@JayMurryPBP @BQuillmanQcast @iwusports Thanks guys. It was my pleasure! Jay is a great broadcaster and his fundraising efforts to find a cure for Rett Syndrome is truly inspiring.

@BQuillmanQcast Thanks @BQuillmanQcast! Fond memories of @macslive. As I recall the three of us combined for 25 rebounds that night. @lerbear did most of the work. Looking forward to going back this year.

@IWUhoopscom @IWUBasketball No spot in your bracket for the radio guy? Guess it would be a bad look if I took the title.

[Eric Stock @EricWGLT]

Thanks @IWUhoopscom. Surfer vibe is my favorite vibe @SportTheory101. Will inquire about the scrimmage. Could always use another expert on the broadcast if you can find a flight into Bloomington.

[Bob Quillman @BQuillmanQcast]

Happy birthday to the voice of the Titans, @EricWGLT!!

For his part, Danenberger says he feels ‘fine’ now but ‘we’ll see in an hour,’ adding he’s encouraged by higher than expected turnout in early and mail-in voting. He was up by more than 100 votes at the time over Steven Nalefski, but his lead has grown since then.
