***OFFICIAL PENN ST AT MINNESOTA IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Stan]

Gophers have won 3/4, all 3 on the road including a win at PSU who we host Saturday. Both wins in LA were big, unexpected and followed the same formula.

Wining 4/5 sure would be something but should be expected with PSU at home.

Let’s ride this train and see where it takes us.

GET ‘ER DONE JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Holy Man]

Have the Gophers ever beaten the same team twice in the same season in the Ben Johnson era?

 

[HitMeAgainIAmStillMoving]

Today we start the big push.

Yes. Penn State last year.

 

[TruthSeeker]

Must win.

 

[Holy Man]

Yes. Penn State last year.

My confidence has gone up!

I'm surprised we're only favored by a point and a half.

 

[ShushPush]

I'm surprised we're only favored by a pint and a half.

FIFY

Or, he’s a small town guy from Brainerd and achieved more than he ever thought possible.

Then what about Mr. Rodgers?

I still fondly recall my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Martinson - some people love helping/teaching kids.



You kinda took, what was meant as an innocuous fun gesture by me, and ran it off the tracks.

I think, we collectively need to stop assuming the worst about everyone and everything. It’s a crappy way to live in my experience.

Stan made a train reference and Casey Jones was a beloved train engineer from my youth. So

So just another day?

Or am I now overreaching and assuming the worst if you??

I'll take it down.

 

[Gopher_In_NYC]

I'll take it down.

Thanks. I’ll delete my reply as well

2.5 now, was 3.5 earlier

Got to admit this game has me nervous. I always feel the way when we are favored to win. Seems like that is the kiss of death. Depends on which Gopher team shows up to play. The one that can play like they can beat anyone or the one that can play like they can get beat by anyone. Get them ready Ben!

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Really hope they start Frank at the five.

 

[Bayfieldgopher]

If we don't want to be a bottom feeder, we have to beat the bottom feeders.

 

[FinnGopher]

Thomas thinks we can.

 

[GopherBlood777]

Really hope they start Frank at the five.

Also Asuma at the point. Stop playing it "safe". Go Gophers!

Sure, but it's not just that. Penn State didn't have their starting center in the first meeting. He's back now and he played very well in their rout of Nebraska. I believe this team can win anyway but, as we all know by now, you can never expect anything to come easily for this team and losing is always a very real possibility.

If Asuma stopped playing it "safe" while he's out there I might agree with you.

I hope the students and local press sections are ready to be loud today.
