The Orange and Blue are back!!


Well it's been awhile since I have blogged on here, but I felt compelled to after watching the exciting Illinois vs Purdue basketball game tonight. What a start to the Big Ten season, an OT thriller that should propel Illinois back into the Top 25 for the first time in over 2 years. An all around good team game, led by Mike Tisdale and newcomer Alex Legion. With two Top 10 recruiting classes set to come in over the next 2 years, everyone has been saying to be patient with the team. However, starting the season at 13-1 has Illini land buzzing. Should be a great season, I will be in Champaign on the 20th to see the Illini play #23 Ohio State. Can't wait!
ESPN is reporting that the Cubs are close to trading SP Jason Marquis to the Rockies for RP Luis Vizcaino. This move would save the Cubs $6 million next year, which they hopefully would then use to go get a starting Right Fielder. Wait, why hasn't this already happened! Jim Hendry better be on his phone NOW!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas, and hope everyone has a fun New Year's Eve tomorrow night!
