***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT IOWA, FLOYD OF ROSEDALE, IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[bga1]

Is this a record setting start? Has any NCAA D1 team ever been down 31-0 in 18 minutes?

 

[GreasyGopher]

How is it possible to be so utterly unprepared?

Thoroughly outcoached and outplayed in all phases.

Iowa may not have much more NIL money than MN but they make up for it by paying and keeping their good assistant coaches (I.e. Phil Parker).

 

[Some guy]

That was bad but this team is better and just beat a top 25 team.

But that top 25 team was fake top 25

 

[btowngopher]

This is what happens when you show up at Iowa and play like you did at Cal.

They’re playing way worse than they did vs Cal.

 

[mnhoopboy]

Mediocrity is painful. But not painful enough to make any meaningful change.

 

[saintpaulguy]

I'm out.

 

[IceBoxGopher]

Way better under Mason. PJ has a water down conference and extreme mediocrity. Mason had kind of shitty defenses and an inability to close out a few games but Boy, it was fine from time to time.

I think Mason certainly deserves respect for what he did with the program and the Big Ten was good then, but I don't think you can say the conference is that watered down now. The conference has won the last two national championships, James Franklin, despite being fired, had Penn State as a strong program, Iowa has been consistent, Illinois has been brought to a good place by Bielema, and now Indiana is a contender.

When's the last time we got blown out by a comparable opponent like this? Don't count OSU cuz it's OSU.

Comparable? How?

 

[tikited]

Which Iowa player is Drake going to throw it to?

 

[Gold Vision]

1 total yard. Down 31-0.

 

[Border Gopher]

We might have a chance in this game if Mason took over the coaching for Iowa.

Lmao

 

[phifo]

Geez I would say get us to halftime but we’ve got over 10 minutes left. They may hit 55 by halftime

 

[mkAz]

First down!!

 

[disco]

Every player and coach on this team should be publicly shamed for this performance.

 

[Stuff]

Lanier sighting

 

[Rowthatboat]

Fleck is Frentz’s bitch

 

[Mr. 131]

Dude points for his first down when we are down 30. What a dope.

 

[howeda7]

DT with a concussion. Great.

 

[GoGophersUMN]

I don't care if we win out and finish 10-3 including a bowl, losses like this are unacceptable and set the program way back.

What recruit is going to want to come here after seeing this? Who is going to want to spend big NIL on a team that does this? If the tickets weren't already sold, how many fans would show up next week after this?

Sometimes you're going to get outplayed but this is much more than a gap in talent.

 

[USAF]

Blowout in progress.

I was in early on this one

 

[Stuff]

Fleck took DT out no use getting him injured in this blow out.

 

[Some guy]

Is this a record setting start? Has any NCAA D1 team ever been down 31-0 in 18 minutes?

the gophers were up 42-0 after 17:46 like 50 days ago

Do you even watch the games?

 

[howeda7]

Go for it.

 

[mkAz]

This OL is pathetic

 

[FlaGopher23]

This is the kind of game that coaches get fired after, but not at Minnesota.

 

[Nax5]

Comparable? How?

Idk. Recruiting rank. Record? Their record is typically very similar to ours every year. We do always lose to them I suppose.

 

[GringaGopher]

It’s worth watching from now to the finish to see if PJ of Minnesota turtles up like a pussy or tries to fight back at least a little.

Agree. They are getting humiliated and I want to see if they show some fight

 

[tikited]

Marshall isn't good.

 

[phifo]

Love Drake but this is tough to watch

 

[Gopherchase]

Simply not true.
Mason played 4 non conference cupcakes and went 2-6 to make a bowl.
He had two winning big ten records in 10 seasons


This is not a defense of fleck or this game. But you can’t just make shit up about Mason

Short memories.
