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

Don’t really like playing for a FG after getting the turnover.

I get Fleck is conservative but take a deep shot there.

 

[gopherguy06]

Why not hurry up and run it again?

They called it short so 4th down and would have ran the clock down either way

Kirk talking to the ref on his way off the field. Probably thanking him for the spot.

Did he stuff a $100 into his belt?

Damn, I wanna be happy drinking tonight, not sad drinking.

I’ll take an exact replay of the first half in the second.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

His answer was correct, that's all we can ask for.

I was thinking more how it will bother Face the Facts.

 

[Tully55]

Please

I will when the Gophers are carrying the

You're pathetic

"Good play call by Mike and Matt" - Fleck

Is that why we can't get plays in? They're flipping coins to see who's turn it is?

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Extend him another 7 years

You’re very very bitter. I feel bad for you. Imagine being this unhappy when your team is winning.

 

[Torres9]

Do we even like touchdowns?

 

[GophersInIowa]

Great to have a lead but lots of missed opportunities.

 

[CurveballJesus]

Interesting, PJ just said the TD was a good call by Mike and Matt. Does that mean there were some play calling changes, or is PJ trying to deflect all blame from Sanford from previous performances.

 

[Word]

You mean on 4th and 1? PJ played the clock out properly assuming the first down wasn’t made, IMO.

with the bad spot and no review, it was all we could do there.

I’m saying go for it.

Trinketts?

 

[Wally]

There wasn’t that much going on PJ. It’s your job to manage those situations and find a way to get 7, not settle for 3 every time because things get hectic.

Maybe they should have thrown for endzone there, but you get the first, clock stops for chains and you get two shots at the endzone.

If only we hadn't wasted a timeout earlier, that is what hurt us.

He’s fine inside of 35 just don’t ask him to make it from 50. Of course he does miss the occasional extra point just to prove he’s a real Minnesota kicker.

 

[johnnybb]

What's Fleck's record leading at the half, and will the commentators talk about it?

 

[howeda7]

How is there not a measurement there?

Terrible spot

Would it have mattered if it was a 1st down? We end up with a FG either way IMO.

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

A division one football team that doesn’t even try to score a touchdown in that situation, wow!

 

[CurveballJesus]

with the bad spot and no review, it was all we could do there.

Ref had them with the first down his whole way down the line, then moved his foot six inches back right before he put the ball down

 

[MplsGopher]

AINT AINT NO MERCY … AINT AINT AINT NO MERCY

hunnnh huuuuhhh!!!!

Bingo

Would it have mattered if it was a 1st down? We end up with a FG either way IMO.

Could have thrown the ball and gotten more mad at Morgan.

 

[Grant]

If we are positive on turnovers in second half we should win. You would think Padilla has one bad int in him.

 

[fan of Ray Williams]

And still sexy, per my wife.

If we were losing, I would probably said something stupid. Thank you Football Gods!

 

[MaroonShaft]

You’re very very bitter. I feel bad for you. Imagine being this unhappy when your team is winning.

Some of us are happy, just cynical because of the inexplicable ways we lost to BG and Illinois. I think a little bitterness makes sense.

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

Would it have mattered if it was a 1st down? We end up with a FG either way IMO.

Yes, it would of mattered because the clock would of stopped and the Gophers could’ve spiked the ball and they could of ran two plays to try to get a touchdown.

 

[#2Gopher]

I’m saying go for it.

Good thing no one listened to you!
