I'd recommend Schoolyard Tavern on Southport. It's an Illini bar and the Cubs are playing that afternoon, so it should be a pretty good atmosphere and crowd in there.

I would also be down for the EPL fantasy league. If not this year, we should set one up for next year. -Liverpool didn't sign much, but I am excited for Harvey Elliott (16 year old from Fulham) -None, but I see Lovren leaving next season most likely. I wish we would have been able to resign...

Correct his grandfather is Lou. His dad is Rick Malnati who played at Bradley. Lou Malanti's even opened up a restaurant in Peoria in the Mid 80's when he was there.

The closest Illini bar to Wrigley is Schoolyard Tavern on Southport and School. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the south stretch of the Clark Street Wrigley bars. It's honestly been a rough decade for Illini bars in Chicago with Rebel, now The Country Club, switching to FSU and Durkin's...

Wouldn't it be awesome if they recreated this ad with Josh haha?

Appreciate the code, that is much better! I think sneaking down to the 100 or 200 level may be easier too with the double header.

Honestly, I am shocked too. I am still on the fence on going Saturday, but two tickets cost $100 total with fees in the 300 level?? Not one to normally complain on ticket prices, but these prices lack plain common sense with the state of the program. Right now you can still get row 1 of section...

I understand Gunner fans frustrations though. Sagna started for France in the Euro final and he started for Man City on Saturday. Wenger knew with Mertesacker and Welbeck out he would be lacking depth at CB and Striker. Why would he give Giroud and Koscielny extra time off? Sanchez and Theo are...

Da’Monte and Manual coach Derrick Booth were on ESPN Peoria 96.5 with Jim Mattson yesterday. I missed it live, but was able to find a link. http://espnpeoria.com/audio-vault/ The interview is the second from the top and takes a few seconds to appear. Some highlights from them both: -Booth...

I remember hearing Negron was a huge fan growing up and I know both of Smith's parents went to U of I. Smith had 27 points about a couple weeks ago against Niles North and he had 18 points last week against North Chicago to help Stevenson clinch the North Suburban conference. I guess the...

His Royal Part II? Congrats Monte and what a great get! So happy for the Peoria Pipeline to be back!

beIN Sports USA has the rights to the League Cup if you have that with your cable package. You can usually find a stream on Reddit Soccer during the game, but I don't have one right now. I am hoping the Reds face the Blue Noses in a Merseyside final. That hasn't happened since the FA Cup final...
