matt.wall — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 06:41:29 +0000

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!!!!

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!

Block I Tailgate!!!

joe.hanley — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:50:11 +0000

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!

Where?: 1st and Kirby by the Gameday tent

When?: Saturday October 31st, 11am

Why?: FREE food! Costume Contest with a chance to win an autographed poster!

Block I Pep Rally!!!

joe.hanley — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 16:33:03 +0000

HEY BLOCK!!!

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!

WEEKLY ROADTRIP POINTS

joe.hanley — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:26:39 +0000

HEY BLOCK-

So as you all know our team is not playing up to par right now, and you may be asking yourself “Why should I go to Block-I Roadtrip Point events when our team is playing so poorly?” Well let me remind you that the 2009 ROADTRIP TO MINNESOTA ON NOV. 7th IS COMPLETELY FREE AND ROADTRIPS WITH 100 ILLINI FANS ARE ALWAYS A TON OF FUN!!!!! Not to mention when you come to events you get to see other Fighting Illini Sports compete and win!! So now that we have that out of the way let me tell you where you can get your 2 points this week…

1) Thursday, October 22nd at 6pm the Illinois Soccer team will be hosting THE Ohio State University at the Illinois Track and Soccer Stadium. The team is coming off of a 3-1 road victory against the Iowa and are excited about returning home to take on the Buckeyes. So come out, sit behind the opposing teams goalie, and cheer the Illini Soccer team on to victory.

2) Saturday, October 24th at 12pm is your second opportunity to get a ROADTRIP POINT at the Illini Swimming and Diving “Splash Bash” meet. This is a new sport for Illini Pride this year and we hope all of you will come out and support the team and represent IP! The meet takes place at the ARC and you will need both your student i.d. and your Illini Pride card. We do realize that this is at the same time as the football game and it is this way because we had scheduled it for a roadtrip point long before we knew the time of the football game. HOWEVER, since the football game is going on at the same time, it WILL be projected on a big screen at the ARC, and there will be a room where you can hear commentary at the same time as you watch Splash Bash. We think this is the fairest way to work out this event since we had scheduled it far in advance. Sorry for any inconveniences this may cause you.

That is all of the events we have this week. Again the remaining tshirts are in the Illini Pride cubicle located on the second floor of the quad side of the Illinois Union. You can pick them up during the times listed on www.illinipride.com/cube. If you have any questions/comments/concerns please let us know. Thanks! and GO ILLINI!!!!!

Block I Roadtrip Point!

joe.hanley — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:39:22 +0000

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!
