ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted November 24, 2024 Posted November 24, 2024 WHO: The ILLINI v. University of North Carolina WHAT: Away Dual in North Carolina WHEN: Monday, November 25 at 6:00 pm (Central) WHERE: Chapel Hill, North Carolina TV/STREAMING: ACCNX THE GOOD NEWS / BAD NEWS The good news is that the ILLINI have an excellent opportunity to leave this dual 5-0. The bad news is that most ILLINI fans won't get to see it. The dual will be broadcast on ACCNX. You can find the match listed on the ESPN.com and ESPN+.com schedule: Once you click on the event you want to see, though, a screen will come up that looks like this: After clicking on your provider, you will be greeted with a page from your provider with a request for your email or username and password and so on. There are other providers, but they're all small cable companies in states where you are mandated by law to marry your cousin if'n you ain't already married to your sister. If you have one of the providers in the image above, we would suggest that you test the set-up process by clicking on a live event or a replay from their schedule and going through the enrollment process before the match starts. WHY WE HATE NORTH CAROLINA They use a mustard-based bbq sauce. It's insane yet worse than it sounds. The finished product looks like what you'd see during an Exorcism. This, alone, is reason enough for the United States to secede from the Tar Heel State. A DAY IN HISTORY On January 13, 2007, the number one song on the Billboard charts was Irreplaceable by Beyoncé. The number one digital song was Fergilicious by Fergie featuring will.i.am. At the box office, the top grossing move was Stomp the Yard. The advertising blurb written by the marketing gurus at Sony Pictures read like this: "When his brother is murdered, a street dancer moves to Georgia to work his way through college. He joins a fraternity's step dancing team for a competition. Will he also get an education and the girl?" It worked! On Saturday, January 13, 2007, that movie sold $8,541,104 worth of tickets. But for real entertainment that day, you had to be in College Park, Maryland to witness the Fighting ILLINI take on the University of North Carolina. The only ILLINI wrestler who didn't win that day eventually became an All American: ILLINOIS 32, North Carolina 3 125: #8 Gabe Flores dec.

I used to cycle with one of his high school classmates. Finishing his PhD at that time, great athlete, now on faculty at Princeton Aero Eng. Yes smart & fast. If you interview Mike ask him about Roger's knee. 1 .
