HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE NORTHWESTERN DUAL ILLINOIS VERSUS IOWA WHAT: ILLINI Wrestling Dual Against Stupid Iowa WHEN: Friday, January 17 at 6:00 pm Central WHERE: Stupid Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Stupid Iowa City TV/STREAMING: BTN A DAY IN HISTORY It is January 28, 2005.  This is possibly the worst weekend in movie history as the top two at the box office are Hide and Seek and Are We There Yet? It's not much better on the radio with two top ten songs by Destiny's Child, Mario holding down the #1 spot and Nelly featuring Tim McGraw in the top ten.  You've just thrown your boombox off the top of Starved Rock State Park into the ILLINOIS River.  Your little Sister wants you to play the new Bratz video game that features the  Bratz dolls traveling to London where they form a Spice-Girls-like band. You play for five minutes.  And now you've just thrown the video game and your sister's Game Boy Advance over the cliff at Starved Rock State Park.  You're finally on ...

RECAP OF ILLINI v. Purdue

  MILITARY APPRECIATION DAY As it was Military Appreciation Day, the ILLINI bench wore Army-looking shirts, they had ROTC guys doing a pushup contest (If you've ever been in the Army, you'd know that they get quite enough of those ... in the Army!), and best of all, a video message from ILLINI 197 pounder and Engineer currently stationed in the Middle East, JOE JOE BRAUNAGEL: THE VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS THE RECAP The ILLINI zoomed past the thirty-point mark for the seventh time this season. Their record improves to 9-3. They have scored 279 total team points for a 23.25 average dual score. Their opponents have scored 139 team points for an average dual score of 11.58. That's more than doubling up the opposition. The official recap states that #13 ILLINOIS Wrestling Steamrolled #27 Purdue. Get it? Boilers? Steam? Anyway, we think that the team from Indiana got SteamPunked. There were lots of bonus points with Lucas Byrd, Danny Pucino and Kannon Webster earning tech falls.  Braeden ...

PREVIEW: The ILLINI versus OSU

  WHAT: ILLINI vs. Ohio State Wrestling Dual WHEN: Friday, January 10 at 7:00 pm (Central) WHERE:  Huff Hall, Champaign, ILLINOIS TV/STREAMING: BTN+ (subscription service) SPECIAL: It is an "Orange Out." Wear Orange. TICKETS:  Admission is FREE! Question: Who is this? Answer: ESIW NHOJ NACIREMA LLA A DAY IN HISTORY It is February 18, 2007.  Beyoncé and Nelly Furtado are #1 and #2 on the Hot 100 Billboard charts. Ghost Rider is raking in the dough as the #1 box office hit, but theater audiences are leaving unimpressed. It has a 28% on the Tomatometer at Rotten Tomatoes.  The folks at home aren't doing much better. Your stupid little sister just got a video game called Karaoke Revolution: American Idol. That's right, a guitar hero for bad voices and terrible songs.  It is worse than you thought imaginable.  Have no fear! The entertainment and drama are happening right now in Huff Hall, as the 6th-ranked ILLINI seek to add another victory to their n...
