The only reason I’m still on this platform is for the #mubb community, esp on a night like this. Ring Out, Ahoya!

@EsotericCD I’ve been thinking that. The bicentennial was a huge deal in 1976. I was 8 and it’s a core memory — all the fun ways it infused that year. Special collectible quarters, pop cans, clothing, TV specials. I was sad when it was over.

@Aries_Sherrie So impressed by his show of support through the season when he surely wanted to be on the floor. Wishing him much success and joy in all things ahead!

@mattlindner We landed at ORD last Tues in the middle of the storm w/ biblical hail and tornados. The turbulence took years off my life. I’d rather sit tight and wait for weather to clear.

@HeidiStevens13 Thank you, Heidi!

@NateGchi Exactly right. A total scam. A ridiculous waste of time and punishes people who don’t have or shop with their smartphone — seniors, etc. And the in-store U Deals signage is false advertising.

Grateful to have been adjacent to both programs that shaped Mike Newman: as a parent when our son ran for @XctfYork from 2014-18 — and now as a staff member at North Central College. Two HOF coaches. One passionate, tireless servant. Countless young people impacted by his work.

[North Central Men’s Track and Cross Country @NCCMensXCTF]

We are heartbroken to hear of Michael Newman’s passing over the weekend

Mike made a lasting impact on the high school cross country and track & field community throughout Illinois.

His contributions will be profoundly missed but never forgotten. Thank you, Mike, for everything.

@mattyglesias Medical equipment in my fruit salad will be a big hit at the summer BBQ.

@ByJonWalker We need to refocus on what college athletics are about. This is the best win you can get as a student-athlete — lessons and relationships that last a lifetime.
