Maryland, arguably Iowa?How did MN get screwed? Did we get jumped by teams?

Getting selected after Purdue, Illinois and Iowa while before Maryland and Wisconsin is a fair outcome even if it isn’t a fan favorite bowl.
Pinstripe is above Mayo. We were picked ahead of MarylandMaryland, arguably Iowa?
Seems like we almost always get the worst bowl possible.Yuck. This was worst case scenario.
Maryland. Iowa was betterUmmm....yes. Both Iowa and Maryland were 7-5.
Maryland. Iowa was better
Well Iowa beat us and Maryland is in a lower bowl right?Maryland, arguably Iowa?
Screwed by the bowls and conference again.
Ahhhhh they beat the GophersIowa had a worse record.
Still beat us…Iowa had a worse record.
Blech. Awful. I want to see some of the people that assured us last year (when the Gophers got screwed equally bad) that these things even out.
And if you dare say the Gophers “deserved” this, take your lack of knowledge and jump off a bridge.
Every F’ing year. And the most insulting thing is the annual parade of teams with worse records, teams the Gophers have beaten, etc. etc. getting much more desirable bowls.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone say they really like this bowl.I don’t get how people defend this bowl. Even if it’s a “fair” selection (it’s not), it’s just an objectively bad bowl.
No one wants to watch a cold weather mid-workday game in a bland baseball stadium. Especially against a non-football school.
The difference between the Pinstripe, Mayo and Music City is really not all that much. Except that it is in a "cold" location, New York is a far better city than Charlotte or Nashville. There isn't a whole helluva lot in Charlotte and I can't stand country music.Well Iowa beat us and Maryland is in a lower bowl right?
In other years including last yr, lower teams jumped us and we were told H2H didn't matterWell Iowa beat us and Maryland is in a lower bowl right?
Ahhhhh they beat the Gophers
And warmerI’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.
Huh? You'd rather play your bowl game in the snow on baseball turf/basically soccer pitch? F that. I'd play in Charlotte or Nashville 10/10 times. NYC is an expensive dump.The difference between the Pinstripe, Mayo and Music City is really not all that much.

I’m not happy but it’s my day off. I’ll watch.I don’t get how people defend this bowl. Even if it’s a “fair” selection (it’s not), it’s just an objectively bad bowl.

In your opinion but not in the selection order. It’s like arguing about shit or piss with these low level bowls anyway.I truly thought we'd get the benefit of the doubt after last year. But with Maryland having been in the Pinstripe last year....the Big Ten decided that Minnesota was going to get the short stick for a second year in a row. It's a really shitty situation that the conference seems fine with dumping on your team year after year.
We beat Wisconsin and Purdue last year with the same record as them and got passed. Iowa beat us this year....but had a worse record at 7-5.
And no. The Mayo Bowl is clearly the better game. Better location and opponent (#23 NC State).
I totally agree with you.I don’t get how people defend this bowl. Even if it’s a “fair” selection (it’s not), it’s just an objectively bad bowl.
