And he wasn't on the field all that much. Great job, Katin. Great composure, arm, release, accurate and can run and scramble. What more do ya want? Sorry, stronger arm than Cool Hand Luke.

If it happens, I want a finder's fee re: caterpillar thing. You read it here first. On record. Could always use few extra bucks. You too? We shall see. Fat chance. GO ILLINI - with or without a mascot. Bye.

I also considered the Tully Monster, Illinois' state fossil. Not cute. Might give kiddies the creeps. Monarchs are alive, but they aren't doing very well. I've got 20 milkweed plants surrounding my patio; very few Monarch butterflies laying eggs; yet to see a caterpillar. No like.

If you just gotta have a mascot, why not a Monarch caterpillar now that Caterpillar logo is present on Zuppke Field? The Monarch is our state butterfly. Or, if not, a cute, huggable milkweed plant. Nah. Stick with a caterpillar and get Caterpillar to sponsor it. Great public relations...

College of Coaches, P.K. Wrigley and my man, Lee Elia! *Very honorable mention, special shout out to the legendary Pat Pieper. First loud-speaker voice I ever heard in 1955-56. I think the Cubs beat the Phillies. Probably not. I've witnessed a lot of losing in my time, you whippersnappers. But...

Recency bias and ignorance. I don't take it seriously. No Cap Anson, Billy Herman, Lon Warnecke, Kiki Cuyler, Ken Hubbs, Ken Holtzman et al? No disrespect to the man, but who the heck is Pedro Strop? My ignorance. Sorry. If I were in the Wrigley Field bleachers I would guzzle beer like crazy...

Think of Ben Hogan at Merion 1950 for inspiration. Couldn't hurt. Go Max! Can do!

If I knew how to share/link/whatever, I would. But check out Illinois Open leaderboard at Illinois PGA website. Coach is even par; some Illini are shooting real low.

And you are probably DSA.

Why all the injuries? Can't figure out.

U.S. lost the Palmer Cup, but Max was undefeated. Yay Max!

Thanks. Max and partner won 3&2 today. AP site didn't show that result for a long time. At least I couldn't find it.

Good luck Max in Palmer Cup in Ireland. US, Internationals tied 6-6 after day 1. Think Max and partner won in four ball. Having trouble finding detailed results Help?

A must-watch tv golf event. Go Illini.

Go ADC in the U.S. Open.
