34 years ago today my heart skipped a beat...well, hundreds of beats...as our Redbirds, in Long Beach CA, dang near knocked off the defending national champions. Our very own Jon BigPemp Pemberton (also known as Jon Pembrook😉) snatched 11 rebounds (and 9 pts) in 22 minutes...against a freaky...

First, forgive my rambling. Next, take this link with a grain of salt. I don't know about classes - I haven't asked. Don't even really care. I cannot imagine a better NIL setup, profit-wise...
I got word that Becky Short passed away in last few weeks. 30-plus years in the ticket office, so many here were probably at least acquainted with her. RIP, Becky.
Star basketball player brings loaded weapon to the scene, with a teammate in tow...hands it off, and the receiver proceeds to let fly with bullets...killing a young woman right then and there, and injuring another target while putting a big smiley face of bullets into the target car.
Roll Tide...
Starts in 2023, 7 yr deal.
"The Big Ten is projected to eventually distribute $80 million to $100 million per year to each of its 16 members."
That's alot of Benjamins...and a Sears Tower size hurdle for a school like ISU to overcome and be competitive.

Taylor? Ohhh Taylor?? :whistle:
0.17 ERA his senior year of high school. (Small school competition, granted) But good enough for top 10 all-time in Illinois high school history.
I'm going to start this in basketball and (hopefully it gets rolling...or maybe it won't) then maybe Quinn can move it to off-topic.
Sincere question, no games, no politics, no ripping on each other...just perspective. Tell me your 9-11 experience. I'm curious if anyone was there or knew...
If the Chastain thread was removed, why is the "Copeland/Hein out 2019" thread still in play?
The objection seemed to be the title thread. The Copeland/Hein title is clearly not accurate, even if Grandma Copeland is still upset with Dan. #ThanksMuller Hek, half of what we talk about here is...
So the little weiner dogs are at Kentucky tomorrow night. Very intrigued with this game, and I half expect SIU to keep it reasonable (perhaps similar to our game there). Interested, though, because it'll give us a little peek into the strength of The Valley.

Excellent article on Thielen and his come-about...and why some of our boys in individual Red do have a legitimate shot - with some prayers, right timing, and an agent in...

Just curious. Any word on his development? He's still listed on the roster.
Just once this year...just once...I gotta hear his name over the P.A. If he's half a player, he'll be the most popular football player we've ever had.
If i were that kid i would grab trademark rights on anything...
