Bennie Bishop sighting at WVU vs Penn State

 

[upnorthkid]

well half a quarter in and UNC looks to be the same team they were last year

A middling defense with a productive QB on offense. UNC is interesting to watch for obvious reasons -- Gophers play UNC -- and rumors that UNC is headed to the Big Ten.

Drake Maye is awfully good.

 

[gophereric30]

EMU with two kick return TDs so far. That's troubling.

Ill take my chances they wont run one back next week!

Illini look to be having their hands full with Toledo. Always fun to see how the chips fall as you go through week 1, especially after a win over a P5, divisional opponent even if it looks ugly

Toledo is always good for an upset

 

[upnorthkid]

right on down the field for SCarolina and into the lead

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Has anyone ever had Duke’s mayonnaise?

What’s the scouting report?

 

[Spaulding!No!]

It is almost Jerry Lol vs western IL time!!!!

 

[SHGopher]

Illinois was favored by 9 points over Toledo.

Now halftime.

 

[SHGopher]

#7 Penn State was favored by 21 points over West Virginia.

Now halftime.

Aggie Vision?

 

[SHGopher]

Michigan beat East Carolina 30-3.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Houston is wearing these Oilers-like unis tonight. Sick.

This is why I hate preseason rankings. #25 Iowa beats a G5 by 10 and #19 Wisconsin will most likely beat another and they’ll both move up in the rankings. Minnesota beats a P5 team and will not move an inch.

It’s not just about winning —it’s how you played in your win

this. we will all "move up" provided you keep winning. Same as the gophers will move up relative to others around them who lost

Not so much if you’re already ranked.

 

[JPM Gopher]

Impressive 2nd half opening drive results in a TD

Toledo up 19-7

 

[btowngopher]

Had no idea that Ky Thomas is now at Kent State with Kenni Burns

Doesn’t look like he played, maybe sitting out the year?

 

[btowngopher]

Toledo up 19-7

Big hole for Illinois considering how they’ve struggled offensively.

 

[gopher7]

Oops

One of the things I love about college football.

 

[JPM Gopher]

He has to sit out

 

[btowngopher]

Pick 6 helps.

 

[JPM Gopher]

Toledo with a pick followed by a pick 6 by Illinois

Good game to watch

Why is everyone taking up the Tez Walker eligibility cause? Tons of players are denied every year.

Maybe just the game we are watching right now, and they are talking about it a lot. Something about he didn't play last year... I'm not paying as much attention.

 

[Rowthatboat]

Not so much if you’re already ranked.

There’s a lot of ranked teams that won today that should move down —the way they played —rankings should not just be based on wins —but I know that it does —but it shouldn’t

 

[Unregistered User]

Gaa! I thought we had been freed of Matt Millen. Damn, he ruins games.

 

[SHGopher]

ESPN could carry the UNC and Minnesota game in two weeks, this suggests. Let's hope the Gophers look exciting against Eastern Michigan to set up a prime time game. UNC looks interesting tonight.
