Are you or a loved one a member of the Chicago Building Nerd Collective? If so, you are entitled to one of Brick Guy Will Quam's calendars after giving him money for it. It's absolutely lovely, with a cover that evokes the storied history of Chicago's glorious terra cotta. INJECT IT INTO MY VEINS!

when Northwestern takes on Michigan next Saturday, Michigan comes in with 5 out of 12 games involving the number 13 including the last met a year ago. Will 13 figured prominently in the game or is the line +13.5 Michigan?
