@BoiledSports @nickbarker123 Thank you, good sirs. It only took like 15+ years to win this one!

@BoiledSports The Rose Bowl (I went for Illinois - USC). It was such an incredible experience in a beautiful place. Especially in January.

@StarLineChicago 100%, and you’d definitely upset some people with whatever you chose (as a 30-something with a kid and no affiliation, I would have been annoyed if they called Fullerton “DePaul”), but in the best cases, transit system station names have a way of “normalizing” the vernacular

[John Jachna @JohnJachna]

@StarLineChicago Though at first glance it seems like using the intersecting street makes sense, I always felt having the station named after the neighborhood, geography, or major attraction (more like London, or even the old stockyard branch) would make it less confusing and more locally iconic

[John Jachna @JohnJachna]

@StarLineChicago Which governing body is best suited/equipped to spearhead the tunnel build? We know, ideally, all Chicagoland transit should be consolidated into one org, but assuming that doesn’t happen, who can lead this?

@BoilerInTexas The students need to be in one contiguous section. Preferably in an intimidating place, like how nearly every other big ten school places them

[John Jachna @JohnJachna]

@TheRealKatPat Just had this exact discussion. Green has the contrast stitching for the logo, which looks amazing, but gives fall/winter only. Lighter blue leans spring summer. Darker blue goes all seasons. Brown is brown.

@AnarchyApe @alanthefisher Those commercials were so low budget I had no clue that had a more national reach

@alanthefisher Fresh to your family from Jewel

@Nerd4Cities I love Chicago and our rich transportation history, but Union Station is so incredibly underutilized, and the fact that commuters/every day passengers scurry through the utilitarian underground maze for the track concourses gives off serious Penn Station vibes

[John Jachna @JohnJachna]

@Nerd4Cities I’m in Wheaton, IL now after growing up in the suburbs and spending a decade in Chicago. Wheaton isn’t the best, but like many old Chicago suburb downtowns, it grew along interurban lines and has many walkable amenities. Beyond the downtown, though, and things are… less good

[John Jachna @JohnJachna]

@WilldeFries This is a very “Duda” take

[John Jachna @JohnJachna]

@sundayscaries Mine is on a wifi smart plug that’s scheduled to turn on 15 minute before we typically get in bed and turns off when we need to get up. If yours is a spare Hatch (baby light/noise machine), their app does that for you

[John Jachna @JohnJachna]

@JeremyAnder199 @BoiledSports No, I think you’re into something. For some reason, this bracket has Rutger getting a double bye as a 4 seed. That can’t be right

[John Jachna @JohnJachna]

@aneeshswamy Told my wife I’m going to trade watching Purdue games for knitting because knitting seems like it would be more fun than this

[John Jachna @JohnJachna]

@BoiledSports The JLo/Shakira one was really electric too

[John Jachna @JohnJachna]

@WineFolly That good, high quality Lambrusco
