very makable fg at purdue

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Good for them. They deserve a win.

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

Congrats purdue. Nice job.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Nice!

 

[thailleagle]

Go Purdue!!!

 

[westcoastgopher11]

That loss pretty much puts a stake in Iowa's bowl chances. Needing two wins @Michigan and home versus Nebraska isn't going to happen.

Wow. I did not think that Iowa would not make a bowl game, but I think your prediction is right. How crazy would it be for us to make a bowl game and not Iowa.

 

[Parski1]

YES!!! No Bowl game for Iowa. Maybe Rucker will De-commit now.

 

[GO4INLALALAND]

Will this win save Joe Tiller's job?

Will this win save Joe Tiller's job?

The question is will this loss put Kirk Ferentz on the Hot Seat?

Purdue could very realistically salvage this thing and make a bowl game, @Illinois and home to Indiana to end things 6-6.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

So does this mean that a win for the Gophers has us locked in to the Florida Bowl with Iowa now likely not getting to 6 and us having the tie breaker over Purdue?

 

[thailleagle]

Anybody got a working link to the game? All 4 of Firstrow's links are to the wrong channel...

 

[e.bigelow]

I'm so ready for this game! We better not come out flat!

 

[thailleagle]

Link? Anyone?

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

Link? Anyone?

All of my regular go-to links are showing me tennis right now. =(

And not even good tennis. some sort of foreign tennis-blooper arrangement.

 

[thailleagle]

All of my regular go-to links are showing me tennis right now. =(

Firstrow has 4 links of the same link showing overseas sports...

 

[e.bigelow]

Ugh. ANgst.

 

[e.bigelow]

Really? Line up right. Let's go.

 

[thailleagle]

This sucks... I can't even watch the game, smh...

 

[WhoFellDownTheGopherHole?]

A few minute delay, but looks like the links are working now. At least on vipbox anyway.

 

[thailleagle]

Now the stream works but it's a whole 5 minutes behind... guess I can't complain for free...

 

[drunkenMNgopher]

Drive stalls at midfield with a couple passes sailed by Nelson. Punt downed at the 9.

 

[e.bigelow]

Alright. Let's go D.

 

[drunkenMNgopher]

Holy hell terrible tackling to start the day on defense

 

[drunkenMNgopher]

Flea flicker to the 30. Ugh!

 

[e.bigelow]

Geuss we don't call holding penalties on flee-flickers.

 

[GG07]

Troy stoudemire has been poor this year.

 

[drunkenMNgopher]

This start is horrid. A good throw would've been a td on 1st. Thank you Hill for making a good tackle to force a 3rd down. And we jump offsides to make it 3rd and 3. Dammit Hageman! And a 1st down and goal at the 8. Great start D!

 

[thailleagle]

Ugh...
