    Finally saw the replay, looked painful. His foot was planted and then the DT hit with all his pressure right on the knee.

    I like that you guys are scouting our opposition for next week, but you really should be watching the SEC GotW.

    USCe v UGA hasn't kicked off yet.

    As for Florida, Muschamp probably sucks.

    We should beat Illinois, and I will be pissed if that doesn't happen. That said, I'm not going to expect a Sark led team to blow someone out on the road until I see it. After we blow out Boise we ignore four years worth of sucking on the road? Fuck, does everyone forget Cal, Colorado, and WSU last year? I doubt Illinois is as bad as those teams were.

    Looking forward to the real GotW.

    As for the fake GotW.... Florida pissed that game away.

    I absolutely haven't forgotten those games, but I think the team should be more confident now than they were at any point last year. I think having two weeks of the coaches harping on everything they did wrong against BSU will be a good thing too. Also, the way Illinois played today should give the coaches more ammo to combat overconfidence. After watching that game, it's pretty clear that Illinois doesn't have anything close to the athletes UW has. Also, it's entirely possible that UW and UI will have a similar number of fans at the game. If UW is going to win 9 or 10 games this year, they need to go dominate the Illini. I expect that to happen, and anything else will piss me the fuck off.

    Just a FYI, we beat Colorado in Boulder 38-3 last year.

    After a 7-0 first half that was some of the worst football I've ever seen.

    I must of repressed it, I can't remember the first half.

    That game was embarrassing. Terrible football on both sides. I'd rather watch Pop-Warner. Please don't bring it up as I made the mistake of taking the wife to that game.
