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!!!!!
