They Have to be 11-2 in Bowl Games !
That can't be right. I remember watching the
Texas Tech game. The Gophers had a
38-7 lead with 5 minutes to play in the 3rd Quarter. Nobody has
ever lost a lead like that.
In the
Virgina game, Minnesota had a
21-7 lead with a few seconds to go in the First Half. The vaunted Gopher running attack
couldn't have coughed-up that lead!
Then they beat
Alabama, Oregon and Arkansas.
Two years before the Arkansas game, they had a
24-8 Halftime lead against
North Carolina in Ft. Lauderdale. They
must have won that one. Hell, Tellis Redmon ran for
TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-SIX YARDS in that one!
Against
Oregon at the Sun Bowl in 1999, Minnesota had a 3 point lead with two minutes to go.
Billy Cokerham had already been named the
MVP FOR GOSH SAKES! Jike, you're telling me we lost that one too?!!!!!!!
No, the Gophers beat
Clemson in 1985,
Maryland in 1977 and
UCLA in the
Rose Bowl in 1962.
The other Bowl Game they lost was against
Washington in that same
Rose Bowl in 1961.
My calculations make them 11-2 in Bowl Games.
Give Washington and
Kansas their just due. They beat the Gophers fair and square
