I am in Moscow, Idaho for the BGSU-Idaho game that kicks off in two hours. My friends and I drove 32 hours straight from Chicago to get out here for my Bachelor party and we are having a blast! Go Falcons and Vandals!
September 1st, 2011 at 7:17 PM ^
Bachelor party in Idaho? Rock on, brother.
September 1st, 2011 at 7:43 PM ^
Have too many teeth?
September 1st, 2011 at 8:51 PM ^
you're in Idaho and on Mgoblog? The only thing that could take your party to some next level shit is if you and Tony Romo are playing hide and seek later.
September 1st, 2011 at 7:01 PM ^
FOOTBAWW!
It's finally that time of year when it takes me an entire hour to read through all of the college football news and michigan analysis of the day.
Let's go UNLV!!
September 1st, 2011 at 7:07 PM ^
Was hoping to watch the Toledo game on ESPN3, but it's blacked out because I'm in the area. Oh well, just have to watch the Lions' second stringers until the Wisconsin game.
September 1st, 2011 at 7:12 PM ^
In an offseason rife with scandal and conference drama, it's good to have games on the field again.
Enjoy your football day today
September 1st, 2011 at 7:34 PM ^
For fuck's sake, I don't even care to hear stupid ass comments about how Wisconsin is so awesome because of "Jump Around". Just play some fucking football already for. the. love.
September 1st, 2011 at 7:54 PM ^
Good! Central is having some problems. Suck it, Chips! Go Rockets.
Now let's see a B1G team.
September 1st, 2011 at 9:01 PM ^
when Toledo beat Central for the first time since 2004
September 2nd, 2011 at 8:22 AM ^
Please don't talk about Toledo. Leaves a very foul taste in my mouth.
September 1st, 2011 at 7:57 PM ^
I feel like there has been a "Bell" on Toledo's defense since my Freshman year. And he was a Sr. then!
September 1st, 2011 at 8:02 PM ^
i didnt miss you but I like seeing you on my tv because of what it means. foooootballlllllllllllll
September 1st, 2011 at 8:10 PM ^
September 1st, 2011 at 8:13 PM ^
Seriously... that's not proof. He is good, but that drive is not proof. Left side of the line is a tad weak, too.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:21 PM ^
September 1st, 2011 at 8:11 PM ^
Well that was way too easy. With Wilson running the offense, look for wisconsin to hang 70 today.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:17 PM ^
What's the Wisconsin/UNLV spread? Wisconsin -99?
September 1st, 2011 at 8:22 PM ^
Give me UNLV for $100.00
September 1st, 2011 at 8:36 PM ^
But all kidding aside, Bielema is a douche. If he thought he could get 100, he would.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:19 PM ^
With a nice looking punt there...
September 1st, 2011 at 8:21 PM ^
Do online streams to these things even exist anymore? A working link would be superb.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:39 PM ^
Noticed that shortly after I asked, thank you!
September 1st, 2011 at 8:22 PM ^
We're out of Vitamin Water and Diet Coke, so even though I have to be at work super early tomorrow I've swithed to alcohol. I may or may not be on my second Summer Shandy and third Tanqueray and Sierra Mist. Happy Return of College Football, y'all!
September 1st, 2011 at 8:25 PM ^
thinking of a shandy is making me sick, poping a stout in your honor
September 1st, 2011 at 8:33 PM ^
Cheers!
September 1st, 2011 at 8:24 PM ^
Wow...this UNLV defense is bad. Wilson has way to much time on his 2 passes
September 1st, 2011 at 8:24 PM ^
wow, what a miss from WIlson
September 1st, 2011 at 8:25 PM ^
Yet again, the Wisconsin offensive line looks excellent. Actually, I'm very happy about that considering we will only play them if we meet in the Big Ten title game. I know they're playing an awful UNLV team, but still, they look awesome already.
I miss the days of 320+ lb. linemen. Please, Brady Hoke, bring those days back.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:28 PM ^
I am also glad we miss them on the schedule. UNLV is bad, but they aren't Delaware St. bad. The fact that Wisconsin is able to run all over them like this certainly shows how dominant they are.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:51 PM ^
Wilson has just been standing in the pocket, waiting for a receiver to get open, with no pressure. Must be nice.
Can we take a moment to LOL at Sparty because they need a Friday night to get exposure?
September 1st, 2011 at 9:01 PM ^
320+? Jake Long isn't even listed above 320 right now. The Bears have one player listed above 320, the Saints have three. 3/4 are above 30.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:25 PM ^
This game is not going to end well for UNLV.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:27 PM ^
we don't have to play Wisconsin?
September 1st, 2011 at 8:29 PM ^
we don't get to play UNLV?
September 1st, 2011 at 8:30 PM ^
Delete me.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:46 PM ^
Well not in the regular season, we will meet them in the conference championship
September 1st, 2011 at 8:28 PM ^
This is going to be an UGLY game if you're a Rebels fan.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:28 PM ^
What magic cupboard is Wisconsin using that gives them an endless supply of top-notch tailbacks? Their top RB Clay leaves school early and there are two great backs right behind him. Meanwhile, Michigan's been searching for Mike Hart's replacement for 4 years.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:48 PM ^
Let me go all Brady Hoke here . . . great O Lines make great tailbacks. They make it easy to recruit them, and they make them play well once they show up.
It will work for us too.
September 1st, 2011 at 9:35 PM ^
Clay - 1,012 yards, 5.4 YPC
White - 1,052 yards, 6.7 YPC (!!!)
Ball - 996 yards, 6.1 YPC
So really... You could argue that Clay was their 3rd-best back last year.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:29 PM ^
1st down: Pass for the hell of it, overthrow a wide open dude by a mile.
2nd down: Run for 10+ yards
September 1st, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
Wilson does not look good. Consistently missing wide open men.
The running game however will likely pick up where it did last year.
September 1st, 2011 at 8:32 PM ^
Timing will take more than one game. He will be fine
September 1st, 2011 at 9:38 PM ^
You're crazy. Wilson has been great thus far.
