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

[GringaGopher]

Why. Tell me you aren't of the ilk that thinks "these are just kids." If this game was at home, they deserve to be booed off the field. I will say what I've said for years. FBS football is big time, big money entertainment. If you want to play the "just kids" card, you should probably watch D3 football.

No, I’m the type of fan who thinks it’s a game not life or death. I’m a long time season ticket holder and fully understand the big money involved but most of these athletes are not making big money. I personally don’t boo student athletes . That being said this is worst 1st half of football and hard to understand how we can play this poorly after beating NB last week.

 

[disco]

I still think they go 7-5 or 8-4
But 6-6 wouldn’t shock me

Gophers are closer to the bottom third than the top third but probably middle third

We're pretty much on the same page on this.

 

[Some guy]

Darius Taylor "won't be back". I'd say it's near 100% he's out next week too then.

Why?

 

[tikited]

I have no doubt Ferentz is going to try and score 80

Bigger insult would be to put the 2nd and 3rd string teams in to start the 2nd half.

 

[BilldGopher]

Who knew all I-O-W-A needed was a good QB.

Ferentz should be fired for malfeasance for not fixing that for like 5 years.

 

[BTChamp]

I have no doubt Ferentz is going to try and score 80

And do it in mercy mode.

 

[Gopherchase]

They'd just hire another MAC coach, and the cycle goes on.

This is the 2025 Big Ten we have more money than God we can afford to pay for a big-time coach. Even how big of a wussy I think Fleck is he’s not gonna get fired but the thought of us bringing in some MAC coach if he did is silly.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

Iowa has 31 points on 186 yards of offense. Iowa always beats us on special teams and defense .., never changes. PJ is great in so many ways, but such a mediocre to barely competent game day coach. Iowa is kicking us around worse than Ohio State did.

 

[Ski-UT-Mah]

Crockpot chicken sums it up today

 

[PeoplesFront]

Played the last 6 minutes to a draw.

 

[tikited]

Why?

Head injury is what was mentioned earlier. That would almost guarantee missing next week if true.

 

[gopherdudepart2]

Something is weird behind the scenes, Iowa a good team but the Gophers looked checked out after the first series.

 

[LeftofThaDial]

It’s a little shocking just how unathletic Drake is.

 

[Tully55]

Are you sure that wasn’t Joe Salem in 1983?

No, definitely Cal Stoll. His first 3 years an MN(1972-1974), the Gophers lost to Neb by scores of
49-0
48-7
54-0

 

[howeda7]

Soft. Let him go.

I'm OK letting him leave after the season. We can't afford big NIL to guys who can't stay on the field.

 

[Some guy]

Head injury is what was mentioned earlier. That would almost guarantee missing next week if true.

Disagree with that
He might be out but that doesn’t almost guarantee anything

He didn’t even get hit in the head in the play.
If it’s head it could be from a practice and he is day 5 of return to play protocol and he didn’t pass during contact. So tomorrow repeats day 5.

There are a lot of possibilities


I’d bet on him not playing because he hardly ever plays but not because he isn’t returning today

 

[gopherfan007]

PJ Fleck is an absolute fraud this team absolutely is a joke

I'm glad people are catching on. .I've been trying to say this since 2018 when I worked for the team lmao

 

[howeda7]

Are we sure it's injury related?

I don't see how anything happened with him that would warrant discipline. And they took his helmet. Almost certainly a concussion

 

[phifo]

Bigger insult would be to put the 2nd and 3rd string teams in to start the 2nd half.

They might score 80 with them. We are just playing like crap today

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

Silver lining. This will allow me to get a jump start on tomorrow's yard work.

And Oregon will be over confident.

 

[USAF]

So...you disagree that he won't play next week.
But you'd bet he won't play next week.

The King Of Bad Takes strikes again.

 

[WAGopher]

It’s a little shocking just how unathletic Drake is.

I swear he looks faster backpedaling after the snap than running forward trying to escape a sack.

 

[Gopherchase]

Why?

If they took his helmet away and it’s a concussion it’s almost at least two weeks minimum. I’d actually be fine if he never suited again let’s just ride the guys who show up.

congrats on being illiterate

 

[Gilthorp57]

Largest comeback ever was 35 points. PJ still alive…

With these slow receivers and horrific Oline, lmaooooo

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

And do it in mercy mode.

Running Clock?

Ten run rule after 5?

You forgot the PJ factor. History says otherwise.

 

[Raindog4]

I don’t know if you’ve been checking my thread but I predict a bowl even if they lose out

I have not but I appreciate you letting me know. What a relief. We probably get an opponent that gives the coach a fighting chance to maintain his string of bowl wins. Let’s all do our best to keep our oars in the water.

 

[goldenboy]

Time to burn the WWW uniform combo and promise “never again.”

 

[Some guy]

A concussion is not two weeks minimum first of all

Second of all we don’t know if he suffered a concussion or is already in a return from concussion protocol and failed. If that is a case he is contact tomorrow and if it feels good he’s cleared and if he has symptoms he does it again Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday. Etc

Considering he didn’t get hit in the head, if he is concussed I suspect it is from something that didn’t occur today
