***OFFICIAL OHIO STATE AT MINNESOTA SEASON OPENING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[ProfessorBum]

What idiot announcer. "I don't want to see an OSU player ejected, so the rule doesn't apply"

 

[howeda7]

This ref clearly signed an NIL agreement with JimBob's Caddilac of Columbus.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

It is impossible to express my anger level right now. F*** you Gus
Johnson, you bootlicker.

 

[BTChamp]

Maybe I need to relieve myself again, Fuck you ref!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[gopherfan007]

Announcers.. "This is real american football, hits like that happen".. What in the honest fuck

 

[Wally]

How the F was that not targetting....what a load of BS

Oh he was only basically knocked out by a helmet to helmet hit....

 

[Gopher028]

O$U
O$U
O$U

 

[GophersInIowa]

That was comically bad. Clearly a defenseless receiver.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

This “may” be hyperbolic but Big Ten leadership, these refs, Ohio state , Gus Johnson dead to me from this day forward. This is as shady as it gets. Crickets from the officiating guru.

 

[CoMn]

Wow two huge non targeting calls on OSU. I'm sick of big ten refs. If that's not targeting what the heck is?

 

[FullBanana]

Now if we were to hit someone helmet to helmet it’s probably a year long suspension

 

[Denver_Gopher]

How can anyone watching that in slow motion not call targeting?

 

[MRJ]

Never had any respect for Ohio State anyway, but holy crap, that was blatant favoritism by the refs. Screw them...

 

[Boomtime]

One thing I will say; the defense has completely mailed it in...which is frustrating.

On the plus side, bet the "over" all season with this defense.

 

[FormerFatOL]

Yes, that was targeting, but we had a few alligator arms today at receiver. These young receivers need to step up and catch the ball even when getting hit. They got bitch slapped and shrank. They need to grow.,

 

[MGGopher]

It is impossible to express my anger level right now. F*** you Gus
Johnson, you bootlicker.

+1000

 

[DocfromDarwin]

Don’t know about targeting but it’s either a fumble or incomplete if not a penalty.

It was a fumble. And it’s football. Targeting rule is crap

 

[BTChamp]

Stroud is average. But he can be the most prolific passer in history with the fake calls going his way, It was obvious "let minnesota hang around but dont let them win"

 

[btowngopher]

Not using our timeouts?

 

[MNVCGUY]

I have defended refs many times in the past but there is no world where that was not targetting by the OSU DB....well I guess there is one world where they don't want to have an OSU player suspended for next week. Pathetic.

 

[Pompous Elitist]

Klatt, grow a pair and call these mofos out. You’ve made plenty of money.

 

[cncmin]

Big ten doesn't want their baby OSU down a star player for the next game, any other team that's a blatant targeting call

happened with leidner not that long ago too. They just treat Ohio tate differently than everyone else, protect them at all costs, ensure their wins at all costs.

 

[Nax5]

We didn't cover did we? Man, so many dumb ass mistakes. And of course losing Mo. Feels like typical MN sports. But I like our odds the rest of the season.

 

[Some Day...Maybe]

I will cheer against the Big Ten making the college football playoff this year and maybe the next few years because of their officiating. I seriously wonder if the Big Ten has ever called a targeting penalty against Ohio State?

 

[BoatRacer]

It was a fumble. And it’s football. Targeting rule is crap

why dont you just go f yourself. Know nothing abt. college football including who pay the bills.

 

[ProfessorBum]

It was a fumble. And it’s football. Targeting rule is crap

Then change the f***ing rule. Don't apply it selectively.

 

[GoldenGophers7]

It was a fumble. And it’s football. Targeting rule is crap

What team are you cheering for? FFS

 

[MNVCGUY]

Good battle, tough opponent, bodes well for the rest of the season......but of course there is the Mo injury hanging out there....would suck to lose him but we have some options at RB so hopefully can pick up the slack.

 

[howeda7]

happened with leidner not that long ago too. They just treat Ohio tate differently than everyone else, protect them at all costs, ensure their wins at all costs.

OSU must make the 4 team play-off. They all know the assignment.

 

[MGGopher]

Will somebody with tech skills Tweeta GIF of that targeting foul at the B1G and every official you can find please? Thx. Oh and bonus points if you include the Leidner hit from a few years back. Screw OSU, screw the B1G. Total BS.
