Wasn't Red Grange the "Galloping Ghost"?

"A streak of fire, a breath of flame Eluding all who reach and clutch; A gray ghost thrown into the game That rival hands may never touch; A rubber bounding, blasting soul Whose destination is the goal — Red Grange of Illinois!" -Grantland Rice, 1924

I guess that's where they got it. I'll have whatever Grantland Rice was smoking.

Nebby whatcha doing?

 

[Jake]

Ouch! Legs don't bend that way. Can't believe it didn't break.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Nova is done.

This is what they do. They win a few early season games, then go in the shitter. They'll end up 7-5 with a loss to South Carolina in some December bowl game.

 

[LostLassie]

It would be considerate of them to at least end up within the spread.

Minny cuts it to 4!

 

[Bill Lucas]

Rutgers coach needs to learn how to get out of a half and regroup. Terrible decisions and it might have cost him his quarterback.

Back to 11. I fucking HATE Minnesota. I don't know why, but I do.

Illinois has a ghastly defense, varmints have 144 yards. Terrible. Maybe because they're seemingly always spartying things up more than sparty.

And Minny is back in business... before this post jinxes them.

 

[jlb1705]

Thanks for playing, Illinois.

 

[NFBuck]

Illinois out-spartying the varmints. That's what happens when you hire Elmer Fudd to be your head coach.

 

[buckeyeintn]

And the varmints take the lead. NF, I understand your hate for them. Like many, my hate for them began 1/25/72. I just hold my nose and focus on what is good for the Bucks.
