- I'm riding home after another stunning day in Michigan. Twenty years after Ron Turner's big comeback against the Wolverines, @IlliniFootball has a second jaw-dropper. And a bowl bid. The #Illini players and coaches deserve it.
- Thanks to the Rouse family for helping with this story. It would have been fun to see Tommy at the #Illini game in Arizona. I'm sure he will be back at games next season at SFC. Bob Asmussen | Hats off to Illini super fan Tommy Rouse news-gazette.com/opinion/column… via @news_gazette
- My Biletnikoff semifinalist ballot will include @IlliniFootball receiver Josh Imatorbhebhe. The Southern Cal transfer should break the #Illini season TD record. Asmussen | Imatorbhebhe making name for himself in first season with Illini news-gazette.com/sports/illini-… via @news_gazette
- Great to be back covering the #Illini atthe NCAA tournament for the first time since 2006. Check out our massive coverage at IlliniHQ. @ScottRichey is killing it. In a good way.

- If Kofi Cockburn returns to the #Illini he becomes even more of a local hero. No matter what he decides, I am in his corner. Asmussen | Something to think about as Kofi ponders next move news-gazette.com/sports/asmusse… via @news_gazette
- Thanks to Lon Tay for his help with this story. He has always been a great person to deal with and practices what he preaches. @LonTayESPNCU Bob Asmussen | 'I've always looked at everybody as a friend' news-gazette.com/opinion/column… via @news_gazette
- It's weird not to see Mikey Dudek at @IlliniFootball training camp. He has moved onto his career. I hope he returns to campus often.
