@ALionEye Same as everyone else. Except for fans of these teams themselves, no one will watch.

I don't think I've ever watched a single minute of a First Four game. It's just never interested me. The Tournament starts on Thursday at 11:10 am with 64 teams. And with the First Four expanding to the First Twelve, I'll still just watch the 64 teams starting Thursday at 11:10.

Bill Maher asks how the government is “failing the poor so badly” when he pays “60 PERCENT” of his earnings in taxes. “Last week was tax day… I paid the government probably almost 60% of what I earn. That’s a lot.” “And I… wouldn’t mind if Bernie Sanders would stop saying the rich don’t pay taxes.” “The top 10% pay 72% of all federal income taxes. And the bottom half, 3%.” “The Democratic Socialists talk about socialism like we don’t already have a lot: Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, nutritional assistance, Medicaid, Obamacare, disability, housing subsidies.” “How can you be soaking the rich and failing the poor so badly? How can it be that the federal government alone took in over 5 trillion in taxes last year, and we still need that?” “Are we really this incompetent and corrupt?”

What an absolute joke. Shameful.

Health plans are cutting prior authorization requirements & taking steps to improve the healthcare experience for patients. @AHIPCoverage highlights a broader push for plans & providers to eliminate manual processes & adopt real-time data sharing. ahip.org/news/articles/…

@JWerner247 Can’t bring myself to vote

What the cross is all about. One of the most beautiful statements I’ve ever read.

I'm going to keep posting this Alstair Begg clip "The Man on the Middle Cross" (less than four minutes in length) every Holy Week, because its message is true in 2026, it will be true in 2036 and it will be true in 3036. "If i take my eyes off the cross, I can then give only lip service to its efficacy while at the same time living as if my salvation depends upon me. And as soon as you go there it will lead you either to abject despair or a horrible kind of arrogance. And it is only the cross of Christ that deals both with the dreadful depths of despair and the pretentious arrogance of the pride of man that says you know, I can figure this out."

@darreldrowland I have Trump nailed on violating at least six of the Ten Commandments. Perhaps seven.

Jesus: "“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full"

@KShermanSports @BrianAGraham42 @Under_Bradswood Hard to argue with these choices. But I feel like there needs to be room for Frank Williams somewhere.

@BrianAGraham42 @Under_Bradswood No Dee Brown? Very interesting

If Illinois lost a chance to go the Final Four on a play like that I would walk into traffic

Thank you Ayo Thank you Trent Thank you Kofi Thank you Terrence Thank you Marcus Thank you Coleman Thank you to all the Illini who helped turn this program around We’re going to the Final Four

@stephen__cohn Not to mention this... fightingillini.com/news/2009/2/18…

I sat through 63-0. The lows of the lows of Illini athletics. Four years. No bowl games. No NCAA Tournaments (men's or women's). It felt like this day -- relevance -- would never come. The day has come.

For just the third time in my life...ILLINOIS IS GOING TO THE FINAL FOUR! #Illini

Illinois comes down to Houston and beats Houston by double digits and it didn't even seem that close. We were having a lot of conversations about title contenders before the tournament. And it's clear that we didn't say enough about Illinois. That was impressive.

Almost threw up typing that sentence. Nauseating.

@glenn_kinley Maybe we can actually do it for once. No time like the present!

Timeout Houston. Lead back to seven. #Illini with a chance to put their foot on the throat here... Cannot give momentum back.
