He got it from his mama.
Bear 89, aka Backpack, is the 2026 Fat Bear Week champ. Turns out hefty runs in the family.
His mom, Holly the Duchess of Density, won in 2019. She carried him on her back as a cub and helped him survive a serious leg injury. Now her little Backpack has a crown of his own. 👑

I feel like we have a responsibility to teach the next generation about Paul Konerko
What a ball player

Tadahito Iguchi, Aaron Rowand and Paul Konerko hit back-to-back-to-back home runs off Hall of Famer Randy Johnson in the 4th!

Congrats to this legend on retirement. One of the best leaders the game has seen. I could not have asked for a better teammate to come into the league with and I’m proud of all our success together over the years.

What a day.
Today at the Vatican, I met Pope Leo XIV & presented him with a @IlliniFootball jersey: No. 14, "Leo" on the back.
I never imagined there'd be a Southsider leading 1.4b Catholics around the world. Chicago shows up in the most unexpected places. Very grateful.

If we're being honest, my biggest problem with the NCAA Tournament expanding isn't that they don't need more teams, or that those teams will be mediocre high majors.
It's that the new format will completely change the way you fill out a bracket. You either have to include the play-in games, which leaves you with less time to put your bracket together, or you have to wait until all those play-in games are finished before you can fill it out. Both options suck.

Stefan Vaaks produced as a freshman at Providence. Now at Illinois coming off a Final Four run.
If his initiation flashes scale in a bigger role & efficiency grows, this isn’t incremental. It’s national with real NBA buzz 👀
Is he a B10 breakout or same player in a better spot?
BREAKING: Providence transfer guard Stefan Vaaks has committed to Illinois, @JoeTipton reports.
The 6-7 freshman averaged 15.8 points per game this season.

Tomislav Ivisic will only wear one jersey in his college basketball career
- Recruited Zvonimir
- Recruited Mirk
- Sacrificed minutes and shots for the greater good of the team
- Delivered when Illinois needed it most in the Elite 8
Illini for life

I’m not sure David Mirkovic fully understood the concept. 😅Thankfully Kylan Boswell was there to restore order.

Illinois is a dangerous team, with plenty of offense as well as high‑major size. When you see them in person, they scare you. @IlliniMBB
Their versatility, skill, spacing, cutting, IQ, and shooting are as good as those of any team left in #MarchMadness.
