***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS SYRACUSE PINSTRIPE BOWL IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

WTF are you talking about? They would have had to go 90 yards in 8 seconds.

I get disliking the conservative play calling by PJ but why the F would you rope Tanner in with that? We won this game when BSF recovered the onside.
Exactly.

As for the playcalling...normally I would have been annoyed but the second it became clear the field was a hinderance (and the injuries piled up) I would have done the same thing. And the people whining about it would have gone ape [bleep] if we starting "taking chances" and it lead to more injuries or a loss...
 





















We always seem to get good initial pressure, but for some reason don't seem to finish well after that. Changing nature of the game with more mobile quarterbacks and five-man patterns, but there's really no reason Schrader wasn't on his backside during their final drive near the goal line. It's a quibble, but a little frustrating.
 

I'm glad the Gophs got the Pinstripe behind them. What a shitty ass phucked up bowl. Shitty field. Shitty weather. Shitty stadium for football. Shitty announcers. Shitty opponent.

Nice win.
Then we should’ve won winnable games against Iowa (or Illinois or Purdue) and we would’ve been in Florida with better weather and better turf in better stadiums playing a better opponent. When you lose games you should win, you end up in shitty second-tier bowls like this.

I think the point is it shouldn’t be a bowl game. It’s bad football.
 




Happy to see Filiaga putting the Cuse noseguard in his place on the last play.
 

Did Mo get all the records he was after today?
 

Per PJ...Mo pulled due to rolling his ankle.
 

The problem with math nerds is you analyze everything in a vacuum and ignore flow, pressure, momentum, etc.
You dont have to tell me! I get in fights all the time with analytics people. Not everything is quantifiable. Probability is a good data point for making a decision but it is not the ONLY data point.

In this case though I honestly think going for 2 was the smarter decision because they have no TOs and are kicking the onside anyways. Either way the odds are long you will get the points you need so it is not life or death either way. Babers had a lot of other decisions that were much more head scratchy...
 

Where are you guys finding post-game interviews? ESPN moved right into the Cheez-It for me and there's nothing on the team YouTube channel.
