Hotels in Detroit cost $400/night?

 

[stocker08]

Yes, the upside is very thin here…

Extend the bowl winning streak!!!

 

[Ski-U-Mahed]

Will Fleck become the first big ten coach to lose to bowling Green twice? Stay tuned.

Both of them without bedbugs.

I was curious, so I looked it up:

according to google maps, driving time from Minneapolis to Detroit is estimated at just under 10 hours. 693 miles.

 

[Tech Machine]

To be expected, extra practice is good, hopefully a win or it may not be an overall + situation. The Freshmen who have played are not freshman anymore and hopefully there will be some noticeable improvements.

Paralyzed by fear is scary.

I was looking at driving to Detroit, and from there up to my cabin in N. Wisconsin. But not sure I want to drive all the way through the UP in winter.

I interviewed for a job once at a radio station in the UP. they told me the winters there "weren't that bad." didn't get the job, so it was a moot point.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Tickets through the school are $100

I love the U but I am not propping up our ticket sales for that ridiculous price. I know they don’t pick the price but that is just robbery.

I went to this bowl in 2020 for $10

 

[GopherVotary]

Hotels in Detroit cost $400/night?

$150 for the room, $250 for a beer and bag of peanuts from the mini bar.

 

[SHGopher]

Well that worked out well for Gophers nation.

A baseball park has been complained about for a year. So people got what they want there. Airfare is not bad to Michigan. It's winnable

I am now wondering if Wisconsin gets killed by LSU in a second bowl treat or do they maybe run the ball to embarrass LSU yet again this season.

 

[Kmorrmp32]

Embarrassing

Screw that $149 flight....I can save a dollar driving....

 

[disco]

Embarrassing

So you're embarassed? You're walking around hanging your head in shame? Can't bear to show your face in public?

 

[short ornery norwegian]

I have it from a highly questionable source that, when PJ heard the bowl game was against Bowling Green, he said

"I will have my vengeance- in this life or the next!"

 

[NateDawgUM]

PJ is looking forward to revenge for the Bowling Green Massacre.

 

[Iceland12]

Embarrassing

Don't be so hard on yourself.

 

[AZGopher8]

Embarrassing

We are 5-7. Embarassing already happened.

 

[60's Guy]

PJ is smiling...he has an excuse to run the ball 80% of the time in the bowl game.
Maybe 85%

 

[SHGopher]

Georgia 13.5 point favorites over FSU.

LSU 10 points over Wisconsin.

Tennessee 8 points over Iowa.

Ohio State 6.5 point favorites over Missouri.

Texas 4.5 over Washington.

Penn State 3.5 over Ole Miss.

Michigan 1.5 over Alabama.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Hope they win. No room for bitching on game placement this year, just take advantage of the extra practice time and enjoy one more game with your teammates

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Quite possible that Phoenix didn't want a 5-7 team.....while Detroit was happy to fill in a Big Ten team.

Also....believe that the Quick Lane Bowl has a $2 million payout vs like $1.6 million for the Guaranteed Rate Bowl. Could have been a factor.

Last time we went to Detroit as a 5-7 team we won a one-score game over a Michigan directional school. This team arguably is worse than that one especially since we have more opt outs and far more transfer portal guys these days. Leidner actually was a decent QB in that season (probably his best) and now we have a QB who only has played a few downs over the last two seasons.

I'd say Bowling Green at the Quick Lane Bowl is about our speed and, as others have said, at least we have the chance of payback for that 2021 game.
