***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT #1 OHIO STATE LET'S SHOCK THE WORLD IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Ski-UT-Mah]

So, an OSU fan with some sort of roots in Ohio? Or just a band rider? It makes a difference.

They are from Columbus and they went there to play school

My $25 "over" just paid off, so I got that going for me.

 

[Gophers7NatTitlesBadgers0]

And there goes the over folks

 

[MaxyJR1]

LOL.
There's 200 posts in this thread whining about the refs.

Stands the test of time.

 

[GophersInIowa]

LOL.
There's 200 posts in this thread whining about the refs.

Pointing out bad calls and saying it’s why we’re losing are two different things.

LOL.

 

[forever a gopher]

We’re going to lose a toss up game or two this year because our FG kicker can’t hit outside of 35 yards.

Kicking is a problem, especially with how PJ likes to play. Wouldn’t hurt to throw Jackson out there in blowouts like this just to get his feet wet.

So they grew up in Columbus and went to the Ohio State Universities just because of the Buckeyes? Typical front-runners. You tell them that....from me.

 

[Gopher1968]

Yeah, except for the small handful of blue bloods, college football is really a competition to see who's the next best. It's damn near impossible to go against the former champion and #1 contender on the road. It requires not only beating the team, but also beating the refs and a huge stadium of fans.

You'll see a fair game MI vs OSU, but not MN vs OSU. That kind of upset can't happen.

Oh Jesus Christ. The refs had nothing to do with this outcome. This game was past being one sided

 

[BilldGopher]

This is no where near as bitter losing to South Dakota in 2010.

Not even close.

Kicking is a problem, especially with how PJ likes to play. Wouldn’t hurt to throw Jackson out there in blowouts like this just to get his feet wet.

Only misses up to today were on 50+ yard kicks.....barely made his first one today and badly missed second. Wouldn't shock me to see Jackson get a look next week.

 

[Gopherchase]

POA to fair catch kick off is so bad. Hard to take.

 

[Panthadad2]

Oh Jesus Christ. The refs had nothing to do with this outcome. This game was past being one sided

No shit. We all have eyes, though. Well, maybe not all.

 

[USAF]

Not a single person has said we’re losing because of bad calls.

Literally a couple posts above yours:

"Because the refs leave no chance for error. The small calls and non-calls add up."

 

[Gopher1968]

Not a single person has said we’re losing because of bad calls.

Read the bitching about the holding and lousy refs. It's ridiculous

 

[PMWinSTP]

PJ Fleck football.

Down 35-3 and instead of going for it, try for a FG and your trash special teams do their thing that they've always done.

Perfect example of what I have been posting tonight. Ugh.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

We’re going to have a real problem in remaining “toss up” games. PJ likes to play it close in these games. But we are in trouble if we leave the game in this kicker’s hands (or feet). We have relied on good kicking in the years the Gophs did well. I got a bad feeling.

 

[MaxyJR1]

Oh Jesus Christ. The refs had nothing to do with this outcome. This game was past being one sided

Correct. Were they bad calls? IMO yes, but hard to bail out tight coverage.

They didn’t think our TE could have made the catch even without the contact.

Tracy had his arm back trying to get separation. Hard to bail him out on a one handed try when the guy wasn’t restricting his other arm.

 

[Willwin40]

You have to be blind if you didn’t see all those missed holding calls and pi on the part of Ohio State. They know they can get away with it so they do it!

 

[Pdiddy]

Keep cashing those paychecks PJ

 

[Gopher1968]

Yeah, ridiculous. It's so bad that OSU is pulling people out of the stands to play yet some dumbasses on here are pointing to the bad calls

 

[GophersInIowa]

That doesn’t mean what you think it does.

 

[GopherGrit]

Gopherhole put out a Tweet about an egregious no-call.

Ridiculous!!

 

[stocker08]

Read the bitching about the holding and lousy refs. It's ridiculous

Posting about bad/missed calls isn't a rebuttal to what GII posted. Nobody has said this game would be close if it were called better.

 

[chestrockwell]

The gophers just don't have any players. There's not one man out there who is as good or better than his counterpart on osu.
I have real concerns about the future

 

[USAF]

That doesn’t mean what you think it does.

LOL.
Okay, sport

 

[Unregistered User]

7 pass attempts this half

 

[Gopher1968]

And here it is !!!

Maybe we should consider holding a lot more. Our OL has cratered not just this game the last several years. 65 kinda sucks.

 

[phifo]

Oh my god no one is saying the refs were the reason for this pasting shut up

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

I think they should be a perennial top 25 program.

Why? Because of all the rabid support? The sold out 80k stadium every home game? The salary pool for the asst coaches?
