepted the name change and thought of it as (Wesley) Willis Tower instead?

Hi @thenewjimcrow I heard Michelle Alexander speak at the MLK symposium at the University of Michigan. I want to share her opening comments with a friend and can’t find them online. All the other parts of the symposium are on YT. Did she not sign off on sharing her keynote?
