We've got a whole two days to go before Vanderbilt shows up in Illinois to squash some Champaign wishes and caviar dreams.  How to fill it?  Besides with drinking...

Well, how about perusing the domain of the young'ns and see what Twitter can tell us?

First Bit of 140 Character Newz:

Much. More. Prestigious.

They're both up for the Golden Spikes Award, as well.

See?
