***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PURDUE BOUNCE BACK GAME IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[rivergopher]

7 in coverage 3 person routes, harabaugh is awful, QB is terrible

 

[tikited]

Nice series Athan.

 

[Stuff]

We might as well play the young development guys the rest of the season. Get them some experience

 

[BTChamp]

That was an absolute bullet to BSF.

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Completion percentage plummeting to the Mendoza line.

 

[Gopherwatcher]

Kaliakmanis’s accuracy is very concerning. It is one of the most difficult things to fix as a coach.

 

[Gophergrandpa]

Looks like “2nd Half Kaliakmanis” is here …

 

[BTChamp]

Keep it under 60 please

 

[upnorthkid]

keep in BSF to chip, he chips no one, the guy loops to the middle unblocked and hits the QB. Nailed it

 

[fmlizard]

1/3 of all the football commercials are about bundling home and auto insurance, an arrangement that would get you laughed out of the office in Florida

 

[Pdiddy]

Kaliakmanis is garbage

 

[FinnGopher]

With the number of years that Coach Fleck has been here and the "culture" of ELITE that he preached, I am having a hard time watching a team that seems poorly coached and undisciplined in nearly every aspect of the game. This is especially disturbing considering the Gophers are being beaten down by arguably the worst team in the Big 10 West.

At this point, will Minnesota end it's season without a bowl game to play in?

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Not to be forgotten the gophers are the worst team in the big ten on 3rd down defense.

 

[proudgopher]

We needed Flip Dixon this year.

Part of improving your best is keeping your best. I don't know how that is done in this case but then I am not making $5 million to figure that out.

 

[upnorthkid]

wait you can continue to pass when leading?!

 

[short ornery norwegian]

The battle for the Axe in 2 weeks is going to be epic. Here's an idea - the Loser of the WI - MN game has to go to the Detroit Bowl.

 

[rivergopher]

On a side they only 3 starters next year. (But bringing back bad players from a 5-7 team is never the answer either)

 

[howeda7]

At this rate, the battle for the axe may also be a battle for bowl-eligibility.

What bowl does 5-7 get us with our high academic standing ?

 

[SHGopher]

FYI

 

[gopherdudepart2]

Another absolute holding again

 

[PhiloVance]

I'm out. Maybe they become bowl eligible against OSU.

 

[Hungry and Starving]

Atleast we can save money by not going to a worthless bowl in Siberia

 

[BTChamp]

On a good note, there might be highlights of the basketball team on YouTube.

 

[FredCoxRocks]

Uh oh…It’s that point in the game when the announcers gush over one team and it ain’t Minnesota.

 

[gopherdudepart2]

Purdue just tackled a Dlinemen

 

[FlaGopher23]

First time we had pressure on their QB?

 

[howeda7]

Purdue just tackled a Dlinemen

They're holding on every play. The fact that they've called zero is a joke.

 

[forever a gopher]

The way PJ wants to play necessitates an elite defense. He’s painted himself into a corner when your D isn’t up to snuff, there’s nothing you can do.

 

[fmlizard]

we might test some of those preseason hypotheticals where we ask "if the Gophers were terrible but still beat iowa and wisconsin would you be okay with the season?"

 

[stocker08]

Purdue just tackled a Dlinemen

They've been holding quite a bit....and getting away with it.
