April 9, 1942, 83 years ago today, U.S. forces surrendered, prompting the horrific Bataan Death March. Among those captured was Motts Tonelli, former fullback for Notre Dame and the Chicago Cardinals. Upon release in '45, he returned to the NFL for one last game! Never forget...

Did you know? After returning to Zion, Illinois in 2015, Billy McKinney became the building commissioner, biking around town to personally inspect projects! 🚴‍♂️ His hands-on approach shows dedication to improving his community. #ZionIllinois #CommunityLeader @CSHOFChicago

Replying to @QuinnBuckner
@QuinnBuckner's tribute to Coach Bob Knight: "He was a terrific man...The world lost a guy who was a genius and really understood life as well as basketball and I feel quite privileged to be whatever I am because I had been in his presence at such an early age and he helped me grow. For all of IU nation, I'm going to take privilege here and speak. He'll be dearly missed. That's a Hall of Fame coach. It resonates in a lot of places." Quinn Buckner played for the Indiana University Hoosiers under Bob Knight. Buckner was inducted into the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame in 1991. @IndianaMBB @TexasTechMBB

Replying to @MikeCoachk
@MikeCoachk's statement on the passing of Coach Bobby Knight: “We lost one of the greatest coaches in the history of basketball today. Clearly, he was one of a kind. Coach Knight recruited me, mentored me, and had a profound impact on my career and in my life. This is a tremendous loss for our sport and our family is deeply saddened by his passing. We offer our sincerest condolences to Karen, Tim, Pat, and their families during this difficult time.” Bob Knight coached Mike Krzyzewski while at Army, and later brought him on as an assistant at Indiana. Mike Krzyzewski was inducted into the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame in 1999. @IndianaMBB @TexasTechMBB

I ask Coach Rob Smith of Simeon if he produced a camp for coaches on how to build relationships, schedule elite games & manage the high level talent of teams, would coaches attend. What do you think... Will the coaches attend?? @ChiEliteClassic @chitownshowcase 📽️: @AGM_PLUS

The first signature on my 48 jersey came from Molly. A warrior who fought as hard as she could for nearly 2 years. She was feisty & fun & an amazing big sister. I will always look at this jersey and think of you & will continue fighting until we have a cure. #NoGiveUpInUs.

At 100, Charley Trippi was the second-oldest Hall of Famer ever. In his youth, he starred for the Chicago Cardinals from 1947-55 and was part of what was dubbed the million-dollar “Dream Backfield.” #HOFForever
