Fired up to have Matt on board here in Champaign. Area coaches/ADs/athletes, give him a follow as you'll see him out and about soon when the 2026-27 school year arrives

I’ll have some content coming in the next couple of days as the prep season approaches, but if you’re looking to learn a little about me, I invite you to listen to Monday’s edition of SportsTalk (https://t.co/SUSL2RaVzB)

I’ll have more in an upcoming column too.

[Matt Lucas @Matt_LucasNG]

There are better days ahead

[Matt Lucas @Matt_LucasNG]

Uhh, pretty sure that’s not great!
