Roundtree Flashback Illinois 2009
Was anyone else a little nervous when we were down 7 in the second quarter and Denard had that pass to Roundtree that went for 75 yards....and then was caught and taken down at the 4. I for one, instantly had flashbacks to last year when he was caught at the one and then we failed to score.
Thank god for Stephen Hopkins who punched it in, but i just found it coincidental

Not at all.... this year is not last year , ask Molk

Uh, it happened this year too. I want to say Indiana (?). I had the same flashback.

I felt that Roundtree was engaged immediately after the catch in this years game, whereas last year he was caught from behind. I was still worried, but I felt that Roundtree was really trying to get into the endzone this year.

I was just relieved he protected the ball

I had flashbacks of fear for myself and my two kids who didn't remember last year's 4 shots from the one - they didn't remember b/c they were suiting up for trick or treating and I opted not to 'scare' them by telling what had happened...
Hopkins brought the healthy Minor Rage...loved it.

There must have been at least 5 published comments about that on the LiveBlog at the time.
I think our offense has improved so substantially from last year that I was fairly confident we'd score, but the thought did cross my mind.

Well i apologize then. I was at the game and didn't read the live blog. Sorry bout that

several bloggers had similar thoughts. Just glad we got the win.
I too wanted to see more Hopkins, but satisfied that we have Shaw back. Shaw is a good combination of speed with a little more power than Smith, IMO.

This is the point I started having the 2009 flashbacks, too.

looked like he was slowing down to have a conversation with the DB. Probably wanted to ask him to start following him on twitter or have tea or something, cause he definitely should have had no problem getting to the endzone.

I lost most of my hair in the 4th quarter. I'm so close to having a comb over.
November 6th, 2010 at 10:09 PM ^
I just drank more beer
November 6th, 2010 at 10:11 PM ^
The reason he was caught last year was because of the heart showed by that courageous, hard-working young man from East St. Louis.

This (Big) House is clean...

But what about the Demens?

When Roundtree dropped the easy first down pass in the first half, I was initially pissed, then I thought of Donald Duck. I love Roundtree.

very happy that hopkins pounded it in quickly

I insantly turned to the people next to me and said "No way in HELL are we scoring a touchdown here".
I'm pretty sure that my reverse-jinx played a significant role in us scoring on the next play.
