Official first-half thread: Minn vs. NU

[lou v]

It's a blustery day in Evanston, with a pretty steady wind coming in from the northeast. That will definitely affect the passing and punting today.

It doesn't look like we're going to have much of a crowd today. Lots of metal showing at kickoff.

Everyone on college gameday picked Minneosta. Lets prove them wrong! Go 'Cats!

Not a bad first drive . too bad about the penalty but we didn't come away empty and the guys probably feel pretty god about it.

I'm afraid JJ is just not quite fast enough forma jet sweep early in the game.

 

[Deeringfish]

That was a stupid TO. Take the TO after he play.

 

[Deeringfish]

Now they abandon the rugby punt

Lowry was especailly inspired for some reason.

 

[Seattle_Cat]

Good catch by Shuler. I hate when they don't at least fair catch

He could have gotten some good return yards, though.
