***OFFICIAL*** Minnesota Vs. Illinois (GAME THREAD)

[gophergrad]

My superior taste in jerseys and helmets aside, son of a.... just when i thought the defense was player better.

 

[TLHGO4]

They look really drab and lifeless... now that you mention it maybe we should use those jerseys.

Looks like Boston College playing Syracuse.

 

[GoldenHerbs]

Why do teams even bother throwing anything under 25 yds against our D, everytime a QB air's it out the WR is wide open.

 

[thailleagle]

Man our Defense is bad...

 

[gophergrad]

The uni in your avatar are the best gophergrad.

I agree if the next coach brought those back I'd be thrilled. I just like the Wacker uni's a little too. Our current ones are just pretty meh.

Other teams should just get kids playing Madden to call their plays.

 

[Gopher_Nutz]

Nice call

 

[Ski U Mah 55]

Weird challenge.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

What can they be challenging? It was a blown call, but the whistle blew.

 

[gophergrad]

I dont understand how this play is even challengable

 

[Ski U Mah 55]

It took them that long to figure out it isn't challengable? Everyone knew that.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

Thank you incompetent BT refs!

 

[Ski U Mah 55]

Nice run Esk!

 

[thailleagle]

Is anyone really surprised?

 

[GoldenHerbs]

Nice run Deleon

 

[Ski U Mah 55]

Nice pass, too bad Weber can't do that every time.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

I just saw Burris limping. We cannot get an OL hurt...

 

[thailleagle]

Good pass!

 

[raragophers]

i cant believe what im watching right now...

 

[Stan The Caddy]

Eskridge likes playing at Illinois. He had a good game there in 2008.

 

[GoldenHerbs]

Movin the chains, nice play calling so far.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

Wow!

 

[thailleagle]

I'm trying not to get my hopes up...

 

[Ski U Mah 55]

Yay a TD to the TE who's name I cannot spell.

 

[Gopher in Dixie]

OMG, a LEAD?????????????????????? When was the last time we actually led a game?

 

[GoldenHerbs]

Ok, not to be negative but what will happen on Illinois next drive?? Kick returned for TD?? 3rd and 23 at 25 yd line, and a 55 yd completion?? Balanced drive down the field?? Or does our Defense take a stand and hold a lead going into the half?

 

[thailleagle]

MTSU?

 

[gopherphan]

MTSU?

USC, for 5 minutes real time, 10 seconds game time

 

[Gopher in Dixie]

MTSU?

If that's true, it's sad and I was at that game.
