David Mirkovic is the funniest player in college basketball. We asked Illini players and coaches for their best Mirkovic stories. They delivered. Free link: https://t.co/b4D3hUSl3M

@Coach_Patterson @BobZuppke But you cant also keep playing the freshman 40 minutes a game.

You absolutely know the players dont trust or believe in Henry. If your not committed, you dont go 100%

All the NIL we have for Phil Parker. I dont care how old he is, create some eligibility for the man!

If walters can take over off play calling last year at the half and put up over 30, bret can fire aaron and take over def play calling at the half this year.

You wont be an elite team with Aaron Henry as your D coordinator. Nepotism will be Bielemas downfall if he doesnt make a move in the offseason.

#OTD 1981 - The Cardinals acquire Willie McGee from the Yankees for southpaw Bob Sykes (who will not appear in a MLB game)

Willie, one of the Cardinals fans most beloved players, will go on to have a stellar career - winning the 1985 NL MVP, capture two batting crowns, and earn three Gold Gloves.

The Brewers will enter August with an MLB-leading winning percentage of .593 (64-44).

That is the lowest winning percentage by the MLB leader entering August in a season in the modern era.

Today in 1982, you rode your bicycle around barefoot like some kind of goddamn beast with no regard for shin or foot pain.
