OFFICIAL: Minnesota vs Syracuse in Pinstripe Bowl

It will be awesome if the very same people complaining about the bowl game destination will be complaining if the Gophers lose the game they’re complaining about having to play. 😎
 

I am disappointed, but I get the Pinstripe Bowl invitation. Goal was to have 8 different B1G teams at the Pinstripe in 8 years; we haven’t been there yet, so it is our turn. Also, we lost to Iowa, Purdue and Illinois. I don’t know if this is the bowl we deserved, but it is the one we earned. We should have beaten Purdue and Iowa—and the bowl selection would have been more acceptable to the complainers.

We get several more practices, and get to play an opponent that was ranked this year as long as we were ranked (longer if you count their bye week). NYC is expensive, but it isn’t a trash city. It is a great city. And it won’t be that cold … probably. Support the team. Go Gophers.

LMAO. What. I've been to NYC numerous times and have zero clue what you mean. Not everything is sparkling new. I swear people see older cities and view them as 'dirty' vs 'history'....you'd probably call 99% of Europe a cesspool because it's falling apart. 'Look at that piece of shit tower...it's leaning!' 🤣
Europe is likely cleaner than NYC
 

Tell us you're an uncultured hick without actually saying it. Stay in your basement.
LOL. Yep, that's why crime was the #1 issue in the last NYC mayoral race FOR DEMORCRATS. Don't you wish those New York hicks would just get a bit more culture like you and your friends?

Tell us you derive your "culture" from your politics and not actually knowing a thing about other places (like lets say New York), without saying it.


 

NYC is the last place I’d go no matter the season. It’s well known for being filthy and full of crime. Nashville also has it’s crime but not near as expensive and likely cleaner. NYC is a dump.
I just spent the last four days in Nashville. In fact, I'm at the airport now as I type this. It's a great city.

No doubt the pearl clutchers bitching about NY would be terrified of anywhere larger than Sleepy Eye...

And now that Mayor Adam's has appointed a rat czar there should be more room on the subway platforms.

Nashville will not cheap on New Year's Eve. The hotels will cost as much as they do in NYC (if you can find one).

WTF are you talking about? Nashville was flooded with people from NYC because New York is a dump.

You're not cultured because you spent a weekend in Nashville or go to New York city on vacation. Get over yourself.
 



The Bowl Committees have to want you. The B1G is not going to force a Bowl to accept a team that it doesn't want.

If the folks behind the Music City or Mayo Bowl really wanted MN, they would tell the B1G and it would get worked out.

The Gophers are not going to the Music City or Mayo Bowl. that should tell you something about how MN is perceived outside of the fan bubble.

as to the opponent, it's easy to understand why the Pinstripe Bowl people would want a team in Syracuse that might help sell tickets.

Life ain't fair. why should sports be any different?
An interesting point. How would you characterize the Gopher fan bubble? How would it differ from the Iowa or Wisconsin fan bubble?

There is crime in all big cities. NYC is not unique in that sense.

Those pearl clutchers, do you mean the Democrat voters in NY? Those idiots?
 

The difference between the Pinstripe, Mayo and Music City is really not all that much. Except that it is in a "cold" location, New York is a far better city than Charlotte or Nashville. There isn't a whole helluva lot in Charlotte and I can't stand country music.
NYC in the winter is one of the worst bowl locations period.

My politics have nothing to do with it. I don't live in fear of different places, experiences and cult. ures. Some of my political opinions may not be what you think.

My wife and I have traveled the world extensively. We don't go on group tours, all inclusive resorts or cruises, because they're full of people like the pearl clutchers here who fear for their "safety" in unfamiliar surroundings . It's called being a traveler and not a tourist.

What does that have to do with the hicks here telling us how scared they are of a city.
 

I don't dislike Pinstripe bowl or New York City, I dislike the fact ACC gave Syracuse a virtual home game. Northern climate games should have to be played in indoor stadiums.

Well, not quite (Syracuse is about 4 hrs away), but that's the part I dislike the most as well. Why couldn't they give us Pitt? That would have been a good matchup.

You are responding to snowflakes. People who live in constant fear.

I live there, hence the name and if you go by actual FBI Crime Statistics ( which compare them on a per capita basis), you would see it has a far lower murder rate than Mpls historically and it routinely ranks as one of the safest big cities in the country.

It features bi-weekly trash pickup and is by no means Filthy for a place with nine million inhabitants.

It pretty easy to guess where you get your info from and I find it hilarious when someone like you weighs in with opinions and presents them as facts, when they are simply opinions, not based on any observational or hard data.

Here’s a sample of data (educate yourself or don’t champ. There has been an uptick which many analysts feel us related to the COVID), however, it is still safer than it was at its apex). FYI - Gov. Patterson who comments in the article is legally blind.

Lastly, you don’t ever have to visit, as you won’t be missed.

The Pinstripe had to be filled by either Minnesota or Illinois this year. No other team below PSU qualified as all have been there the past seven years. Illinois, with better wins including head to head, was always going to get picked ahead of MN this year.

You sound super cultured. Let me guess, you love trying new restaurants too?

You should go teach those hicks in NYC to not care about crime. It's their #1 issue.

We've gone over this extensively. Eight different teams in eight years was no requirement. The only team that couldn't go back was Maryland.

Stop trying so hard.

It's a liberal city in a blue state. That's why many of these guys hate NYC.
 

I know. It's fun to mock people who live in constant fear and think they have a clue, despite probably never leaving their hometown.
And yet you chose to live in your little safe bubble of a town where? Prove me wrong.
