Thanks @IWUhoopscom. Surfer vibe is my favorite vibe @SportTheory101. Will inquire about the scrimmage. Could always use another expert on the broadcast if you can find a flight into Bloomington.
Happy birthday to the voice of the Titans, @EricWGLT!! [Please disregard the surfer vibe Sikma fan in this pic.] #d3hoops https://t.co/zE0ephcI2l
Hundreds of Normal Community H.S. students took part in the national school walkout to call for stronger gun safety laws. Several students said they are especially concerned about going to college in other states were gun laws are more lax. Story soon at https://t.co/3IRWrVg9uI. https://t.co/vMnzgod8zs
.@cityblm numbers are final. John Wyatt Danenberger defeated Steven Nalefski with about 55% of the vote, a 157 vote margin. Danenberger commended Nalefski on a ‘congenial’ campaign and says he was a community asset and hopes they can be ‘thought partners’ on projects. #WGLTvote https://t.co/U9JCY0RD2x
