mid-day thoughts

I think Zook has already given up on the season- god this game is painful to watch. Hey, drop those Illini players so you can make room for more tight ends!
How can Sheets have minus 27 yards rushing?! Is it possible to lose points? I think that is a bad omen for me.
Well, I did it. I just bet 100 bucks on Iowa to win today. Nothing like risking 100 to win 6. Is it free money or a foolish wager?
How good is VT this year? They look vulnerable. Or maybe Rutgers is a top 20 team this year.
I really hate the Illinois uniforms. All white jerseys with a sort of orange blob stripe on their pants. Yuck! On the other hand, Rutgers uniforms look pretty decent. Nothing great but certainly better to look at than Illinois. So I guess the better looking team is winning- there is some justice in the world.

You can't put Brasic back in, he looked horrible. Might as well play Juice, who clearly has talent but needs a lot work. Yeah, thought watching the IU game might give me a sleeper pick up. Nope, but I can drop Brasic with confidence.

New Hampshire drives the field for an opening drive TD. Do you think Kafka can throw for 100 yards again and win?

New Hampshire leads Northwestern?!

I am almost ready to admit that the Big ten is way down this year if this trend continues today.

Jay said...

Make that 14-0!

Jay said...

Make that 13-0 -- missed extra point.

Matt said...

And minnesota does not play Illinois or NW this year...ahh the minnesota fortunes continue.
I am shocked that Ill and NW are this bad. I expected them to be poor but not this bad. It reminds me of the Wacker years- well maybe this is worse. hey, Brasic was a prize gopher recruit at one time- thank goed he changed his mind- nice job mason.

Jay said...

Northwestern 14-13, Sutton on fire.

Matt said...

NW big ten record the last 3 years
14-10

Minn 13-11


Why is Mason still the coach?

Ok- enough Mason bashing for now- I will wait until tonight

Jay said...

Who's going to lead the Gophers in rushing yards tonight?

Matt said...

can I sub stocco for tate or is it too late? I just saw he is out for the game today.

Jay said...

What! Tate is out and you bet on Iowa?

Matt said...

I know- I had no idea! Did you know about this, b/c this is the first I have heard of it

Jay said...

No, I had no idea and I have been keeping an eye on Iowa this week. Although with the new job I can't delve into this stuff as much as I would like. I was expecting the Tate-Grigsby connection to begin today.

Matt said...

I cannot believe it. Right after I put big money on them- they drop this bomb! I still think Iowa will win but now I have to worry more. This should be good for Young- they are going to lean on him.

Jay said...

Where did you see it?

Matt said...

espn reported it- abdominal strain

Jay said...

God Damn Kory Sheets!

GOD DAMN KORY SHEETS!
