***OFFICIAL IOWA AT MINNESOTA FLOYD OF ROSEDALE IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[FredCoxRocks]

I’m outta here. Thanks everyone for making this evening a little less painful than what it should be.

 

[NorthernLakesGopher]

Beer is good.

 

[Dano564]

Really? The staff has proven nothing with recruiting defensive players.

And what were you expecting at this point?

 

[howeda7]

At the rate the virus is increasing, Midwest in particular, simple binary exponentiation means there is probably only a game or two left of this, tops.

I don't want to see the bad things Wisconsin will do to us...

 

[Spoofin]

We tied with them in the 3rd Quarter.

 

[disco]

Frankly, I'm surprised they're even trying. At most, I expected some sort of bubble with 4-5 games for TV in Indy or something. Regular bowl games are about fans and tourism money.

More than that, a lot of them are about cheap content for ESPN and their associated networks. Look at the stands for a lot of minor bowls. Under 20,000, but people watch football on TV no matter what.

 

[OddStack]

On the bright side...our D scoring avg. will improve!

 

[scools12]

Fleck overall win %: 57%; Big ten win %: 42%
Pitino overall: 54%; Big Ten: 37%

Pitino only slightly worse. Strikingly similar. By the end of this season they may be identical.

Fleck’s third year was far better than anything Pitino has ever done.

 

[howeda7]

Beer is good.

To alcohol, the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems.-Homer Simpson.

 

[Dano564]

Of the last 7 points scored in the series, we scored all of the points.

Nah. People need something to watch while in lockdown.

No players or coaches have died yet. F it.

Once you’ve had it, you’re good to go.

 

[60's Guy]

Well that disgusting embarrassment of a game is over.

It must be the train wreck syndrome...just gotta look. Should have been doing anything else but watching this. Arghhh

We tied with them in the 3rd Quarter.

And I think it was pretty much accomplished by design.

 

[howeda7]

Yes. But all the more reason not to even pretend with the "Bowls" this year and just send everyone to a TV studio bubble.

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

time for star wars

 

[Replacement Gopher]

Minor Fleck decisions like kicking the field goal and not putting in another QB in garbage time when Morgan has looked horrendous are particularly infuriating

Post of the day!!!

 

[Bruno22]

Seriously just be honest PJ. Get pissed off.

When he got pissed off, it cost the team 15 yards of being in enemy territory.

 

[OddStack]

Of the last 7 points scored in the series, we scored all of the points.

like Brewster said..."We want to score last."

 

[MplsGopher]

Longest win streak in the history of the series, now belongs to Iowa.

21 of last 28?

This is not a rivalry.

This is Minnesota-Purdue. Minnesota-NW. who gives a flying F? Gophers always lose.

 

[Geneva Lake Badger]

Fleck was waaaaay too cordial in his parting handshake with Ferentz.

 

[Dano564]

I know why. I've coached LBs 26 years....they aren't very good. I was excited for Oliver, but not Sari-Marin

You know more about it than I do then.
But from a quantity standpoint, Oliver, Sori-Marin, Rush. I think that's Fleck's first class.

If we are going to say 1 or 2 of them suck and the other is injured, therefore all defenders he's recruited suck, that's a bit inconsistent or at best, premature.

Do we give credit for recruiting transfers like Williamson last year or does that not count?

If you are telling me Gordon and the other redshirt freshman and true freshman also stink, and will for the next 3-4 years, great. You see things I can't predict at this point.

 

[60's Guy]

Fleck’s third year was far better than anything Pitino has ever done.

Pitino won a national title his first year and Coach of the Year in a different year. Slow down.

 

[MplsGopher]

Fleck was waaaaay too cordial in his parting handshake with Ferentz.

Hahahaha. Just bitch slaps the old man.

That would’ve been worth watching the game.

 

[Grant]

Are we a warm weather team?

 

[Dano564]

Fleck was waaaaay too cordial in his parting handshake with Ferentz.

Looking petty after getting your ass kicked looks worse.
Looking petty will always look worse.

 

[disco]

Yes. But all the more reason not to even pretend with the "Bowls" this year and just send everyone to a TV studio bubble.

You could literally play 75-80% of the bowls in a TV studio and it wouldn't matter.
The Fargodome is kind of like a TV studio, and isn't being used. Send them all to Fargo!

 

[bonin21]

Pitino won a national title his first year and Coach of the Year in a different year. Slow down.

Is this guy talking about the JV national title like it's actually something to be proud of?

 

[Rowthatboat]

It really sucks to be a Gopher fan right now! Come on —6 in a row—8 of the last 9! How pathetic!

 

[Ewert86PC]

Pitino won a national title his first year and Coach of the Year in a different year. Slow down.

The Gophers were the 65th best team in the country, not National Champions. The NIT is for also-rans and cash-grabbers.

 

[Grant]

Guys we are still going to be bowl eligible.

 

[disco]

When he got pissed off, it cost the team 15 yards of being in enemy territory.

Second time in two seasons he's done that stupid shit.
