A homecoming bust for Gophers football
The growing pains continue.
It has been several years since the Illinois Fighting Illini liked playing the Minnesota Gophers. That’s because under prior coach Glen Mason, they rarely won against our maroon and gold. But under new coach Tim Brewster, in the middle of a rookie season as head coach and dipped in a big, giant vat of “rebuilding pains,” the Illini may have found a coach who could become a favorite of Illinois fans.
The Illini spoiled the Gophers’ homecoming week with a dominating, 44-17 win that saw Rashard Mendenhall slice up the Gophers’ sex scandal-decimated defense, surrendering 201 yards to the running back. The Gophers proved ineffective scoring points against Illinois this time, too.
I hope no one took out a cash advance against the spread of the Gophers’ homecoming result.
