@BTNDaveRevsine @news_gazette The reporter’s notebooks plus random scraps of paper Tate has filled with notes, his own unique game play-by-play system and post-game scribbles could cover the floor of both Memorial Stadium/State Farm Center a foot deep. What a guy!
Lex Tate retweeted
Finally – always fun to spend time with the great Loren Tate. Today was the 60th anniversary of his first @news_gazette story & he’s still out there taking notes (noticed him jotting down a depth chart), writing columns & hosting radio shows. He’ll be 95 in Nov. Man is amazing.
@TheWCS And now there’ll be a threat to the seabirds. Fewer eggs, fewer birds.

Still putting in work at 94 🤯 Loren Tate is a media LEGEND who still does 4+ radio shows and a column every week 🎙️ He's covered @IlliniMBB for 60 years for the @news_gazette and added another Final Four to his resume this weekend 🙌 He spoke with @BTNDaveRevsine in Indy:
@phillipstribune @phillips2 3 or just Michael Phillips movie man
@H_Singh1708 @GovPressOffice Better looking king
@iAnonPatriot It was a throwaway line; no advance knowledge that the pair were, allegedly, cheaters. Suit is silly.
@rshereme Merci beaucoup from American Midwest lovers of freedom.
@SLGreenberg The Tate fam is proud of the old guy. Thanks for capturing him.
@Matt_Brickman Matt: You can’t live in NY w/o seeing and understanding the positive and negative impacts of Moses. It’s my major pandemic read; both are still not finished. Loving it, though. (The book, I mean.)
@thehill Dangerous and ignorant of the constitution. What a combo.

Sat next to @IlliniAthletics royalty tonight: 91-year old Loren Tate, still going strong for Champaign News-Gazette (since 1966!!) and local radio. @IlliniMBB @BigTenNetwork @MarchMadnessMBB.
@TheAndyKatz @IlliniAthletics @IlliniMBB @BigTenNetwork @MarchMadnessMBB Two lucky guys!

The Atlantic did not publish a headline calling Biden’s fall from his bike in June 2022 ‘heroic.’ The image circulating online is fabricated reut.rs/3O5g945
