I have been around for over 88 years !! I have NEVER seen the Media and NOW the Blackhawks and BULLS get on the Bandwagon as have these folks--Maybe Cuba and White Sox will join in as well !!--Absolutely THRILLING !!! THIS is what Chicago is really all about--not the other stuff !!
I am proud to be a Chicagoan--Always was and always will be. I sit here in AKRON-CLEVELAND loving it BUT it is NOT home.

Our RAMBLERS are now one of the 16 best in College Hoops !! HOW SWEET IT IS !! WE RAMBLER fans know it--NOW CHICAGO does !!

The Cubs have been all over it. Kris Bryant did a video message, and Jon Lester tweeted congratulations.

This is all really happening, right? I’m not going to wake up to this all being some sitcom dream? (Hat tip to fellow Rambler Bob Newhart)

Even Mr T is on the bandwagon:

Still basking in Rambler Glow. Walking up and down Sheridan Road, trying to catch the eye of one of the many television reporters. No luck. They are all trying to track down Sister Jean. And she moves pretty fast.
Go Ramblers!

Any comment from Bob Newhart on Loyola's success? I haven't seen anything.

What a funny man! He wasn't crazy about his accounting career. His personal motto "Close enough!" didn't cut it.

There was an obituary in Sunday's Trib for Sister Joan Newhart, BVM, Bob Newhart's sister. Interestingly, it lists him as "George Robert (Bob) Newhart".

Mr. Newhart is on twitter but only posts about once every month or two. He did "retweet" something 3 days ago, but unfortunately it was not Loyola related.
