Week 2 Games

[Second place is 1st loser]

Is WMU more physical than Oklahoma? Some are saying.

Unfortunately, WMU is going serve as the ultimate wakeup call and that miracle is going to be erased from many minds should they win today.

Oklahoma’s offense is not top 25 let alone top 10. Or 11.

I hate MI as much as the next Illini, but objectively shouldn't we be rooting for B1G teams in a B1G vs. SEC game? I mean I"m not singing hail to the victors or anything but I'd rather B1G beat SEC.

!#$% that $&@^. And muck Fichigan. I will not root for them under any circumstances. And I'll root for OU to beat them today, even though it looks like they're nowhere near up to that task.

Last week, Michigan's defense wasn't the issue. They did their job. They're doing it again today. The difference this week is that their offense came alone for the ride.

The Michigan corners are very, very impressive. If you can effectively single cover, it open up a world of options for the DC.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

I fail to understand the Mateer hype. He's looked terrible this game. And the OU playcalling has been bad too.

WMU > Michigan > OU

Under no circumstances have I ever been able to root for Michigan. Despising them is indelibly impregnated in my being.

Having said that, however, if this game continues on its current trajectory I'll enjoy seeing ESPN rationalize the Sooner faceplant.

Even though I have two grandsons attending Michigan and are attending the game today, I can never root for Michigan.

Oregon not looking the part so far

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Let's go! TD OU!

I thought Oregon looked suspect last week.

I agree, but Mateer hasn’t looked that good after all the hype.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

OU's punt return team is horrible. Their returner has extremely poor judgement about whether to fair catch or let the ball go.

Can someone text the video of these TE plays to Barry?

What a dumb unnecessary roughness penalty on Michigan.

 

[FloridaMan]

Watching Beers from Oklahoma rip through the Michigan defense, sure would be nice to see BL try to get the ball to KF in space sometimes. Today would be a nice time to start.

I really don’t mind seeing the other conference teams lose. I just have animus for all of them.

 

[Chillinini]

OU looks so overrated.

Fuchigan looks so inept at times. I thought Whittingham would bring some refinement to that program. Doesn’t appear so.

I might be okay with certain other B1G teams getting a non-conference win, but Michigan is another story entirely. The dislike runs deep.

[Illini in Italy]

Mateer for OU has downright sucked most of this game constantly overthrowing his receivers . . .

Not impressed, now a horrible int.

 

[FloridaMan]

Sorry, but Mateer is not. good.

Heisman candidate my a$$.

 

[PasadenaIllini]

Wow. Mateer just isn't good enough. Errant throw after errant throw, his team looking completely disorganized. If you're an undersized QB, to be among the best, you have to bring exceptional ingredients to the table: accuracy, athleticism, strength against the tackle. I don't see any of these things from him.
Where the hype came from is difficult to understand.
