I was filming a homecoming story at Papa Del's and guess who walked in to do a pizza review. @stoolpresidente on tomorrow's Big Noon Kickoff: "It's a test of the student body whether they can be up early and ready to go..." More of what Portnoy said tonight at 6 on @WCIA3.

Campus bars can serve alcohol tomorrow, but can’t serve anything in a glass container. Liquor stores on campus won’t be allowed to serve alcohol after 6 pm.

The City of Champaign is enacting an emergency order restricting the sale of alcohol on the U of I’s campus ahead of tomorrow’s Elite Eight matchup against Iowa. The mayor says it’s, “…to reduce the possibility of public safety hazards…” Hear about it tonight at 5 on WCIA 3.

Love this from #Illini head coach Brad Underwood - asked if he has any issue/finds it unfair to have to play Houston IN Houston in the Sweet 16. "I could care less... I'm an old JUCO ball coach. I drove on 16 passenger fans. I drove from Dodge City, Kansas to Mesa, Arizona for a basketball game... If you had told me back then that I'm getting to coach basketball in the Sweet 16 and play Houston - I would sign up for it, I would crawl to get there." Says regardless of where the game is, Illinois would/will need to play well to beat the Cougars. (Video from NCAA)

This is big-time.

WAGSANITY!

I’ll have a lot to say about Terry Boers the next time I’m on @thescorechicago. He meant so much to so many people and it’s an amazing legacy that people can’t help but smile when they think of you. I highly recommend a YouTube search of his name. Just nonstop laughs.

Kid on his porch in Arlington Heights, IL this morning, just hanging out shredding cheese. What a time to be alive…. @ChicagoBears

Gut-wrenching end to that Ravens-Steelers game.

Our @_peterhanson got the inside story of how the #Illini basketball smashed guitar got framed! This was the first time Gali Meier of International Galleries in Urbana had ever framed a guitar, which was delivered by Adam Fletcher. She says the guitar arrived glued back together despite a couple of missing pieces.

This…kinda stings?

Had the opportunity to sit down and talk #Illini with @deebrown11 this morning. Check out the full exclusive interview here: wcia.com/sports/illini-…

Dee Brown stopped by WCIA this morning for an interview with @_peterhanson. He went 4-0 in Braggin' Rights games. "It was a pride thing - We can't lose to Missouri... We had a really good Christmas every time we played Missouri." Story coming up at 6. @deebrown11

Sneak it. Then you have 4 shots at the end zone with 2 TO’s in your pocket.
