Billy Spassov Is an Avenger!

 



Congratulations to Billy Spassov, his family, friends, teammates, coaches, club team and the ILLINI coaching staff! As the shirt in the image above implies, Billy wrestled at Hersey High School in Arlington Heights. His club team was Izzy Style.

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?

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 ...
