All Things 2025 Playoffs and Bowl Thread

[Some guy]

You had the Gophers at 10-2, Mr King Of Bad Takes.

40

 

[MirandaB]

Mendoza is just so darn good.

 

[Some guy]

I am perfectly ok with Dan lanning getting totally punked in this one though

Game plan totally ridiculous

Keep leaving DBs playing press man on islands and Indiana just too good.

It’s like he thought Indiana was a fluke

Sounds weird, but Oregon has 59 seconds to drive the field and try have any semblance of a chance in this game

If Oregon doesn’t get 3 they’re going to be down 42-7 the next time they get the ball

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Just utter destruction by Indiana. Have to say they’ve been one of the most impressive teams I’ve seen in my years of watching college football.

I feel like a total dumbass thinking Oregon could win

 

[USAF]

This all starts with the head coach believing, and getting his team to believe, they can win.

I feel like a total dumbass thinking Oregon could win

I wouldn’t have picked them but I thought they’d show up!

 

[LeftofThaDial]

I feel a little bad for normal, non-bandwagon Oregon fans. You have the rich benefactor, nil and open transfers become legal, and you still can't close the deal.

How deflating to just hand Indiana 14 points.

It’s kind of hard to believe with their $$$ reputation, but Oregon has the smallest and most “homegrown” roster in the playoffs.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Oregon willing to trade 3 touchdowns for 3 points. Doesn’t seem to be a winning formula.

get the idea to kick to try get any degree of momentum, but you probably need to know if your kicker has any degree of the leg needed to get it there
Would’ve been a career long by 5 yards

I don’t think they’re willing or able

I think they’re just overwhelmed

 

[Border Gopher]

Indiana has Oregon on the ropes just like we had Northwestern State earlier in the year

 

[#2Gopher]

Much continuity with the assistant coaches making mega bucks as well. Indiana clearly a machine to be reckon with. Seems though, something always happens to bring a team down to earth.

Mendoza is just so darn good.

Hello Vegas

 

[Bring back the Axe]

Indiana is just getting while the getting's good before we get back on their schedule.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Danny B. Watching the game with the family entertaining them stories of IU and amazement of this season. Lovely.

 

[GopherGuy82]

Mendoza with five td passes in the playoffs and three incompletions. Great stat.

It’s crazy Indiana was terrible for decades. Worst in the big ten.
Gophers lucked out being in the west: but MN has played Indiana 3 times since 2009. 3 times in 17 years.
Now that they’re a unit the gophers will play them 4 times in the next 8 years if the scheduling model as currently structured holds.

 

[WindyCityGopher]

This feels like a 1980s Super Bowl blowout.

 

[upnorthkid]

Glad to see Oregon not quit. An ass kicking, but at least they’re still going for jt

3 touchdowns
3 two point conversions
And a field goal

And they’re tied


***assuming Indiana is shut out the rest of the way

they say a 35 point lead is the most dangerous in football

 

[Some guy]

they say a 35 point lead is the most dangerous in football

Coincidentally it would tie the largest comeback in college football history

 

[beavergopher]

Glen Mason could still lose this!!

Mason never blew a 35 point lead

Look up, KOBT. That's the joke whooshing over your head.

 

[beavergopher]

42 points

Indiana's band looks better too. Traditional, not the silly Oregon band look.
