I get that, but this just feels different. Maybe I’m drinking fleck’s kool aid, but there is a ton more talent on this gophers team than in years past, and given flecks track record I think this team can buck that trendSergeant Rubetube wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2019 6:08 pm I'll get excited when they actually beat someone worth a turd.
Any time this program wins it's good but I have seen too many seasons where they start like this and get blown out by a team that is good.
Haven't they been favored in every game? That should tell you all you need to know about their opponents so far.
Good job beating who you are supposed to though. That has even been a feat for this team in recent years.

Re: Homecoming Illini vs Gophers
Dude, you don't need to explain yourself to the Village Idiot. For Fuck sakes he things our QB sucks. You know, the one who is in the top 5 in FBS in pass efficiency. That's ok, he also thinks Kirk Cousins is great and that Demry Croft "is a superstar".SKOLMN wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2019 6:32 pmI get that, but this just feels different.

Re: Homecoming Illini vs Gophers
It's just a different team with Brooks and Smith healthy. Smith hadn't looked 100% before today. And it's a good thing, because if you saw Ibrahim pregame, he's hurt way worse than they have let on.

Re: Homecoming Illini vs Gophers
You or someone said Smith just was out of sync earlier (again, traveling so much I haven't seen nearly as much as i normally do prior to this week) - timing off, misreading holes etc. I think that was correct as he simply looked sharp and decisive today. I love watching him and Brooks.
We may have a chance to surprise some teams. I'm going to Nebraska game next week - should be fun.

Re: Homecoming Illini vs Gophers
Great to see the running game live up to our expectations. Matt Millen is still awful to listen to.

If Brooks and Smith can stay healthy maybe redshirt Ibrahim?

Feek is an elite Gopher mind, so seeing his above response means that ship sailed.

Re: Homecoming Illini vs Gophers
Bryce Williams was basically the #2 all of last year as a true freshman. He has played in a game or two this year, but could still redshirt.Ski wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2019 11:46 amI must have been thinking Zack Annexstad.
