A friend sent me a text asking where the Collin Dixon catch ranks among great Illini catches of the last 50 years. Here's my answer - I put together a top five and then a bunch of honorable mentions. Article is unlocked. illiniboard.com/one-question…

Last night, Michael Stipe sang R.E.M.’s “E-Bow The Letter” and his Big Red Machine collab “No Time For Love Like Now” with the National’s Matt Berninger and Aaron and Bryce Dessner. It was part of AB100, a two-day festival celebrating the Dessners’ 50th birthday in the Basque region. Stipe hadn’t performed “E-Bow,” originally recorded with Patti Smith, in 17 years. Last week he said his long-awaited debut solo album will come in 2027, with the first single dropping minutes into the new year.
