Blaine Gabbert leads Missouri Tigers over Illinois Fighting Illini, 37-9

By GC Four

Every morning, a lion gets up in Africa and says, ‘I better run as fast as the slowest gazelle or I’m going to starve to death.' And everyday a gazelle gets up and says, ‘I’ve got to run as fast as the slowest lion or I’ll get eaten.’ So, it doesn’t matter who you are. Every morning you better get up and start running. - Dave Steckel

Congrats.

Let’s just say that you all made me look like an absolute genius. Everyone else was all like: “Oh, Missouri lost everybody, they are going to get blown out” And then I was like “you are all wrong. Missouri will win”.

I win because you win.

Seriously, though, awesome win. Big 12 is undefeated so far. I want it to stay that way.

Big 12 > SEC Campaign is officially starting now.

I knew it all along!

/hoping everyone ignores his six-point loss prognostication.

But seriously, Blaine Gabbert and, perhaps moreso, the defense showed me something today. They played like veterans. Played with pride.

Lots to take away from this game

Good QB and WR play. Alexander and Kemp have some jets. Still some things to work on, but nothing huge. Great start to the year.

BYU/OU may be tied at the half. OU’s TD came from a turnover and a quick score, but BYU is playing them tough.

In fact, as I type this, BYU turns it over at the goal line. Damn.

Bradford is hurt

Looks like broken collarbone/ separated shoulder.

by solidpit on Sep 5, 2009 7:37 PM CDT up reply actions

update!!

Score OU 10, BYU 7…

HOWEVER, Bradford got smoked just prior to halftime, and looks to have a jammed/seperated shoulder

Yet again we beat Illinois at football.

So it’s likely we get beat by Illinois in Basketball. All is well with the world.

I'm stoked

I knew Alexander was good, but he was awesome. I already have a mancrush on Gabbert. Defense much better than I thought. Now, if only the Stormin Mormans can pull off the upset, my day will be complete.

Yes, I'm still alive. Sorry to disappoint you.
