A Steven Wright joke about Steven Wright… or vice-versa:
“Justin Crawford hits too many ground balls, so let’s really leverage that speed of his and engineer popups and strikeouts.”

In a work meeting today, a colleague said about one of our scientific thought leaders’ specialties, “She’s more bacteria than fungus.”

I responded, “Aren’t we all?”

I expected more than the tepid chuckle I received.

Huge get. Phenomenal get. Huge relief for our guards.

Run or pass, handoff, zone read, or RPO…I’m so excited to see him drive blocking in inside zone schemes.

I have my reservations, and I’ve cooled on this pickup since doing more research after first hearing the early names possible.

But I’ll definitely be happy the #Illini coaches got what seems to have been their primary target right off the bat.

#Bears finish between 3 and 4 wins better than Vegas thought they would in August, and they’re NFC North Champions and sharpie’d in as 2-seed in the conference when very few people expected any NFL playoff berth.
#Bears came into today’s game 3rd in the #NFL in 4th quarter points per game.

Overpursuit BY BG or that woulda been a TFL #Eagles

#Eagles are legitimately committing these DPI’s

Still hate it. #Eagles
I hate running on 2nd and 10 and 2nd and 1 or 2.

Despite my love for so many of these players, #Eagles have been hard for me to watch this entire season, and Nick Sirianni is—in general—hard for me to root for and impossible to like.

But man. Tank Bigsby has been a true bright spot for me since we got him.
In an offseason of complacency by Howie Roseman (and Nick Sirianni when we talk about the Patullo promotion), my boy @caseyboguslaw.bsky.social bears witness that I was indeed happy to get Tank Bigsby the day we signed him.

Man do I love Tank Bigsby.

Below is the only thing that would make me think we win a playoff game, regardless of competition.

#Eagles
We need to see more 20 and 21 personnel with Bigsby and Saquon back there together, and more presnap motion.

Tank is too productive (and Barkley too much a gravitational force) to not be of equal benefit to both each other and this offense together.

Put this baby on ice, Keaton. #Illini
January 4, 2026 at 2:04 AM
Whew did we luck out on that foul call. #Illini
January 4, 2026 at 1:56 AM
Man Keaton is so tough, he gets beat the heck up out there. #Illini

Kylan is a baaaaad man! #Illini

I just don’t understand how this lineup is better than Tomi and Big Z on the floor together.

Are they playing better D? Are they shooting better?

Still hoping. #Illini
Really hope someone like Brandon Lee can rise over Jake Davis in the rotation.
January 4, 2026 at 1:49 AM
Jake Davis just handed PSU so much momentum almost on his own.

And that’s on Brad.

#Illini
I think we are too talented and deep a team for Jake Davis to be so readily available off the bench against this level of competition. #Illini
Davis’ first rebound just now means he no longer has a straight line of all 0s on his stat
line in about 15 minutes of PT. #Illini
January 4, 2026 at 1:47 AM
And another missed three that they ran out and scored on.

#Illini
And a turnover Jake you’re killin me.

#Illini
Ugly release Jake no time for a heat check. #Illini

Up strong with two hands when you come back in Ben. #Illini
That’s two rebounds in a row Ben tried to finesse and we paid for the second one.

#Illini
January 4, 2026 at 1:37 AM
Whew. BIG answer. #Illini
Alright now it’s getting tighter than the score, PSU has a lot of momentum right now.
