Big Ten Media Days, Whitman Extension, Bret Bielema & Illini Football Buzz 7.24.26

Every team, every topic, everywhere.

This is Believe.

Broadcasting from Aledo to Alton, Champaign to Chicago, and Robinson to Rockford, this is the Sports Spectacular, your home for everything Illini sports, powered by IlliniGuys.com.

Hard to believe that this is the last full weekend of July.

I'm glad you're spending part of it with us.

We're the Illini guys, Larry Smith, Mike Higley, Brad Sturdy.

We've got Matt Stevens come up here in just a moment talking about a little Illini football.

Also, we'll step outside the world of the orange and blue because in Chicago this weekend, you'll see a lot of really tall women walking around.

It's the WNBA All-Star Game.

Festivities Friday night at Wintrust Arena, which is where the Chicago Sky play.

There by McCormick Place downtown.

But the actual game itself will be played at the Bulls Arena, the United Center on the city's west side.

So we'll talk about Isabel about that and much more.

But let's start football.
