The First Post

Welcome to Illiniwek's TeePee.

If you haven't figured it out yet - I am an Illinois grad. While I will try to keep my biases limited I will provide - in the interest of full disclosure - that I am an unabashed fan of the Chicago Bears, Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees, Chicago Bulls, Detroit Red Wings, Carolina Hurricanes and all that is University of Illinois and Big 10.

My main focus for this blog is to present opinion on the top national stories, as well as opinion for items related to my teams. Since moving to North Carolina a few years back you will also see commentary regarding sports items local to Raleigh/Durham, primarily ACC sports.

With all of that being said, this blog will not be a "fan site", in that, I won't solely be focusing on teams that interest me, but at the same time, there may be posts that only focus on those teams. Hell, there will more than likely be a post regarding current events outside of the sports world as well. Who knows?

My goal is to try to post everyday, even multiple times a day if possible, to try to stay on top of as many top stories as possible. I'll even throw in some sarcasm and humor from time to time to keep things lively.

So, thanks for checking it out and stop by often and leave comments as I begin this new venture.
