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:

The video cuts off at the trees (as it should because South Of The Trees tailgates are the partners and North Of The Trees tailgates are the junior associates). But here’s a North Of The Trees video from yesterday showing that we all might be ready for that promotion.

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)

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.

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.

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:

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.

If you’re wondering why Tomi, Jake, and Z announced their return at the same time late in the evening, they happened live on stage at Brad Underwood’s Coaches vs Cancer fundraiser tonight. Here’s the three announcements. You’re going to want to watch Tomi’s.

Here's Coach Bielema's answer to my question about the seniors he recruited. And yes, I upgraded to Twitter premium just now so that I could post a video longer than 2:20. It's that important. I never do the all-caps thing but... WATCH:

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:

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...
