@isureppin12 Undefeated Shockers in 2014 when Kentucky conveniently fell to an 8-seed?

I can see it...

@SoxWinCubsLose That baby position looks so impossibly painful I’d suggest calling it “Normandy Breach”.

@Redbirdfan1 @SoxWinCubsLose Finally got original Play Station from high school years back after 20 years (but my parents forgot to send the games 🤦🏻‍♂️). Same types of connectors.

Figuring out which of my TVs is old enough to successfully hook up may prove challenging.

@isureppin12 @LukeJett Some folks probably wanted him gone when we started 0-6 in conference his first year.

@BearsFanatico94 If you bring a carload of these down to Normal @Redbirdfan1 might let you #CindyGate with us.

[Ryan Fiala @ryanfiala]

@isureppin12 I’m with you. Three “medshirt” early retirements and a key Covid opt-out due to family concerns.

Some recruiting misses as there always will be, but also a lot of guys this year we’d love to see develop and grow as Redbirds. He has a core.

Next year will tell us a lot.

@SoxWinCubsLose @isureppin12 @DiscussionBrawl @BearsFanatico94 But even then, Madigan knew who he had to protect in competitive districts so the final vote was still somewhat close, if I recall.

Everyone’s eyes are always on that next election cycle.

@SoxWinCubsLose @isureppin12 @DiscussionBrawl @BearsFanatico94 Now if Dems had a national supermajority similar to the one they enjoy in IL, minimum wage would go from “we’re thinking about doing this” announcement to a signed bill in two months, which is pretty much how it happened here.

@SoxWinCubsLose @D_Stapp84 @TSkult That comment immediately triggered Tyler Brown flashbacks.

@RedbirdRecon @DanMuller This is like Redbird Basketball tweeting out player of the game vote at halftime.

[Ryan Fiala @ryanfiala]

@NWIOren Someone would beg to differ...

[Ryan Fiala @ryanfiala]

@MikeMcCurdy @ImFatPod Been doing these “Zonuts” for a few months. March features Blueberry Cake and Apple as the two choices. Pictured is Red Velvet from February.

[Ryan Fiala @ryanfiala]

@RedbirdRecon This year for BU felt like ‘12-‘13 for Redbirds after Nic Moore left. Ship sinks quickly when the captain relinquishes command.

But couldn’t have predicted it going full Sloop John B with the tawdry extracurriculars in port...

[Ryan Fiala @ryanfiala]

@Redbirdfan1 @MarchArchPod @z2m4o is going to win it when he Names That Tune.

@Therealmarkw1 @ImFatPod Side effects are no worse than a post-Krispy Kreme burger siesta.

[Ryan Fiala @ryanfiala]

@N8Carp @ryandenhamIL @chazWGLT Going by $$$ contributions won’t work, since most coalitions don’t give money (the chamber cuts radio ads endorsing candidates instead), so I guess that doesn’t work. Nailing down membership numbers would be sketchy...

Do any of these coalitions generate social media engagement?

[Ryan Fiala @ryanfiala]

@N8Carp @ryandenhamIL @chazWGLT Needs proportionally sized circles/bubbles to illustrate clout.

[Ryan Fiala @ryanfiala]

@morans14 @D_Stapp84 @Redbirdfan1 @Ryan_Red_Ehredt Circles From Heaven!
