We need to get revenge on them. In 1924 they tried to (maybe did) purposefully hurt Red Grange. Zuppke refused to play them the rest of his career although they did play in Zuppke’s last season - 1941. That 1941 team lost to them however - so we totally owe them. Beat them for Zuppke and Grange!!!
Agreed. As big as Art getting 1st team reps this week is the coaches having a full week to prepare a game plan wrapped around Art’s strengths.
Sounds just like those darn Gophers! I can see that you hold a grudge quite well, something I respect a great deal.
According to some, Art doesn't have any strengths.
Let's hope Ibrahim plays. Don't want any excuses at this point in the season. Besides, he is fun to watch. It'll be even more fun to watch our D stuff him all night. Stop him for less than 100, less than 50? The challenge is there.Looks like he'll be back for Saturday. Let's hope we'll have Josh, too, and maybe TVD
Gophers expect star RB Ibrahim to play vs. Illini
Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck said Monday that he expects star running back Mohamed Ibrahim to return from an ankle injury in time for Saturday's game against Illinois.www.espn.com
Is that why the line has ballooned to Minny -6.5? Or do insiders know something we don't about TDV and IW?Looks like he'll be back for Saturday. Let's hope we'll have Josh, too, and maybe TVD

Nice! Tremendous athlete and at this point of our season I want all the smoke from all our foes. After witnessing our defense bully the heck out of Wisconsin in their own backyard I welcome the challenge.Looks like he'll be back for Saturday. Let's hope we'll have Josh, too, and maybe TVD

I didn't see Darkangelo go down.
Woof....
Exactly. It is pretty disheartening how many “loyal” fans are writing off this game if TDV can’t go. Illini just beat Iowa with Art playing most of the game. Was it pretty? No, but they won. Those two wins last year you cite happened with Petersen as OC. I really need to read this board closer because I missed all the Petersen is a better OC than Lunney posts. And in those two wins, you know what was missing — this year’s D.
Are we on Shammond Cooper watch????
Post is in jest, I know, but we've got a PWO on the team who has run this offense since grade school Pop Warner.if TDV can't go, here's one vote for triple option with Brown (QB), McCray, Love and Laughery
That's what I say!Could we get another coach fired if we beat them with a PWO QB??
Get yer' life jacket on PJ!!
I think we were battered this week while Minnesota has had the luxury of healing up and prepping us well. We are probably going to be missing one of our best players against probably the best team we've played to this point. I wouldn't rule anything out, but I won't be too upset about being 5-2 myself if that happens.
I'll be second, except that I will strike the "we try" phrase.
They lost to Purdue without Ibrahim. He's back for us. And their offense is better than Iowa's.
