Hey Illini Pride!
Orange Krush Registration for the 2010-2011 basketball season is officially open! To register for Orange Krush, or to correct and/or add pledges, click here. You will need your NetID and password to log in to the registration website.
The Registration Website will remain open until 11:59 p.m. on September 15, 2010. With such a large window of time to register for Orange Krush, you should be able to contact all of your donors and enter all pledges BEFORE school starts. If you do, that will be one less thing to worry about during the school year!
There are a couple important changes to the website that you should be aware of:
-DO NOT COLLECT CASH or CHECKS FROM FLAT PLEDGE DONORS. Instead, ask for their name, address, and pledge amount. The Orange Krush Foundation will send them a bill for their pledge at the end of basketball season. Let us do the work for you!
-You may no longer order Break and Specialty game tickets through the website. After September 15, we will e-mail a Break and Specialty game ticket order form to all Krush members. If you are interested in purchasing Break or Specialty game tickets, you must bring this order form AND payment to one of our collection dates (Place and Time: TBA).
-As of right now, you should not have your new Illini Pride Membership Number for the 2010-2011 school year. Enter “0000″ for your Illini Pride Membership Number. Remember to sign up for Illini Pride when school starts. All Krush members MUST be members of Illini Pride.

This is the weekend you’ve all been waiting for. This
Saturday is the only DUAL meet for the Men’s and
Women’s gymnastics teams! Both teams will flip off
against their rivals at 2 PM at Huff Hall. The #4
Men’s team have been waiting all season to knock
off #3 Michigan. The #13 Women’s Team will also
take on #18 Mizzou. This meet is also the GYM JAM
Promotion. Starting at 1:00, there will be free food
for the first 1,000 fans! The FLIP CREW will also
be there with the prize wheel, so everyone who
comes can win a prize. As always, there will be
candy for everyone to eat during the meet. If you
haven’t earned your authentic 2010 FLIP CREW
shirt yet, there are still some available. Anyone who
doesn’t already have one can just come to this meet
to get it. Also, the FLIP CREW will be giving away
great prizes for the 20 top attendees for the season.
It’s still very possible to get one of these prizes if
you come to GYM JAM 2010!!!!
Hey Block!
Even though the roadtrip is over, there are still plenty of reasons to come out to the tailgate this week. We will be having FREE Panera Bagels this week. The tailgate will start at 9:30 am, in our normal tailgate spot (by the gameday tent at the corner of 1st and Kirby). Your Dad’s are more than welcome to come and join us and are also welcome to the Panera Bagels. SO make sure to come out for FREE food, fun times, and of course friendly people!
HEY BLOCK!!!
The weekly tailgate will be before the game at 11 am. As always, we will have burgers, hot dogs, chips, drinks, and all that jazz, but this week is special. Since Saturday is Halloween, we will be having a COSTUME CONTEST at our tailgate! We encourage everyone to come dressed up in their best Halloween costume! Have fun with this! We will be giving away TWO AUTOGRAPHED POSTERS to the two best costumes that we see! We will be in our usual tailgate spot near the corner of 1st and Kirby by the Gameday Tent. Look for the Blockheads and their jerseys!

We realize the team is not doing as good as we all hoped for, but we need to support them through thick an thin (no matter how thin). This is the time of the year where roadtrip points really start to matter and add up, so make sure to come get all the points you can possibly get! REMEMBER, this trip is completely FREE for you!!!
The opportunity will be this Thursday, October 29th. We will be holding a pep rally on the East side of the stadium by the practice fields at 5:30. This is a tremendous opportunity as football practices are closed to the public! As if that isn’t enough of a reason to come out, we will also be raffling off a poster signed by members of the team! There will of course be FREE pizza, chips, and pop while we watch the scrimmage. Lastly, we will be playing football ON ZUPPKE FIELD after the pep rally. We have done this in the past, and it is always a lot of fun. So make sure to come out, get some free food, and support our FIGHTING ILLINI!
What?: Pep Rally!
When?: Thursday, October 29, 5:30 pm.
Where?: East side of Memorial Stadium by the practice fields
Why?: FREE food! Chance at an autographed poster! Watch the team practice (normally closed to the public)! Play football in Memorial Stadium afterwards!

Hey Block!
This Friday is Spike the Record at Assembly Hall! For those of you that don’t know, this event has the #10 ranked Illinois Fighting Illini taking on the #6 Minnesota Golden Gophers at 6:30. After the volleyball game, the Illinois Basketball team will have their Illini Madness event! You will HAVE to be in attendance at the volleyball game in order to witness Illini madness. This should be an awesome event, and on top of all that, Block I will be giving away a roadtrip point!
HEY BLOCK!-
Because of homecoming this week, there will be no pep rally or tailgate. With that being said, don’t think that there are no opportunities to get roadtrip points this week! The first roadtrip opportunity will be on gameday at approximately 8:45 for Illini Walk. Illini Walk takes place on the drive that goes in between the stadium and the ARC. If you are there, you will get a roadtrip point!! The second opportunity will be the next day (Sunday) at the soccer game. The game is at 1 o’clock and will be at Illinois Track and Soccer Stadium. The girls take on Big Ten conference rival Wisconsin. The games are always a lot of fun, and if that isn’t enough to get you out there, a roadtrip point should! This is the time of the year when roadtrip points really start to add up and they become really important (Remember the roadtrip is FREE to you and is always a lot of fun!!!)
