I don’t know the protocols for bringing an Instagram reel over to Twitter but I feel like everyone needs to see this. That “is it a screen or is it actually happening in front of us?” place in Los Angeles (Cosm Los Angeles)? Here’s the Olano field goal from Saturday:

This clip from yesterday's episode is very long (seven minutes is basically an hour by 2026 attention span standards) but I wanted to tweet the full clip. If you're curious about the current moment in college sports re: revshare and NIL, Illini AD Josh Whitman frames it all here.

Look man, I hate that we lost. But being here to support the players (players in tears) when they return to the hotel is the core of all of this. We love no other.

December 22, 1993. Missouri 108, Illinois 107 (3 OT) There were games with much more at stake (2005 national championship game, 1983 Rose Bowl), but this is asking for "worst", and that game was the worst. (Video credit: KSDK)

A question I had wanted to ask Coach Underwood for a long time. Why is there this one spot in the center of the country that acts as the cradle of Illini basketball coaches? Full episode here:

Carey Booth came back out to work on some post moves in an empty SFC. Deon Thomas was watching him, saw something, and went out to give him some pointers. Pay attention, kid. Greatest post scorer in Illini history.

I asked Illini AD Josh Whitman about the current college athletics environment and whether there's an "appetite" for governance. I hope everyone involved in college athletics hears his five minute response:

Driving my family’s 1972 steel-hulled houseboat listening to some 1993 Freddy Jones Band while a 2026 four-star *from the Metro East* chooses Illinois. Life: good.

It took me a bit (the Louisiana thing threw me off) but I finally saw that you're a South Carolina fan, Chris Marler. I was wondering why you'd keep this going but now it all makes sense. If this had nothing to do with B1G/SEC schedules & was only about the Citrus Bowl, well...

Sitting at the press conference today, I was overwhelmed by the history of the moment. #20 in the CFP Poll... Citrus Bowl... chance at 10 wins... this is heady stuff in Champaign. So I asked Josh Whitman what it meant to him as a former player.

The next 3 games are sold out. Which means the grass lots (like Lot 31) will be as packed as they've ever been. This means they'll be enforcing the tailgating space rules. So your Old Pal Robert made a little video about the rules. I am saving you so many headaches on Saturday:
