Report Card: Illinois Fighting Illini 24, Huskers 13

First up: an admission. I didn’t watch this game live, as I was watching my son’s team in the state quarterfinals. Millard North beat Omaha North 21-0, setting up a rematch next week against Millard South in a game that will feature three Nebraska recruits. And for my money, Millard North’s Tory Pittman III is the best player in the state. I’m not a recruitnik, so I don’t know how this translates to the next level. I just know he makes plays no one else in this state can, at least that I’ve seen thus far.

That high school game didn’t stop me from periodically checking Twitter (Not sorry, Elon. I’m going to continue calling it Twitter.) for updates.
