Wisconsin-Illinois

[Chief Wiggum_rivals246870]

Announcers fawning over the Badgers...but Illinios looks very inept so far.

 

[Husker4real_rivals373787]

So good to have Big Ten Football back!

 

[Charlie Marlow_rivals363743]

Illinois won this game last year. Hoping for a repeat performance.

 

[K_Y_E]

I just can’t stand Paul Chryst and his stupid face.

 

[Chief Wiggum_rivals246870]

It is super early of course but Wisky doesnt appear to have the bludgeoning Oline like normal....nor the home run RB. Mertz is a very good QB tho.

 

[Chief Wiggum_rivals246870]

Solid right foot spot by the refs on 4th down for Wisky

No kidding. RB didn’t make the line of scrimmage, but somehow it’s a first down.

 

[Ki113rSk3r69]

Wisconsin did not get the first down 1st quarter 1:12 left...

Big Ten Supervisor of Officials Barry Alvarez says you’re wrong.

 

[cHUCK001]

That Mertz kid will be a future star. It's early, but he seems to have all of the right tools. Rivals 2019 #2 pro QB. For our sake, let's hope he won't be.

So it doesn't look like there are any family in the stands. Is that a stadium by stadium decision?

I just can’t stand Paul Chryst and his stupid face.

Glad he has been mostly wearing a mask when the camera has been on him. COVID-19 does have a few benefits.

 

[CatColumbia]

Wisconsin’s offensive line looks great again. For the first time in a decade they don’t have a back that we’ll have to fear. If we play good offensively we will beat them.

 

[Ki113rSk3r69]

 

[Ki113rSk3r69]

Yes they did. They hired Mark Trestman, the Mike Reilly of the NFL, at the same time Mike was coaching NU. Then they traded up to draft Mitchell Trubisky and paid Mike Glennon like 18 million dollars to be the starter so Mitch could learn under him.

Will I ever forgive them? Hard to say.

Now I get to watch "offensive guru" Matt Nagy try to outsmart himself every Sunday by running Cordarelle Patterson between the tackles and allow his offensive players to get away with dog **** effort on a consistent basis. How they're 5-1 is a total mystery to me.

Glad he has been mostly wearing a mask when the camera has been on him. COVID-19 does have a few benefits.

Yeah, can’t see him mouth **** Illinois..

 

[Chief Wiggum_rivals246870]

Game tightens up....here comes the flags on Illinois.

 

[The_Guy_Behind_The_Guy_Behind_The_Guy]

Nice heads up play Illinois! Talk about Johnny on the Spot!

 

[Ki113rSk3r69]

See what happens when you play 2 quarterbacks

 

[The_Guy_Behind_The_Guy_Behind_The_Guy]

Game tightens up....here comes the flags on Illinois.

You called it!

 

[CatColumbia]

Illinois is plain garbage.

 

[Husker4real_rivals373787]

Okay - Illinois sucks. Wisconsin just plays vanilla, waiting for the opponent to screw up.

Don’t screw up and you have a shot.

 

[The_Guy_Behind_The_Guy_Behind_The_Guy]

Wisconsin looks good passing the ball. That said, Illinois is REALLY BAD!!

 

[Adjil]

Illannoy is awful

Give them time for the hgh to work

 

[Ki113rSk3r69]

Patience, Lovie is a defensive guru. I am a Bears fan and he won a lot off his defense. But he needs to stick with the hot qb and that was Peters.

Wut

 

[Ki113rSk3r69]

Wut

[GretnaShawn]

Illinois QB Williams can’t throw to save his life. Woof.

 

[steinek11]

Time to move on from Lovey? They are going nowhere with him.

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

Probably why Tanner Lee’s faster cousin starts over him

 

[Hford]

The product seems lifeless without fans

Always stick with a hot peters

 

[CatColumbia]

Nah, Illinois can be the whipping boy of the West.

 

[The_Guy_Behind_The_Guy_Behind_The_Guy]

Did that just say Paul Chryst played QB for Wisconsin in 1987? Based on his size, don’t think he was a running QB...dang!

 

[bigboxes]

Well, let's hope that HCSF gets us scoring again. We're going to need it in the coming weeks.

 

[JoelBittner]

No one in the stands. This level of species stupidity requires me to call down the Thunder from the Cosmos. If there is a global storm that wipes out every anti-science idiot on the planet, I want the credit.
Other than that the Badgers are still the class of the West. They need to be dethroned.

 

[BuckysBoys1]

So it doesn't look like there are any family in the stands. Is that a stadium by stadium decision?

Yes

 

[JohnRossEwing]

Badgers averaged 3.4 yards per rush. Nothing all that impressive.
That QB doesn't run and face it, he isn't having another game where he completes 99% of his passes.

Illinois is horrible. Last season saved Lovie's "retirement" and Covid (coupled with the fact that the Illini basketball team is going to be flat out killers) will save his "retirement" for one more year.

I still think the Illini end up going after Illinois native Jeff Monken from Army.
