Caught up with #illini fourth-year OL TJ McMillen about why he stayed at Illinois, his versatility, what he learned from Josh Kreutz, leadership, transfer additions & more.
"I don't want to run away from competition," McMillen said.

Three of Bret Bielema's early in-state recruiting wins represented #illini football at Wednesday's White Sox game, a sign they are stepping into bigger roles on and off the field.
"It's a big role, but we're having a lot of fun with it right now."

Larry Bird also played college baseball. For one game. As a dare. To a packed crowd.
Indiana State baseball coach Bob Warn kidded Bird about how real men play baseball. Bird told him "I could do that."
A couple weeks after losing the NCAA championship to Magic Johnson, Bird took the field at 1st base in the second game of a doubleheader against Kentucky Wesleyan.
Bird surprised everyone by going 1-for-2 and knocking in 2 RBIs. He also had 9 putouts at first.
He signed with the Boston Celtics two months later. #BaseballTwitter #LarryBird #Celtics #IndianaState #NBA #MarchMadness
