The heavy snow expected in central Illinois Saturday is causing the postponement of the large class high school state championships at Illinois State’s Hancock Stadium. It’s the first weather-related postponement in the 51-year history of the IHSA state football finals.

I’m really surprised at the unnecessary effort FELOTUS and his people are putting in to explain/justify this “quiet piggy” remark. I guess none of them are smart enough to say the “genius” was just trying to shush a reporter he thought was named Peggy.

Happy 86th birthday to Dave Giusti, who spent 1 of his 15 years with the #stlcards. He may be the only player to be traded for TWICE by one team in the same off-season without being traded away.
(10/11/68): Traded by the Astros to the Cardinals.
(12/3/68): Traded by the Padres to the Cardinals
