Friday night open chat.... Brought to you by bird dog apple whisky

Gobert looks 8' tall

Yeah they might have to put McGee out for some minutes

 

[Jim14510]

How many minutes has Ouedraogo got?

 

[Red Finger]

France's size makes it a bit tougher. De Colo is about 5 inches taller than I remember

Tatum was getting whatever he wanted against Luwawu-Cabarrot. We just need the boyz to iso er up and get the the rim. If it ain’t there kick it and hope we aren’t dipshit losers and start cannin our 3s

 

[Red Finger]

How many minutes has Ouedraogo got?

Not playing…obviously why they’re losing imo

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

Are you bullish on our linebackers? I am just not in love with our LB’s across the board? I think that is our weakest spot?

Yes...

Jojo is an NFL draft pick and a top tier OLB in the B1G

Reimer has added 20 lbs and maintained his athletic ability. He also has great instincts.

Kolaveric is a Wisconsin lb who is always in the right spot and is a top athlete on the team.

Nick is a stud who when he played down the stretch last year was a tackling machine.

Nelson has learned the scheme and done a great job playing within it. Now you have his effort that is funneled.

Tannor is a guy who is solid, but at his ceiling. He has improved but I think you'll see more of a jump from Nelson and Payne.

Payne has leaned up and I think with a normal healthy year under him he could be a leader in the pass rush.

Muaga has started closing the gap between him and starters. He is under sized so hope we don't need him vs the 21 personnel teams, but he is getting better.

I don't think we have a Gregory or David type guy here, but they know the scheme and will play fast.

 

[Red Finger]

Something like that, but.....

Lost their stud OG
They lost 5/6(iirc) of their top receivers.
They had to move their back up kicker and QB to WR
They are implementing completely new schemes on both sides
They didn't have hardly any talent on defense. So if it comes back who cares?
Biggest thing is making sure their emotional momentum doesn't take over. Stop their run game and you'll be fine.
You are looking at a C and OT who are watch list guys. A good RB and Peters is regarded as one of the best QBs in the west.

I just don't think they have the weapons on offense to move the ball. I also think that our defense remembers this game and had revenge on their mind.

That's why I got to where I did.

Yeah, i mean…i hear ya but…

 

[BIGSTICK67]

Over under 2 special teams touchdowns?

over under 1 defensive touchdown?

Special teams = under...but not by much
Defense = over

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

Yeah, i mean…i hear ya but…

Yaaa the beaten dog syndrome.... Trust me I think of it. If we don't cover (-7) I'll be pretty pissed though. This game shouldn't be close.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

How many minutes has Ouedraogo got?

I was optimistic after his freshman year and then...

 

[Jim14510]

I don't think we have a Gregory or David type guy here

At least you're not hammered on koolaid.

 

[Jim14510]

I was optimistic after his freshman year and then...

Is he gone? I googled the roster to verify spelling and he isn't on it.

 

[BIGSTICK67]

And then the recruiting improved

Transferred to Grand Canyon University. Was clear after Andre put the moves on some poor soul his first game back from Covid that Yvan was cooked.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

And then the recruiting improved

I thought he had a base that could be developed into a solid rotation big in the big ten, but his hands and finishing never got there

 

[Faux Sean Callahan]

At least you're not hammered on koolaid.

I'm drunk but not in kool aid.

I do think Payne could be an Eric Martin type guy. I don't know if he could get to that this year, but I want to see it.

 

[Jim14510]

How did that 3 from Lavine go in?

 

[Baron Winnebago]

How did that 3 from Lavine go in?

No idea. Must have been a wind gust

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Lol France going with Gobert and Fall at the same time. Madness

 

[Jim14510]

Lol France going with Gobert and Fall at the same time. Madness

And U.S. takes two quick 3s in response.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Did Durant kiss that Frenchman to start the 4th?

Probably. Traditional greeting
