    Illini in the Pros (Basketball)

    It has been interesting to watch A-Rod as an owner, and I generally like this side of him.....but he needs to ask his coach WTF were you thinking the last two years.

    Illini in the Pros (Basketball)

    As one of the dying few who still get a newspaper delivered each day and have happy memories as a kid of getting up each morning to get the paper and look at MLB box scores among everything else in the sports section, this made me even happier. And then got to meet Will Riley's family in...
