Why are defensive starters still playing?
I don’t think he was talking about the 2nd half specifically. He was talking about what kind of team they are, but then also said they have to be able to get the ball downfield.Did he really say that?
Why the eff would he want to shorten a game he is losing?
And you’re telling me he loses 90% of games he trails?
I was being so negative the last hour that I tried to find a ray of hope! We could lose every one of these games, especially at Nebraska, since they do have 4-5 star players and might be playing very loose.I recall similar sentiments last week. They are empty wishes. This is starting to feel like 1982.
You are never wrong.Looking like GH is going to be unbearable for another week.
Step back from the ledge....people.
In 1982, we thought Northwestern was a joke and they beat us. The precedent standsI was being so negative the last hour that I tried to find a ray of hope! We could love every one of these games, especially at Nebraska, since they do have 4-5 star players and might be playing very loose.
Rutgers, Iowa and Northwestern are pretty rotten though.
I am old enough that I do recall that 1982 season, I was pretty young, but I considered it the Curse of Memorial Stadium being abandoned. (Illinois 42- MN 24 - turning point)In 1982, we thought Northwestern was a joke and they beat us. The precedent stands
Ya, I was not impressed with Penn State being elite.I relish in the fact that Penn State is feeling really good about their team right now, but we all know they are going to get stomped by tOSU next week.
I predicted 8 wins at the beginning of the year I’m sticking with itWe need a poll! How many feel the Gophers stall out at 5 wins? How many think the Gophers will finish bowl eligible at 6 wins? 7 wins, 8, 9 wins?
Didn't you see the first quarter at all?How exactly is fleck a “pussy”? Seriously
Imagine your Freshman year being the last in Memorial Stadium and then being force-fed to the inflatable toilet built for the NFL crowd. 1982-1986 were awful, and I was on the application for the 1985 student season tickets.I am old enough that I do recall that 1982 season, I was pretty young, but I considered it the Curse of Memorial Stadium being abandoned.

No doubt, I was in 10th grade and went to the Ohio State win in 1981 at Memorial Stadium. I went to two games early in that 1982 season and it was the worst ever, and that did not include the football, which went downhill in a hurry! The wretched, dead air of the plastic coffin like Metrodome fit with the end of Gopher football for a very long time.Imagine your Freshman year being the last in Memorial Stadium and then being force-fed to the inflatable toilet built for the NFL crowd. 1982-1986 were awful, and I was on the application for the 1985 student season tickets.
I honestly like your posts almost all of the time, but putting blame on officials in a 45-17 game is a bit of a stretch. Refs didn’t cause MN to not cover a WR or to allow tight ends running free down the middle of the field. Not saying there was not some missed calls, and I mean this with respect, but I’d put the refs at about number 10 on the reasons we lost.I honestly don't think it's been as bad as the score reflects. There have been several defensive breakdowns leading to scores for PSU. That's a big problem. But I truly think that the number of bad calls that dug the Gophers into the hole they were in played a role. Seems like the entire team was just deflated. Refs contributed in a big way towards making this game lopsided.
Yes I watched the whole game.Didn't you see the first quarter at all?

Fair take. We can agree to disagree on the importance of the calls.The horrible calls (or non-calls) were all made when the game was close. Yes, it did matter. A lot.

Like you, I went to games while a kid. I always wanted to go there. I think if I were a year or two younger, UMN would have skyrocketed to the top of my least liked schools with how many screw-up were made while I attended. They were obvious and damaging screw-ups.No doubt, I was in 10th grade and went to the Ohio State win in 1981 at Memorial Stadium.

Looking back that experience probably is what made me not to go the U of M, even though I was accepted and assumed I would go there!
I am pretty sure I did not attend another Gopher Football game after that 1982 Illinois game until Glen Mason was hired, and my hatred of the Metrodome was not muted even with winning.
ended up being three as that 25 yard run in the 4th, 55 switched vacated the hole he was responsible for.Hasn't been any all game. It accounts for the two TDs that blew by #55, as well.
I would say the terrible no call on the jersey stretching hold that ended with a PSU touchdown instead of moving them back 10 yards was an important miss... beyond that, a call here and there...I thought I saw a fairly obvious block in the back on a long run, or pass play as well, but don't really recall the exact play.Fair take. We can agree to disagree on the importance of the calls.
You know that is right. When Fleck came in and Johnson, Autman-Bell and Bateman were elite, I thought it would be the team's calling card. This has to be the number one priority via transfer portal in the off season.I feel like I‘m watching a Jerry Kill coached team. We just don’t have the talent other than Mo and BSF and that is the big problem. I like AK and he has the potential to be the best QB we have had in over a decade.
For another 6 days!The Gophers are still undefeated in the Rutgers Championship Season
He was asked about the 2nd half tonight and he answered about the 2nd half tonight.I don’t think he was talking about the 2nd half specifically. He was talking about what kind of team they are, but then also said they have to be able to get the ball downfield.
Doesn't matter where you put that on the list. Killer bad officiating should never be on the list.I honestly like your posts almost all of the time, but putting blame on officials in a 45-17 game is a bit of a stretch.
