Support Your ILLINI Wrestler NIL Store


THE ILLINI NIL STORES

If you're like me, you wear shirts. So why not wear a Lucas Byrd or Braunagel Brothers shirt? Duh! These shirts are similar to other shirts, as they come complete with a neck hole and two arm holes--but they have something that other shirts don't have: Byrd or Braunagel stuff on them. That makes them ultra shirts! 

Good luck finding these beauties at Walmart. 


THE LUCAS BYRD STORE

Two-time All American Lucas Byrd has teamed up with Chain Wrestling to provide fine "Byrd is the Wyrd" merch for the discerning human. You can find the Lucas Byrd Collection at this link. His store looks like this (note that the shirts have arm holes and neck holes just as I promised):





And don't forget to check out page two of Lucas' store, where you can find cool socks, a cellphone case and a HIMARS system:




The M142 High Mobility BYRD Artillery Rocket System (HIMBARS) is a light multiple rocket launcher developed in the late 1990s for the United States Army and mounted on a standard United States Army M1140 Byrd is the Wyrd truck frame. The M142 carries one pod with either six GMLRS rockets or one ATACMS missile. WARNING: Not for home use!  


THE BRAUNAGEL BROTHERS STORE


Before you put Mom's credit card back in her purse, be sure to stop at the Braunagel Brothers' store. Both of the Brawlnagels were Honorable Mention All Americans in 2020. The brothers have partnered with Plug T-Shirt to offer a wide variety of clothing items:



No bullshit: Those wrestling shoes look awesome. I wish they were available in 1984. Remember kids, badgering your parents for cool wrestling gear is like wrestling. You have to be relentless. Mom can say no twenty times, but you win if she says yes once. 


COMING SOON: THE LUKE LUFFMAN STORE


Every kid in ILLINOIS will want their own Luuuuke stuff. Well, the big guy has inked a deal with Campus Ink and the NIL Store. He just needs to fill his shelves with product. 


We can't wait! 




A MESSAGE FOR RECRUITS


The ILLINI have NIL opportunities aplenty. You can brand yourself, sell merch and retire to the Caribbean. Maybe the Cayman Islands. But there's more:




That's right. You can make $$$ just by reading stuff and answering questions. You don't have to paint houses or change tires or mow lawns. Just read stuff. Then, prove that you read the stuff by answering a few questions. Over five years, that's very close to $30,000.00.  GO ILLINI!!!

ILLINI Wrestle-off Results, Seth Mendoza and Baby Wrestlers!

Image
THE REASON FOR THE WRESTLE-OFFS The ILLINI had their first wrestle-off in years yesterday at Huff Hall. The likely reasons for this are discussed in a preceding post here . The long and short of it is that the Brawlnagels are likely going to use the Olympic Redshirts that they earned over the Summer. Additionally, 2xAA Lucas Byrd is still injured.  In fact, Byrd is the Wyrd was at Super 32.  What a great ambassador for the ILLINI! He's instantly recognizable and relatable and fun and you can bet the kids love him. Since the image below was on IMAR's instagram account, can we assume that he led this expedition?  RESULTS OF THE WRESTLE-OFFS We don't have the full results for the wrestle-offs but were told that the ultimate winners included the following: Justin Cardani at 125; it was reported that Anthony Madrigal looked great, and that Kole Brower looked tough, but it was Madrigal who came out on top for the 133 spot.  Danny Pucino won; while Kannon Webster beat Jake Harrier

Clues to the 2023-2024 Fighting ILLINI Lineup? And Wrestle-Offs!

Image
We found a clue to this season's Fighting ILLINI lineup at Trackwrestling. That organization keeps records on who on the various NCAA teams has certified at the various weights. Because this is the first cert of the year, most of the guys are above their likely weights that they will end up wrestling.  Most significantly, though, there were some omissions from the certification process. Will these omissions mean that the individuals won't wrestle during the season? Hmmmm. We will be interviewing Coach Poeta before the season starts so we'll have a better idea about what's going on.  In the meantime, who is missing from this Trackwrestling list : If you said Zac and Danny Braunagel, you win! Additionally, Lucas Byrd is not listed as "eligible," whatever that means. I had thought that the Braunagels would think about an Olympic redshirt, as they qualified through the USA Wrestling national tournament process.  As for Lucas Byrd, the last picture I saw of him sho
