2018 Challenge Officially in the books. We Appreciate not only the players/sponsors, but my favorite pic of the day. An image filled with Volunteer Student-Athletes that came to help, the reason for the event, and the Future of @SIUC @SIUSalukis @SIUAlumni #SIU #SIUC #SalukiPride

From personal experience she is a World Class Hugger. Sweetest person in the World, the Real Deal, but can probably crack my head like a walnut with 1 Arm. Keep it Flyin' D. @DeannaPrice32 @SIUAlumni @Coach_R_Joseph @Coach_J_Lambert @SIUSalukis @LizJarnigan #TokyoOlympics

[Saluki Track & Field @SIU_TrackXC]

DeAnna Price: Saluki Alum. 2x Olympian. International Hugger. 😄

I wasn't exactly a finesse BBall player, but this gives my little bit of hack ball, a whole new meaning...

[Pat McAfee @PatMcAfeeShow]

Every time I watch it, I watch somebody different and it’s just as fascinating Every. Single. Time..

What do we have going on here?

Jan Johnson won a very unique PV title at the 1970 @NCAATrackField Outdoor Championships.

He set an all-time world best of 5.35m (17-7) after the competition was moved indoors!

Well, I'm thinking your a little taller than average family... Merry Christmas. Hope it was a good... @SIU_Basketball

[Arlyn Filewich @ArlynFilewich]

Who gets a new 9 ft tree 2 days before Christmas? The Filewich family! 😜

[SIU Chicago Challenge @SIUChallenge]

I warned @Bryan_Mullins_ back in April to watch out for @17NickHill Poachin' this "kid"... @SIU_Basketball is Rollin', and #SalukiNation is Rockin' & Only One Part of a Team of Many Great Players & Coaches/Staff/Etc. @SIUAlumni @SIUC @SIUChancellor @LizJarnigan #GoDawgs

[Nick Hill @17NickHill]

Filewhich looks like he would look good in pads 👀

[SIU Chicago Challenge @SIUChallenge]

Sounds like Mom is Sellin' It... @17NickHill @SIUSalukis Right to be a Proud @SIUSalukis Parent and Cheerleader! He played a killer game tonight, as well as the rest of the Dawgs. Keep it rolling boys... @SIU_Basketball @Bryan_Mullins_

[Arlyn Filewich @ArlynFilewich]

@17NickHill @PaxtonGuy1 Has played o-line, d-line and tight end Blocked a field goal to win the Manitoba provincial championship. He could probably play 4 years of college basketball and then play pro football.

Bacon just makes everything better, and Smoked no less. Happy TD to You & Yours... And to all the @SIUAlumni BGood, BSafe.

The Man knows his headgear... #SilvyStrong #GoDawgs @SIUAlumni @SIUSalukis

[Silvy @WaddleandSilvy]

#Bears have flaws.
Which #NFL teams don’t have flaws? I���ll wait.
Ever get our Justin Herbert?
How many days a week can #NFL play w/o you getting sick of it?
@thekapman vs @TWaddle87 over Jimmy G.
AJ wants to manage #WhiteSox.
Maybe 2 AJs?
Do you get excited about made up days?

Saluki Athletic Director 1976-1981. I literally ran INTO him my first day in the weight room, heading out to the track, under the old McAndrew Stadium. He'd taken harder hits... @SIU @SIUC @SIUSalukis @SIUAlumni @SIU_TrackXC #RIP Kansas Comet

[Mike Janssen @MikeJanssenWX]

One of the greatest to ever do it. #RIP to the Kansas Comet.

[SIU Chicago Challenge @SIUChallenge]

Sorry Bud, but there may have been a reason they didn't want your daughter to see that game... And while the Bears won, it was still a bit of heartburn closing it out against NY-G.

[Coach Cataldo @Coach_Cataldo]

It’s 2020...I live in Illinois and STILL can’t watch the @Lions play without buying Direct TV. With all of the streaming apps I have they only come with regional coverage! I would love to talk to the idiot that came up with this and ask why I would care to see Dallas vs Atlanta?

[SIU Chicago Challenge @SIUChallenge]

I get it... Packers is always Heartburn Central too.

[Coach Cataldo @Coach_Cataldo]

@SIUChallenge I’m sure it was! I’ve got to get her and myself ready for the pack next week 😩 before I even think about December 6th 😂. I hope all is well, stay save too!

[SIU Chicago Challenge @SIUChallenge]

Just Tell her, it was a rough game for the Chicago Fans to watch too... Prep her for Dec. 6th.

Be Good, Be Safe...

[Coach Cataldo @Coach_Cataldo]

Today is Gianna’s 1st ⁦@Lions⁩ game. I told her to be ready for a lifetime of hope and heartache. There will be times where you think “there is no way they can lose this game”...but they will find a way. Her response is how I feel each time. #LifeAsALionsFan

[SIU Chicago Challenge @SIUChallenge]

@SIUC Gives You the Opportunity (Tools Resources Beautiful Environment) to Work Hard, Play Hard, but Are ALL Salukis (Students Faculty Staff, Past & Present) Ready and Willing to COMPETE in this New Era? @SIUChancellor @SIUAlumni Realize that Potential & Own IT! Go Team Dawgs...

[Scott @Walker33Scott]

Just do one act of kindness today!

[SIU Chicago Challenge @SIUChallenge]

@JefferySElwell West was a Class Act... and still is.

[SIU Chicago Challenge @SIUChallenge]

@MikeJanssenWX @WeberGrills We all like sunlight on our butts... (Yes, I know that was too easy.) Cheers.

[SIU Chicago Challenge @SIUChallenge]

Made me dig deep in the relic box, Yes just about every Sunday Night while in the Towers, wife didn't get the title, so the hat got banned from display. Auctioned on the Next Chicago Challenge? @SIUAlumni Booby's RIP @MikeJanssenWX I can still feel the oil running thru my veins.

[Mike Janssen @MikeJanssenWX]

Thursday dinner attire. How many #Salukis remember Booby’s? @SIUC @SIUAlumni @DanHarland @WaddleandSilvy @peggykusinski @lcm1986 @ryandlieber @AmyRutledgeTV @SIUChallenge @camronsmith #GoDawgs #SIU

[SIU Chicago Challenge @SIUChallenge]

Right Back At You... @SIUC @SIUAlumni

[SIU Chicago Challenge @SIUChallenge]

@MikeJanssenWX Is that same headband you were wearing at the last Challenge? We need to get her out for next one... Be Good, Be Safe. @SIUSalukis @SIUC @SIUAlumni
