Another frustrating loss. Ohio State sucks.
Gophers need to win soon or this season could go down the shi**er fast. Feels like they're finally getting worn down. Next to zero help from the bench. Now 2-4 in the Big Boy Pants bucket.

ROAD TO SELECTION SUNDAY, MN – I’m feeling a bonus weekend Field of 68 projection.
The SEC is cooking with a season-high 11 teams in the field, but three of those (Missouri, Texas, Texas A&M) are among the “last 4 in”. The top-heavy Big Ten – down to a season-low seven bids – has Iowa in the...
