Maryland @ Illinois (Fri)

[QChawks]

Any chance the fighting belimas can get the dub?

 

[dadster]

Not so much.

 

[F5n5]

yea, you know.. its interesting...
Lovie had really built this team up and this was going to be the year Illinois takes a big jump forward... but then Illinois fired Lovie for some un-gawddamd-known reason...

and now Bert is struggling.. almost as if Bert has no idea how to run a football program.
having said that I hope Illinois wins tonight...

I like rooting for West teams over East teams.

Who is fatter? Bielma or Mangino?

Does his tigerhawk tattoo look like a hand print turkey now?

 

[Franisdaman]

More like Lake Superior

 

[ichawk24]

Maryland is a 7 point favorite. It would not be a shocker for Illinois to win. It should be competitive.

 

[BBHawk]

More like Lake Superior

Looks like a mitten now - kind of like the state of Wisconsin map. Hey...?

 

[HawkCapt1912]

Or Meatchicken

 

[flaiawis]

Two well fed head coaches. Very interested in the outcome tonight.

 

[pink shizzle]

If Illinois keeps losing maybe a recruit or two that chose them over us will reconsider his choice. A guy can wish.

 

[pharmdfd]

Both teams stink

 

[F5n5]

great game so far... both defenses look strong... and Bart is gettin p*ssed after not getting any points that possession

 

[TailgateTom]

Bielema and Locksley hugged before the game. Their guts looked like two zeppelins in a head on collision.

Mangino>Tracy Claeys>Locksley>Bert

 

[BubsFinn]

Tough for me to pick a favorite in this one. I want both teams to look terrible.

 

[LGEND24]

5-0 with Penn State coming to town, can’t wait.

 

[BUCKSNDUCKS]

Both look very beatable !

Your wish is granted so far.

 

[mazda1]

I expected a bigger line. IL d hasn’t been awful. I’d have guessed a rout at this point.

 

[TouchdownMyPants]

I’m surprised by how slow Illinois looks off the ball. Locksley was 2-26 at New Mexico. How on earth is he still an HC?

 

[amahawk]

Both teams are not looking very good. A bad pick for a prime time game.

 

[F5n5]

this is why the Big Ten is the best... even the bottom feeders play good defense.

 

[mazda1]

Maryland without a TD in the first half, so far. Their offense isn’t what was forecast.

 

[jhawk23]

MD playing pretty dirty so far - two clear targetings and an unnecessary roughness that wasn’t called. Not surprising.

 

[Hawktagonapus]

That looked like targeting for me.

 

[20Hawkeye14]

Lots of mistakes by both teams in this game. Also poor tackling.

 

[kwik44]

Yeah both these teams suck. Iowa will eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

 

[desihawk]

i’m not watching this game so pardon the question. does Tag look like a better qb than Petras?

 

[jhawk23]

All I really want is for MD to not be undefeated in big ten play when we visit. Their fan base will probably check out if they lose to IL and I imagine the Oct 1 crowd would be a bit less hostile.

 

[ichawks]

There’s 30 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

 

[20Hawkeye14]

Super different QBs. Tag is pretty small and super quick and twitchy so he could be a heck of a runner. Throwing the ball though he seems to have trouble unless somebody is wide open, though he’s got some mustard on his passes.

 

[SotaHawk87]

There’s 30 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

That was straight ass

 

[ichawks]

Good lord Brandon Peters is bad.

 

[nu2u]

O/U 61.5 Halftime score 3-3.

Unders beathing easy.

 

[BirdistheWord]

O/U 61.5 Halftime score 3-3.

Unders beathing easy.

decimal was off on O/U

 

[Underscore2]

I just noticed the score.

Any chance this is actually a volleyball game?

 

[SDHawkDoc]

There’s 30 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

Completely different game between UCF and Louisville. Incredible ending.

 

[Suterman]

Neither team is very good. Maryland has some good athletes but if you're not careful, they can burn you. Iowa should handle both of these teams.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

this is why the Big Ten is the best... even the bottom feeders play good defense.

guess we don't have to worry about the B12 trying to poach them since they play 'good' defense.
