The ones on our side of 211 were actually okay but both me and Mrs. Billd had any number of them turning around and giving us the eye as we vocalized our support for our lads. They did travel well this time.I normally don't mind Nebraska fans but the ones in 211 were so obnoxious and drunk at the outset it was giving me serious Iowa vibes. Thankfully they shut up after 1q
I thought for sure I was going to have to swap seats w8th my 13 year old. Guy let out a string of F-bombs at Fleck during introductions. Turns out he was in the wrong seat and moved 5 more down...far enough to make him someone else's problem.The ones on our side of 211 were actually okay but both me and Mrs. Billd had any number of them turning around and giving us the eye as we vocalized our support for our lads.

Gophers don't control their destiny, but if they somehow manage to pull an upset against Oregon and win out, only takes a few other games going a particular way, the hardest being Indiana dropping 1 (if they lose to a common opponent of the Gophers) or 2 games), for the gophers to find themselves in a rematch against OSU.
Purdue is really fast and they had great escapes by their Quarterbacks. Gophers fought hard that game and prevailed. Tonight was fun not having to listen to go Big Red after first quarter. Gophers play tough, the cardiac kids were the more prepared domiant team. Raiola should not have taunted the Gopher student section, it's bad luck. Our coaches worked hard and Gophers were the much more prepared team. Looking forward to the Fight for Floyd.Nice win. Did not see that coming. Reconciling last week to this week? Not even going to try.
A rematch against Ohio State is NOT fun to think about.

Is it likely? No, but it's fun to think about.
The dominance of that second half was incredible. After I said the 4&inches punt was the worst call of PJ's career he put together one of the best second halves of his career
I'm chalking it up to the field security crew practically challenging the student section to do it.A comfortable conference win! What a gift.
I felt a little 2nd hand embarrassment for the field rush, though. Probably not necessary for the #25 team. I know the rest of CFB fandoms will clown us for that one.
Anyways, great win. Keep it up.
Indeed it was a good one to be at!Crowd was electric tonight.
lol he's been known to scour this forumHe must have heard you. And he probably heard the drunk(?) Huskers fan screaming behind me for the first half before disappearing.
I’m ecstatic!27 pickers picked Nebraska to win in Pick'ems out of 45. I think though they are all happy that the Gophers won tonight.
Whoa, talk about flashback, that was me 40 years ago. It was a lot trickier getting back to pioneer from the Metrodome but plenty of time to empty the bottle of vodka.To the student with the 750 ml bottle of vodka in his pocket who asked for directions to Pioneer Hall - I hope you made it!
I just watched LOTR yesterday lolRemember today, Gopher fans. Today, life is good.
A whole lot of them had a different edge tonight. Unusual cockiness that they usually shelve when on the road, a lot of bad drunks.I normally don't mind Nebraska fans but the ones in 211 were so obnoxious and drunk at the outset it was giving me serious Iowa vibes. Thankfully they shut up after 1q
I attended tonight's game with my family. We don't get to very many Gophers sporting events, but the last 3 have been real doozies....last years USC football game, men's basketball takedown of #15 Oregon, and now tonight's Nebraska football game. All 3 were big Gopher wins followed by field/court storming. Good times.
Also loved the Kingsbury blitz/sack. He absolutely blew Johnson up.Defensively.......I'd love to see the all-22 of this game, to get a closer look at what we were doing on the back end vs their passing game. Even when he did have time, which wasn't often...nothing seemed open.
We held them to 2 FG's, and barely over 200 yds on the night.
Nebraska had scored:
27 vs Michigan
38 vs Michigan St.
34 vs Maryland
The play by Kingsbury on the blitz blowing up the back and then dropping Raiola was an AWESOME play. Looked like Urlacher in his prime decided to throw on some college pads. Destructive.
It felt like our defense was on some combination of speed pills and steroids tonight. Just curious why...or how??
Scheme is one thing....but the passion and aggressiveness they played with tonight.....damn impressive.
Knowing it would almost certainly mean we would be included in the CFP, I'd allow itA rematch against Ohio State is NOT fun to think about. Lol
