What a day.
Today at the Vatican, I met Pope Leo XIV & presented him with a @IlliniFootball jersey: No. 14, "Leo" on the back.
I never imagined there'd be a Southsider leading 1.4b Catholics around the world. Chicago shows up in the most unexpected places. Very grateful.
This weekend capped off celebrating the graduation of @lukas_stubb. 46lbs of brisket, 42lbs of pulled pork, 3 full pans of mac and cheese smoked. Exhausted is an understatement, but it was all worth it. Thanks to everyone who came by to celebrate with him!
If you haven’t watched @NIU_Baseball until tonight, you learned about the character of this team. After a disappointing game earlier, we went toe to toe w/the #10 team in the country. There are no moral victories but you can be proud in defeat, and I am damn proud of our guys.
Playing in its FIRST NCAA Tournament since 1972 (!!)…
Northern Illinois gets its FIRST EVER win in the NCAA Tournament.
The Huskies’ 36 wins this season is also a program record.
An incredibly HISTORIC Regional Friday.
