Bummer as it's a game it would sure be nice to see Iowa trip up in.

Pulled a hammy trying to tie his shoes he couldn’t see over his beer gut?

Maybe he will live tweet during the game. That would be fun.

Should be a good game.

Joking aside, COVID is not something Bielema wants to be dealing with in his current physical condition. Obesity is a huge risk factor.

 

[Replacement Gopher]

Not sure I can get behind making fun of the guy. He owns us. I partly wish he was out coach.

Yeah, he would definitely seem to fall in the higher risk class.

As for the game, I highly doubt his not being there will have a massive impact. I am sure he will figure out someway to stay in contact with the sidelines.

Iowa did lose their last game they played against a team that was without their HC due to Covid

We have never beaten Bielama. Illinois might start a winning run like Iowa’s if we aren’t careful.

Correct. Hopefully he recovers

Iowa fan here. Iowa lost to Purdue without Brohm last year and BB absolutely has Iowas number. I wouldn’t give up on this one yet. Also Iowa is straight trash when they’re 10-13 pt favorites.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Hopefully he recovers quickly. Don’t want to see anyone ill.

Biels is a walking comorbidity. I hope he is OK

Right here dude. He is a good coach and we would be lucky to have him. Cut him down all you want, he has never lost to us. Illinois will be a factor in the west starting in 23

Something I found unique, kickoff was 1pm. I wonder when last Big 10 game was played in that window?

I live in the TC.. really like PJ and what the Gophs are doing overall. Just thought I’d stop in.

We are just smarting from another IO. loss. Thanks for the positive comments.

Haha it’s ok I expect it coming to opponents message board. I get the frustration is probably there but big picture PJ is great for the program and can create a serious sustainability this city has needed for the Gophs!
