Losses to Michigan and THE Ohio State are expected. There are a few bad losses in here (Bowling Green, New Mexico State), and some good ones (Auburn, 2-2 with Penn State). It looks pretty good generally. The only real black mark is 5-19 against Iowa and Wisconsin. That’s pretty...

Michigan cruises to 31-3 lead by 3rd quarter and tacks on another TD to get to 38 in the 4th, but the Gophers manage in garbage time what no other team has so far: score more than 7 against Michigan. Michigan 38 Gophers 10.

Good to see the celebration. We can be grumpy fans all we want, still lingering on Northwestern. But it’s great that the team isn’t!

Every B1G west game plus MSU (the 5 non-Michigan/OSU games) is about a coin flip. None of these teams is very good. I think we win at least 2. If we can win 3 of 5, we’ll be going bowling at 6-6. If we get a bowl game—any bowl game—and beat just one of Iowa or Wisconsin, that’s a passing C- on...

Any team in the B1G west can realistically beat any other team in the B1G west. Am I confident we beat Iowa this year? No. But wouldn’t shock me either. Iowa is not very good.

Do they not provide t-shirts? I didn’t think “[color] outs” worked all that well otherwise. I don’t think it’s going to look so great against a less interesting (not to say bad!) team after arguably the worst Gopher loss in a decade or more.

PJ was one of the hottest candidates when we hired him. We hired Tubby Smith. Those are both hires in my relatively short time as a Gopher fan. The notion that Minnesota can’t hire desirable coaches is just wrong. That said, I wouldn’t fire PJ at this point. He took over, improved the team in...

Be positive. There’s almost no way this can be worse than a 21-point fourth quarter meltdown against Northwestern.

I’m… surprised… NBC wants us anywhere near a primetime slot the way we’ve played, even a “rivalry” game against a media darling. This might be Iowa at Penn State 2.0.

I’m with you OP, in that while I’m a diehard Gopher fan, I’m also a B1G and CFB fan more broadly. I happen to live in Lincoln so I loosely follow the Huskers and will cheer for them against anyone but the Gophers. I also like following the Jacks at the FCS level. These kind of maddening losses...

After sleeping on it… I’m glad Minnesota isn’t a “national brand” because this would otherwise be painted all over the national media, and it’s not. That’s my depressing solace. We’re irrelevant enough that this epic collapse barely registers beyond the Minnesota and Northwestern fanbases.

It’s a bad day when I agree with a Badger site.

He had a decent game. But needs to learn not to fire rockets on every pass—that last OT pass to the end zone being the most costly (still should’ve caught it though).

Saying the Gophers control their season is like me saying I control my ability to make a billion dollars.

I knew it was all over when this happened. A bad omen for the football gods.

So bad that I will not be watching any other games this year.

We should be behind Indiana and Nebraska. Yeah, I know we beat Nebraska, but they’ve actually looked like a competent football team since benching Simms.

Well, I think we can shut this thread down.

F. But not “I scored a 58 on my difficult calculus test,” but more like “I forgot how to read.”

Don’t fire him immediately, but his seat has to at least be a little warm. If there isn’t notable improvement by early next season, there’s little reason to think things will improve beyond an occasional 6-8 win season, especially in the new B1G. We’ve looked like garbage in 3/4 games this...
