As I count down to the start of the #Illini season in 98 days, it is good to know the College Football Playoff is more in order. Will Illinoi make it? Can't Wait For Saturday | Again, why did it take so long to get to a 12-team playoff? https://t.co/xzrNRsMMt8 via @news_gazette
Always great to catch up with former #Illini receiver Chris James, now doing a stellar job as coach at his alma mater Morgan Park. He had plenty to say about Nasir Rankin. Bob Asmussen | 'It's like a college coach built him in a lab' https://t.co/4pVtaByTKt via @news_gazette
