I was filming a homecoming story at Papa Del's and guess who walked in to do a pizza review. @stoolpresidente on tomorrow's Big Noon Kickoff: "It's a test of the student body whether they can be up early and ready to go..." More of what Portnoy said tonight at 6 on @WCIA3.

I’ll have a lot to say about Terry Boers the next time I’m on @thescorechicago. He meant so much to so many people and it’s an amazing legacy that people can’t help but smile when they think of you. I highly recommend a YouTube search of his name. Just nonstop laughs.

Our @_peterhanson got the inside story of how the #Illini basketball smashed guitar got framed! This was the first time Gali Meier of International Galleries in Urbana had ever framed a guitar, which was delivered by Adam Fletcher. She says the guitar arrived glued back

Made my anchor (and producer) debut on Thanksgiving! Nearly six months into full time reporting and appreciating every second.
Holiday weekend means we got to have TWO anchor desk debuts for some of our rookie reporters! @_peterhanson and Katie did so well in their first time anchoring at WCIA and I can't wait to see them continue to grow here

Kyle Hendricks, an under-the-radar prospect out of Dartmouth who developed into a World Series champion and one of the most consequential Cubs pitchers ever, is exiting the game the way he came in — with zero fanfare. https://t.co/VNiBhlrDXJ

Hendricks, who will turn 36 next month, wants to spend time at home with his family and enjoy his private life.

Unless the Cubs feel confident they can sign an ace (I doubt it), why would they get rid of one of their best pitchers and a fan favorite?
Breaking Cubs news: Lefty starter Shota Imanaga is a free agent, sources tell ESPN. The team rejected their option to extend his contract out to a fifth year. That triggered his ability to exercise a $15 million player option for 2026. He declined that as well.

Found a really cool throwback in our WCIA 3 archives tonight. Back in 2018, seventh-grader and future #Illini Kylan Boswell made a game-winning buzzer-beater to send Urbana Middle School to the state tournament. Ice water in his veins since day one 😂🔥@BamBam_Boz

This is proving to be not ideal!
The Cubs have scored 68.2% (15 of 22) of their runs via homer this #Postseason. The percentage of runs scored via homer for the 11 other teams combined is 36% (72 of 200).
