What up monkeys?

Thanks for stopping by.

Weekdays around 3:50, I let you know what's up in the world around us with a little something I call What's Up? You can check it out right here.
So, you know, in case you missed out at 3:50, you can always cruise by and check it out here. Plus, I try to put up more stuff here that I don't have time to get to on the air.

Make sure you check out my Blog That's Not a Blog.
I try to keep it updated at least once a week...sometimes more if I find stuff I like.

And don't forget...every weekday at 4:10 we do Bass Ackwards. Details can be found right here.
Plus there's a few other things on there as well. I should probably move some stuff around and make things make more sense...but whatever.

So there you go...check 'em out. Go...NOW!

Howdy! My name's Scott (or Scooter....don't ask) I live for Rock & Roll, my favorite bands are Led Zeppelin, Golden Earring, Nirvana & STP.....well the list is sort of endless. You'll probably find me randomly motoring the streets of Champaign-Urbana or loafing about the Parkland campus avoiding class.

If you ask me for advice, I'll tell you to take your vitamins, pretend your hilarious and always rock it 'round the clock.

Highlights from the 1920s


George Halas founded pro football and the Decatur Staley's in 1920 and set membership at $100 per club. The Staley's posted a 10-1-2 record in that inaugural season as each player earned $1,900 for the season. The Bears won their first title the next season (1921) with a 9-1-1 mark and went on to post winning records in all but one season in the entire decade (1929: 4-9-2). The first major signing took place in 1925 when the Bears signed Red Grange to a contract. Halas then took Grange and the Bears on a coast-to-coast barnstorming tour in which the club played 16 games in nine weeks. The first game of that stretch was played before 36,000 at the team's home site, Wrigley Field.

9/17/20
George Halas, representing the Decatur Staleys, meets with representatives of 12 other clubs at Ralph Hay's Hupmobile showroom in Canton, Ohio, forming the American Professional Football Association - which later became the NFL. Membership is set at $100.

1920
The Decatur Staleys shutout 10 of their 13 opponents in their first year of existence posting at 10-1-2 overall record. The team lost only once to the rival Chicago Cardinals 7-6. Each player was compensated $1,900 for the season.

1921
Decatur Staleys become Chicago Staleys, play in Wrigley Field, and win the APFA title with 9-1-1 record. A. E. Staley gives Halas the club with $5,000 to keep the Staleys name for the year. Halas makes Dutch Sternaman his partner.

1/28/22
Franchise renamed Chicago Bears.

11/27/22
First Chicago player deal: Bears buy tackle Ed Healey's contract from the Rock Island Independents for $100-twice the going rate for a franchise that season.


11/22/25
Harold "Red" Grange signs with Bears and pro football leaves its cradle. His agent C.C. (Cash & Carry) Pyle negotiates a $100,000 deal with the Bears.


11/26/25
Halas takes the Bears and Grange on a coast-to-coast tour that sees the club play 16 games from Nov. 26 through Jan. 31 interrupted only by a two-week rest. The Bears post a 11-4-1 record on the trip.

11/26/25
Grange's first game-36,000 see Bears and Cardinals go 0-0 in Wrigley Field with Grange held to 36 yards.

1/16/26
Grange gets two TDs as the Bears impress 75,000 in the LA Coliseum beating the LA Tigers 17-7.

3/1/26
Bears open offices at 111 W. Washington.

I love this radio station! I listen to it in the car, at work, and at home! I had a hard time finding a Rock station that was worth listening to. Extra 99.1 is the BEST for CLASSIC and NEW ROCK! Michelle Krout, Indiana.


You guys totally kick Ass!!!!!!!!! I’m in Danville on the weekends and when I get close enough, I’m head banging and playing air guitar to your awesome lists of songs. No doubt you my favorite radio station, the closest is 93.5 here in Lafayette, and they aren’t even close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Robert Myers

Hey, I love this radio station!!! I was wanting to hear Metallica Enter Sandman please, this is the best radio station ever!!!! Shut up and Rock!!!!!!!!!

Andrew O’banion

This is the best station I've ever heard! I had sirius radio and gave it up because you are alot better!

Sam Tolley

I think it's great that you're playing some of "today's" rock (i.e.: Nickelback, Live, etc.); which, by the way, is two of my favorites bands. How about some Creed too?

Vess Gossett

THIS IS A GREAT STATION! SOMETHING WE REALLY NEEDED.
I JUST HEARD THE BAND "DANZIG" "MOTHER". THAT IS A GREAT SONG I HAVEN'T HEARD IN YEARS. I AM GOING OUT THIS WEEKEND TO GET THAT CD. I LOVE THE SELECTIONS YOU HAVE. FROM WHITESNAKE, AC/DC, IRON MAIDEN, NAZARETH, THE TUBES TO EVEN THE BEASTIE BOYS FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PARTY AND NEW ARTISTS LIKE JET ECT ...... OTHER STATIONS DO NOT HAVE THE BALLS TO PLAY THIS ANYMORE. I AM SURE THEY THINK IT IS OUT DATED. BUT THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE LIKE US THAT GREW UP WITH THAT STYLE OF ROCK. WE THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THIS MUSIC ALIVE. OLD METAL HEADS NEVER DIE..........WE JUST SLOWLY RUST AWAY.
