Thanks for doing this! May I consider you the official Chili Poll person? I don't want to step on toes. We are undefeated when you do it.Your weekly gauge of Gopher rooting interest has no bye week!
Keep those fan fires burning!
Illinois game will potentially be huge for the West. I am glad we have the bye week to prepare and I am also glad the game is on the road which seems like an odd thing to say. But we are a really good road team under Fleck and Champaign isn't exactly one of the toughest environments to go into.This one stung. A lot!! Seeing the fans coming out of the game, they were very quiet -- but not nearly as bad as after the Michigan debacle 15 years ago. This is a good week for a bye week -- get Mo healed up again and the heads screwed on right to make a run down the stretch.
That Illinois game will be very tough and I am very glad we do not have to play them this week as we are just reeling after the loss to Purdue. You can tell just from the posts on the Gopherhole that one knocked the wind right out of the sails. We aren't going to have the great season everyone hoped but we can still have a very good one and still win the West.
Right now, Illinois is the team to beat for the West, especially if they beat Iowa -- we really need that one bad.
Funny, I was thinking I might drop down to regular beef stew this week (comfort food). I am thinking that by next Saturday my Gophers will be back. We are playing the fighting Bielemas, so next week my chili will be hot.Learned last week to not make my chili that hot, only ends up painful.
Likely no chili rest of year, but if so, it won’t be that hot again.
Last year alone should have this team white hot fired up and laser focused in practice. Knowing that they can take the lead in the west should really get them amped!This one stung. A lot!!

Like beans. Agree on the rest, I just like to fart so need some ammo.
Brewster deserves it. What a tool.Funny, I was thinking I might drop down to regular beef stew this week (comfort food). I am thinking that by next Saturday my Gophers will be back. We are playing the fighting Bielemas, so next week my chili will be hot.
Never forget why we "hate" this guy.
I don’t consider that Purdue team a worthy opponent. The game was eminently winnable. The chili is on the backburner, but the Vikings bore me to tears.… a mid season loss to a worthy opponent …
Did the Gopher players? I get it that Brewster took the job too early, but sportsmanship is about the players. Now that we know that Bielema was/ is about embarrassing, give him a taste.Brewster deserves it. What a tool.
They are division one athletes and I think they can take it. Huge blowouts in college all the time and all Brewster and the media did in that game was draw more attention to it. If the gophers win 55-0 are we going to feel bad? Middle school or high school i say let up but college d1 if you don’t like getting stomped play better. We got beat by rosemont 15-0 in hockey at mariucci arena when I was 13 and I was in goal even. Believe or not I was able to continue on. Let’s toughen up a littleDid the Gopher players?

It wasn't so much about what he did for me personally. It was about his BS answer! If you are going to do it, do it Woody Hayes style.
