The non conference win streak remains in tact!4 Bowl wins in a row for the Gophers...I like that trend.

Undefeated against Alabama's finest.The non conference win streak remains in tact!
I didn't expect a win, but thought there was a chance for one reason, if you've clearly got a better QB, you've got a shot. That hasn't happened often (if at all) until now.
Yeah, our last two games against their bluebloods Alabama and Auburn in bowl games we are victorious!!!Undefeated against Alabama's finest.
That puts Minnesota 3-0 vs. Alabama....yes, I count the Civil War.Undefeated against Alabama's finest.
we got espn third string today -they are covering 3 games today
I mean... do we really need to watch Rose Bowl warm-ups? Show me the Gophers!
Meh, we didn’t beat a single team with a better record than us.
We left them confused. On a couple of our offensive sets, those Good ‘ol boys didn’t know what to check their ass or scratch their watch!Beautiful game plan and execution by our Gopher players. Better prepared team won today. Gus Malhazan was outcoached.

What's it up to now? 19?The non conference win streak remains in tact!
Be gracious in victory, do not act like a Badger fan.How's your top 10 D Auburn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent and the chairs were deluxe padded. Our crowd was also excellent and mature. Standing when appropriate, sitting and enjoying the weather the rest of the time.How was your view?
Right! Should have gone for style points!!But they didn't finish it with any points to show for it ?
How 'bout Bryce Witham?!
I know the angry, over the top opinion is what is most common on here, but as someone who watches way too much spots on TV, I'm going to speak up one last time for Benetti. Yes, I'm biased as he especially shines doing my favorite sport, baseball, but he is solid in all sports. I'm not the SJW type so I don't give extra credit for his disability (cerebral palsy after premature birth), but I suspect him never being a jock makes him more relatable as a fan of sports. He never played football, so everything he's learned is because he loves watching the competition. His style works for me. I'm the biggest critic of almost all tv play by play and color commentators and I'm not the bleeding heart type, but I always love it when Benetti is doing the game. He's not perfect, but an honest effort without acting holier than thou works for me. I realize it's opinion and haters on here will hate, but Jason Benetti has a fan here.ESPN 3rd string team
Thanks for that really nice info. Like you, I enjoy him doing games. Now I like him even more.I know the angry, over the top opinion is what is most common on here, but as someone who watches way too much spots on TV, I'm going to speak up one last time for Benetti.

From wiki, I found out he (like me) was in the high school band: "Benetti was born 10 weeks prematurely and hospitalized for three months. During the three months in the hospital, Benetti had a respiratory illness while in intensive care that deprived his blood of oxygen. It is believed that caused his cerebral palsy, which was diagnosed when Benetti was a toddler. He underwent years of physical therapy and two surgeries to improve his ability to walk.[2]
In junior high, Benetti ran his school's NCAA tournament pool, and in high school he joined the radio broadcasters.[3]
Benetti's cerebral palsy prevented him from playing tuba during marching band season. Not wanting to exclude him, the band director asked him to serve as the halftime broadcaster for their marching events.[4]"
OK one last thing. Dare you to watch this news clip about Jason Benetti without tearing up just a little. Maybe you think he sucks at his job, but are there really that many that suck less than him? Not in my book.
I watched three post-game Auburn interviews. In all three, including Malzahn, they were very gracious and repeatedly said that we just played better and were the better team today. First class responses.The Auburn fans were first class as were the Gopher fans at the game. A very enjoyable game on a beautiful day.
Thanks for the info- heartwarming story about a good, really smart dude overcoming physical disabilities. Look forward to hearing him call a game again- hopefully with a different color analyst!I know the angry, over the top opinion is what is most common on here, but as someone who watches way too much spots on TV, I'm going to speak up one last time for Benetti.

I don’t know why, but reading this gave me chills, probably because I’ve never felt more encouraged to answer that with a “yes” than I do right now.Will this be the decade of the Gopher?
