Butkus.

"Synonymous with football. It's synonymous with hitting, contact, aggressiveness."

This is my favorite NFL Films Dick Butkus segment of them all.

The best testimonials, the one I feel best captures the true essence of the iconic #Bears middle linebacker.

March 5, 1989: It appeared as if Jay Edwards hit the game-tying shot for Indiana to send the game to OT, but Illinois’ Nick Anderson drained a 35-foot three at the buzzer to beat the Hoosiers at Assembly Hall.

Keith Jackson & @DickieV on the call.

[Adam Rittenberg @ESPNRittenberg]

Illinois spent the offseason rightly touting its Euro stars, but the face of the team is a wispy 6-6 guard from Kansas who has placed himself among the nation’s elite.

Keaton Wagler’s is a story of loyalty, pancakes and a distinct road to stardom.

The easy narrative is that Keaton Wagler was an unseen, off-circuit recruit.

The real story is a lot more complicated and explains the imperfect art of modern recruiting.

Keaton Wagler just scored a combined 74 points and shot 65% in two Top 5 road wins in 8 days 🤯

He's the first D1 player over the last 20 years to have multiple 25+ point games in road wins over AP Top 5 teams (per @JaredBerson) 👀

[Big Ten Men's Basketball @B1GMBBall]

4️⃣6️⃣ points!

Heres a closer look at Keaton Wagler’s historic effort at Purdue 👀

“You find out, after signing day, which I think was timed purposefully, that [Sherrone Moore] is fired with cause… This is what myself and several other people had heard a month ago… Let me put it this way, agents have expected the Michigan job to coming open for several weeks now.”
- Josh Pate

Michigan knew about Sherrone Moore’s situation for a while and intentionally waited until after signing day 😳

[Illini Stats & Notes @IlliniStats]

Illinois has the #8 ESPN strength of schedule rating among CFP Top 25 teams and #30 overall.

The Illini’s strength of schedule is tougher than 3 three-loss teams that were ahead of Illinois in last week’s CFP: #14 Ole Miss (31st), #12 Clemson (52nd), and #17 Tulane (98th)

There was a devastating fire in downtown Indianapolis over the weekend that took out a shelter for veterans.. terrible timing heading into the winter months

If you’re able to help out at all, I’ll match everything donated up to $250,000 thru this GoFundMe link.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with @Wish4RHeroes in the past.. they take care of veterans in a very hands on way. Day to day items to help our country’s heroes make it to tomorrow and then hopefully a better future for all of them.

We’re in this thing together.
