Hey, @ALionEye… From University of IL Athletics website: Bielema is 42-29 as Illinois HC. His .592 winning % is second in Illinois history behind only Zuppke's .618 winning % from 1913-41 (min. 50 games). He’s got a 4x-2x record as HC. Good thing we pulled out the W today.😜

Everyone needs to watch this. EVERYONE. Don’t be like Tommy.

Genuinely shocked how bad Bret Bielema and the Illinois staff botched the motion this program had. This team genuinely sucks and it feels like the momentum this program had is completely gone.

In other news, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
Update from the reflecting pool! The pool has been drained, and there are no signs of the giant gash that Donald Trump has been lying about. No indications of major vandalism. Just a bad paint job. The only thing that’s been exposed is that Trump has been lying about this.

If you think vandals cut a 3 football field-long tear in the Reflecting Pool with a box cutter, in the water, with no one noticing, and this wasn’t just a case of Trump overpaying a donor known for doing terrible work, then congratulations, you’re in a cult.

If your patriotism attracts white nationalists, it isn’t patriotism. It’s hate.

Turning the White House into a UFC venue was disgraceful enough—but allowing UFC fighter Josh Hokit to stand on that historic stage and spew vile conspiracy theories that "Michelle Obama is a man" is an absolute abomination. When the People’s House is handed over to bullies to promote hate, it insults the very fabric of American democracy. This rot cannot be normalized.

This is beyond ludicrous. Why the hell are U.S. Marines and soldiers saluting a UFC fighter? The military swears an oath to the Constitution, not celebrities, influencers, or the latest personality cult. Watching service members rendered as props for a UFC spectacle is beneath the dignity of the uniform and beneath the dignity of the country.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
These service members are saluting Medal of Honor recipient Ty Carter, who is walking with the UFC fighter. By tradition, all U.S. military personnel salute Medal of Honor recipients regardless of rank. mohmuseum.org/medal-recipien… army.mil/medalofhonor/c…

I I’ll never forgive people who voted for Trump. This is on them. The Lincoln Memorial is hallowed ground. Where our greatest president, who gave his life to end slavery, is commentated. Where the Gettysburg Address is written. We live as graffiti now.

Democrats are so diabolical and ingenious at rigging elections that Republicans control the presidency, house and senate.

Every election: 'The fraud is everywhere!' Every courtroom: 'Do you have evidence?' MAGA: 'No, but we're very upset.'

Illinois’s campus is 120 miles from the Final Four in Indianapolis. This was the scene as the Illini took the court for open practice.

On the same night the Illini men's team gets to the Sweet 16, the Illini women win a tournament game for the second straight season for the first time in 26 years. I don't think the Illini athletic department's ever been in a better place. @IlliniAD doesn't miss.
