Congratulations to @ryandaytime & @OhioStateFB, they earned every inch. Proud of our entire football family for getting here - and our fans for being behind us - but just getting here isn’t the goal. If you were surprised to see us this time, don’t be next time! #GoCats

Silence at a time like this is unacceptable, and complicit, especially from those who are privileged. Racism cannot be ignored. We can be better. We MUST be better. We ALL have a responsibility if we’re going to fight systems of oppression. Listen, love, respect, act. 💜.

Les Grobstein was one of the few absolute constants in my life as a Chicago sports fan. His recall and passion for the games, players and coaches were unmatched. He was 1-of-1. RIP my friend.

We don’t give the number out in recruiting. You can’t ask for it once you’re here. You have to earn it in the eyes of your teammates by representing everything we believe in. There can be only 1️⃣. #GoCats
