SOX WIN ✅ SOX CLINCH ✅ The @whitesox are postseason bound for the first time since 2021!

Coming off a year in which the Big Ten won its first MBB national championship since 2000, the conference could have as many as seven or eight Top 25 caliber teams. Illinois is definitely in my preseason top five and Michigan State is hovering near there as well.

Good morning! Great day ahead - great season ahead!! I’m so thankful to begin another journey of 1,000 Touchdowns with millions of you. But for me - as always - *nothing compares* to knowing Christ my Savior. May God bless you and your loved ones.

“If he is a one-and-done, top 20 pick one-and-done, then I think Illinois is back in the final four, also I think Illinois is winning a title, if Quentin Coleman is a top 20 pick” Is Quentin Coleman a top 20 pick in the NBA Draft? @CarterElliott__ thinks he might, and to watch out for Illinois if so…⬇️

If you are looking for an underdog to root for at the U.S. Open, we know just the guy. “Really low times … I’ve been leaning on my wife.” Three years after becoming a PGA TOUR champion, @NickHardy8 finds himself in no-man's land as he bounces between Tours. In 2026, Hardy has made seven Korn Ferry Tour starts with zero top-25s, and six PGA TOUR starts with just one made cut. He's outside the top 130 on each circuit's season-long standings, fighting to secure a playing schedule for 2027. Today, he earned his spot in a major championship. He even leaned on advice from a former U.S. Open champion, Lucas Glover. “The lows are never as low as it seems and the highs are never as high as it seems.” Golf is a funny game … One that inspires perseverance, hard work and a positive attitude. Nick Hardy has shown all of the above, and now he has a tee time at Shinnecock Hills in his national championship ❤️ And in the words of the man himself … “I like my game for a U.S. Open.”
