Preview: The ILLINI vs. Creepy Purdue

[ChiefIllini1]

INTRODUCTION

Perhaps I shouldn’t go on and on about providing an Introduction and Conclusion in the ILLINI Wrestling Previews, but these pieces have been described as “works of Art” and “a little bit of Renaissance for the wrestling mat.”...

Yes, sir! I'm so pumped. The ILLINI were on today. Anybody want to do a recap? I do have to mention Danny Pucino is the real deal! A young Marianetti? Luuuuke was so perfectly solid today, and he has the motor of a 149-pounder. That's just two of the double winners....

FINAL SCORE: ILLINI 21, Wisconsin 9

LUKE ******* LUFFMAN!

GO ILLINI!!!

[ChiefIllini1]

FINAL SCORE: ILLINI 18, Ohio State 15

[ChiefIllini1]

DANNY ******* PUCINO!

No word on Duncan. Cardani was one squid flop move away from beating Heinselman, but the Buckeye came out on top.

GO ILLINI!!!

[ChiefIllini1]

The ILLINI are currently leading both OSU and Wisconsin 12-3. Great start!

Luffman with the huge upset, Brawlnagel got this revenge against Rocky Jordan, Wrobocop with the big win against Gavin Hoffman. Danny Brawlnagel wore out Ethan Smith, and Cardani with the big win over Eric Barnett....

By the time we're rid of the treasonous orange ****pudding, there will be 410,000 dead from Covid and a botched vaccine rollout. The twice-impeached warm spittoon met with the MyPillow guy yesterday and not the Covid Task Force.


DEATHS
17,729 Canada...

BREAKING NEWS: The latest information about the triangular is out, and it's pretty cool. I love how the ILLINI and the IRTC look to innovate and make things different and better. There was the "Rumble on the Rooftop" that brought wrestling back safely, then there was their decision to allow...

Read this on twitter. Thought I'd share:



This is a joke that I just wrote. It's not very good, but then again you ain't paying me for ****!

GO AMERICA!...

[ChiefIllini1]

I just checked the schedules for all three schools and BTN+ for additional information. None was available. However, it is breaking news that the meet will be streamed on BTN+, which is good news for me.

On a tangent, one of the schools used the "TBA" acronym instead...

[ChiefIllini1]

I probably should mention that the coaches in the poll might be remembering Wisconsin from last year, the team comprised of transfers Seth Gross, Johnny Sebastian and Tristan Moran, as well as another senior Cole Martin and redshirt junior Evan Wick. They're all gone, except that Gross is on the staff...

INTERMISSION

The other match on Sunday will feature the Wisconsin Badgers. In the NWCA Coaches’ Poll, the ILLINI come in at #24, while Wisconsin sits at #21. This poll is supposed to be based upon a team’s dual strength. Ohio State is up at #7. There should be...

As a Seinfeld aficionado yourself, I'm sure you recognized that particular reference from the episode entitled, The Secret Code. Kramer, in a scene reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes, attempts to deduce George Costanza's bank pin number. One of the clues is that George is "a portly fellow." C...

PREVIEW

DOUBLE FEATURE

SKYLINES & LOVE AND MONSTERS

When I rented Skylines, I didn't realize that it was the third movie in a SciFi trilogy. That's okay. It worked as a one-of.

The movie borrowed whole scenes from the more elegant Pitch Black...

INTRODUCTION

Holy Tri-Meet, Batman, when have you ever been given an "Introduction" and a "Conclusion" in a sports preview? It's like you're sitting on a toilet reading a wrestling forum, but you're actually getting The New Yorker or the Hudson...

[ChiefIllini1]

Wow! I just got to see the whole match on youtube. I don't think this fellow posting the match is affiliated with the Big Ten, but he's a hero of mine. Give him some likes:



So, some thoughts about a few of the matches and other nonessential things.

TRAVIS PIOTROWSKI...

[ChiefIllini1]

I can only comment specifically about 125 because that match is already loaded up on youtube:



So impressed with Cardani today. He wears great wrestlers out by shooting and going underneath, then holding on with a grip of steel. That final takedown was performance art, timed...

[ChiefIllini1]

A couple of amendments to the Preview given the new-to-me Hoosier lineup:

133. LUCAS BYRD vs. CAYDEN ROOKS. In looking at Rooks' freshman campaign as a starter, I had forgotten that Lucas Byrd beat him 6-2 at the MSU Open. I did remember the Hoosier putting up a good fight against Piotrowski...

[ChiefIllini1]

Nebraska over Minnesota 22-14. No Venz or Lovett for Nebraska.

[ChiefIllini1]

Thanks, eyecu2! I forgot about that. Will have to look for the results. My prediction: Michigan 26-7, and no Suriano.
