Stadium thoughts:
The frustrating part is this has been years in the making. The Bears bought Arlington Park. They explored the lakefront. They went back to Arlington Heights. Indiana got involved. Everyone saw this coming, and Illinois still waited until the last second.
This is like coming out of a timeout and taking a delay of game. You had time. You knew the situation. And somehow you still weren’t ready.
Soldier Field is iconic, but it limits revenue. A modern stadium district means better seating, concerts, naming rights, Final Fours, Super Bowls, and year round money.
Illinois treated this like a homework assignment they started at 11:58 the night before it was due. (I’m too familiar with this) #DaBears #Bears

.@BerganGolf Jackson Luebbe is the Centennial Conference champion, making this putt for a -1, 70.
It’s the first tournament the sophomore standout has won in high school.
Back when the playoff brackets were set up East and West. Semifinal game @BCBraves at Geneva was much closer and decided on a goalline stand by Geneva.
I've posted more than a few of these types of posts below, down through the years…and I just hope that it never seems routine or blasé to us out of sheer repetition.
Because we should never take results like this for granted. They don't just happen because we put our orange and black shirts on and show up to the meets.
Results like this are created over days and weeks and months through a painstaking process undertaken by #DoaneTF athletes and coaches. What would seem to most like mind-numbing details attended to every day at practice (and plans for those practices) by the dedicated practitioners of our sport yield these kinds of numbers.
Every exercise, every lift, every jump, every 150-meter repeat and every mile, every day means something.
So, let's celebrate! But at the same time, let's not forget what got us here.
Curtis, time to order two more new banners.
