My Brothers and Sisters, I stand here in the pulpit weeping at your generosity. You have viewed Ghost Preacher in the Promised Land over 1600 times. We are still approximately two to four million views short of our goal of two to four million views to catch the eyes of Marvel Studios, but we are making...

There's a great interview on Rokfin of Coach Poeta and Danny Pucino. I'm putting a link to it here (look for Ryan Warner's podcast) because Pucino mentioned both Webster and Carroll during his portion of the interview. I realize the coach can't talk about those guys until they sign a national letter...

Kannon Webster went 11-0 in Greco and Freestyle at the Junior National Duals to earn All-Tournament honors in both disciplines. That is psychedelic. ILLINOIS did pretty well in the tournament, so you know he had some tough guys to whoop. I recall seeing lots of tech falls in the box scores.

Here's how to make the IWCOA championships better than the state tournament series (and indeed better than any championship event not involving Rocky Balboa or Speed Racer):

1. Play Vision Quest nonstop on the Jumbotron. Work out a deal with a local public radio station to simulcast the...

These are exciting times! I was coming back to post exactly that. You already did.

As for attendance, I think the "build it, and they will come" meme works here. I remember when Poeta and the Tirapelles and those great teams were wrestling and challenging for podium...

Just thinking out loud here about the video of Poeta's introduction to the team as the new head coach and one of the things he said. It struck me as a good optimistic thing to say.

He said something along the lines of how the ILLINI would be challenging for championships. I thought that...

I should put this here as well,

Coach Poeta and the ILLINI staff have been busy recruiting. Sometimes they don't have to go very far. This was posted on Twitter three hours ago:



You know that Mikey Carr will have a burning desire in his heart. Congratulations to everybody involved in making this happen....

Hey old105, I haven't seen a list of reasons, but I think Poeta mentioned how ILLINOIS high school kids grow up with the goal of going to the Assembly Hall/State Farm Center. Cheers!

Holy ****!

This fellow is Andrew Howe after a laboratory accident exposed him to Gamma Rays.

Coach Poeta is on fire!

[ChiefIllini1]

Sound advice, Huff.

I didn't know it was from the same fellow who brought us Idiocracy and Beavis and Butthead. Larf!

This is not really two movie reviews. I just watched as many clips from both movies as I could on youtube. Then, because those clips created an emotional response within me, I had to let you know how I...

GHOST PREACHER

Brethren and Sistren, many are the blessings you have bestowed upon us. The video hallmarking the emergence of Ghost Preacher as the vanguard of our fight against the gun has now reached over 800 people across this great land! Take a moment to celebrate the achievements that...

[ChiefIllini1]

As usual, Huff, I think there's no simple answer that fits every person. I do believe that the D.C. gun ban did work in this instance. (Much like the Australian gun ban has worked over the last 25 years).

As for the folks involved, I would guess that a not insignificant percentage of them...

QUESTIONS FOR AMERICA

This has been puzzling me for some time. It is a mystery.

Please help me figure this out. We know that many Second Amendment hobbyists claim that they need their guns because the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots...

THE BIG PICTURE

Yes, we've had headlines about mass shootings in Miami and San Jose. But before we look at the latest numbers and all those ghastly deaths and other casualties, let's take in the big picture. What can we do? Why do we have to have mass shootings every day? Polling shows...

Counselor, your line of questioning has been brilliant:
