This feels a lot like the Purdue game. Should’ve won except for some dumb mistakes.

We haven’t beaten a team with a winning record this season. And PJ is winless against one of our two primary rivals. PJ’s seat should be heating up now.

You can come back from 10-0 against Nebraska. Not happening against Iowa.

The state’s northern border isn’t bad.

Playing Northwestern is like playing a service academy. Are they objectively good? Not usually. Are they gritty and going to make things difficult? Very likely. I don’t think I’ll ever overlook a team, let alone a B1G team, after Bowling Green.

Charlotte is nice, though a little sterile and not super exciting. But NC is beautiful. Easy day trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains if the weather is decent.

Pinstripe vs Duke would suck. Cold weather baseball stadium game against a non-football school. I’d selfishly like the Mayo Bowl vs Wake since I’m an alum of both schools. Can’t lose! Or can’t win…not sure which.

This is my guess too. Don’t think TN stays in top 4 this week after getting blown out. I’m just hoping we avoid yet another multiple SEC-team playoff. There should not be one conference taking up half the spots when there are more “power” conferences than there are spots. And if you can’t win...

This thread title inspired me to try some optimism, so here we go: -We seem to always have one fluky loss each year to a team that isn’t that good or is downright bad. Purdue seems to have been that game—awful dropped TD pass turned pick, missed kick (kicks?), other things not going our way, MO...

The only remaining game I feel confident about is Northwestern. This is the most Minnesota of Minnesota seasons. Don’t think I’d ever been higher on the Gophers than after the Michigan State blow out. The wheels have fallen off. Only realistic way to even partially salvage this season is to...

I’m on record here as someone who saw Ben as an AA-type hire given the other highly qualified options who were supposedly interested, the local media push to increase diversity in UMN leadership/coaching, and Ben’s relative lack of experience. BUT, I also said that I hoped I was wrong and that...

As a huge Spurs fan I lost it when he said his style inspiration is Tim Duncan, and his quiet personality and game seems to match him too. Love this kid already. Welcome to Minnesota!

What a selfish kid—waiting until school is over? Doesn’t he know a bunch of middle-aged message board posters are refreshing every 5 minutes?!

@Penn State - L Rutgers - W @Nebraska - Toss up Northwestern - W Iowa - Toss up @Wisconsin - Toss up So worse case is 6-6, best case 9-3. But My prediction is we beat one of Iowa/Wisconsin and lose at Nebraska, putting us at 7-5.

Today showed we just aren’t very good. We can beat bad teams but just don’t have the depth or talent to beat good teams. This is a 7-5 type season, give or take a win.

Richard was not a great coach here but I still can’t help but like him.

Thank you. We should feel better than the vast majority of programs right now. We lost a disappointing game to a conference opponent—so what? That describes almost every team every year not named Bama, UGA, Clemson, or Ohio State. We can still have a great season.

Now that I’m more emotionally stable… We played without our best player. We had some fluky, awfully timed mistakes (the end zone pick, the missed FG, a couple dropped would be picks). Purdue is probably better than advertised (especially their D), plus Spoilermaker game. We didn’t lose by...

Boggles my mind that 17 AP voters don’t find the Gophers to be among the top 25 teams given how thoroughly dominating we’ve been so far. Especially coming off of a 9-win season. If that doesn’t prove some anti-Minnesota bias in the media—whether intentional or not—I’m not sure what does.

Our stadium is great. I particularly love the exterior—the classic brick bowl design with some glass/modern features. I’ve only seen games at two other B1G stadiums: Maryland and Nebraska. Maryland’s stadium was nothing special. I like Memorial Stadium at Nebraska, but part of that may be the...
