Think you have a busy Thanksgiving week? My guess is BRIAN BARNHART has you beat.

The Voice of the Illini and host of "Penny For Your Thoughts" on WDWS will call two football games and five basketball games in 11 days.

Oh, yeah: He will also be traveling across multiple time zones.

The broadcasting binge starts Saturday afternoon, when Barnhart calls the Illinois-Iowa football game at Memorial Stadium. At 6 p.m. or so, he will jump in a rental car and zip to the O'Hare Hilton. On Sunday moring, Barnhart and producer ED BOND will board a flight bound for Los Angeles, then continue on to Hawaii for three Illini basketball games at the Maui Invitational.
