Describe the surreal loss to Illinois in 1 sentence

[WoodburyTim]

Just disgusted by this crap and PJ’s enablers.

 

[FinnGopher]

I just watched a rerun of 100 other Gopher losses in my lifetime.

 

[Spoofin]

Gophers do Gopher things

 

[Ignatius L Hoops]

Exiting the game, the finish was relived as we walked past a pick-up that had left 4th street, sped over the embankment, through the shrubs and come to rest against the Williams Arena patio wall.

 

[BilldGopher]

Since we're being surrealistic...A picture can be as good as a sentence...



But for a sentence:

Thanks Gophers for a full laugh-out-loud when the Illini scored to go ahead...

 

[Torres9]

When you’ve lived as long as I have, you’ve seen a couple dozen of these.

 

[TruthSeeker]

Standard operating procedure.

 

[GopherVotary]

When you’ve lived as long as I have, you’ve seen a couple dozen of these.

Yeah, this one doesn’t even crack the top twenty.

 

[BTChamp]

Win out and we’ll be golden

BUT…..not likely with AK and Fluck ball

Fluck ball. For some reason I see that sticking.....

 

[GopherPoke]

Gophers QB throws like Duran but with different results, and Ignatius L. Hoops relives the loss in the funniest way possible.

 

[MZBKA1]

"Fleck recruits at the same level as Illinois and lost to them -- why are you surprised?"

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

Offense still can’t close out a one score game.

 

[Buck_Buchanan]

I’ll go for 2 and out think myself!

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Scored to quick.

 

[bonin21]

Least surprising thing I've witnessed all week

 

[Roland Brooks]

Embarrassing

 

[gopherdudepart2]

Shat to bed again.

 

[Sparlimb]

Shit Sandwich

 

[Some guy]

Lost to a horrible NW team so who's surprised?

Yup.


My sentence
Average team loses to another average team in excruciating fashion

 

[Roland Brooks]

Phil Like

 

[Tim from Rosemount]

We need a new OC.

Fire, Harbaugh, and give Matt Simon the job. Or bringing somebody else who wants to “play to win“

 

[EG#9]

How does this keep happening to Minnesota?

or

We are cursed.

or

Was this the last time we have a chance to win something notable (as much as B1G West Division title is notable) in my/our lifetimes?

 

[Great Plains Gopher]

Back-up quarterback comes off bench in last 2 minutes and tosses three uncanny passes for a total of 85 yards and a TD and Gophers lose another one that seemed in the bag.

 

[Gophers7NatTitlesBadgers0]

Trip to Indy pretty much gone!

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

Ugh!

 

[Marky Dit]

For a program that finds surreal ways to lose games, we just let a back up QB go 83 yards in 3 plays and we lost to the fat coach for a 10th time.

FAMILIAR.

 

[Texan Gopher]

I don't need a sentence. Here is the description in 1 word....


Expected.


Here is another description with just 1 word....

Normal.



This is who we are. We are destined to be a below average to slightly above average average team. Our "mountain top" is simply a base camp on a mountain where either teams continue to go up. We are at a base camp that seems to be as high as we can hike.

 

[DCinOK]

Simply grotesque.

Most teams have a backup QB who is better than our starter.
