OFFICIAL: Minnesota vs Syracuse in Pinstripe Bowl

[BleedGopher]

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Let’s win!

 

[mnhoopboy]

Yuck. This was worst case scenario.

 

[stocker08]

Complete BS. And against a team that lost five of their last six.

 

[matt]

Yawn

 

[RogueGopher]

Gophers by 30

 

[metrolax]

Let's get win #9

 

[UMSantaCruz-BananaGophers]

Pretty ridiculous selection, two years in a row. They should just put Syracuse in the Cheez-It bowl against Oklahoma and put FSU in the pinstripe with us. That’s a better match up for both bowl games anyway

Kind of a fun opponent. Lousy bowl. Will be cheering from my sofa.

 

[JWG]

Two baseball stadiums in a row should be outlawed.
puke.

 

[corcorangopher]

B1G hates the Gophers.

 

[DelawareGopher]

Screwed by the bowls and conference again.

 

[everybody knows my name]

Well, fart. It is what is.

Go Gophers!

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Gophers getting screwed in the bowl selection process. A tradition unlike any other.

 

[USAF]

Inevitable, but still a complete F joke.

It'd be nice to hear something from Fleck and/or Coyle on this....but I highly doubt we will.

 

[everybody knows my name]

Yuck. This was worst case scenario.

Be realistic. Worst case scenario would be the team's airplane crashing into an erupting volcano.

 

[Yah-E]

Why complaint? We deserve these crappy bowls because we sucked and lost 3/4 games that we should’ve won.

We get what we deserve.

We had Big Ten West in front of us TWICE, we didn’t capitalize. Just another Goopher year.

Hey a potential 9-4 still an OK year.

 

[Iceland12]

Screwed by the bowls and conference again.

Or screwed by putting up 20 total points against Purdue and Iowa.

 

[46Gophers]

Sh*t bowl vs a sh*t opponent. Was thinking of attending our bowl game this year and this was the only bowl that I would not attend.

 

[StCroix]

I hope we win, but you couldn't pay me to go there for a game.

 

[TeeBee]

Lame.

But we got what we deserved I suppose.

 

[MGGopher]

I put this in the other thread but it pretty much sums up my thoughts so I'll drop it here too.

Agreed. I really don't think Minnesota got screwed in any sense of the word this year. They deserve NYC. Still, you'd think both the B1G and ACC would've worked together to make a more interesting matchup for both fan bases. Iowa and Kentucky playing in consecutive years? Come on. And Minnesota and Syracuse have played multiple times recently while Minnesota hasn't played Duke, Wake Forest, or Pitt as long as I can remember... And last played NC St when Rivers was the QB lol. But hey, it is what it is.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

Screwed by the bowls and conference again.

How did MN get screwed? Did we get jumped by teams?

 

[SanDiegoGopherFan]

Be realistic. Worst case scenario would be the team's airplane crashing into an erupting volcano.

No, worst case scenario is someone force feeding me brussel sprouts

 

[stocker08]

How did MN get screwed? Did we get jumped by teams?

Ummm....yes. Both Iowa and Maryland were 7-5.

 

[swingman]

Terrible TV slot, terrible opponent, terrible venue, hyper-expensive, distant cold weather location.

We were playing Syracuse in lower-tier bowls in 2013...Coyle had to be hoping for much more in year 7.

I’m not sure i understand the “screwed” aspect here…

Having said that I’ll be watching from home.

Remodeling house, not in the mood to spend.
