If running backs are your thing, look no further. Mohamed Ibrahim and Sean Tucker have combined for almost 2,700 rushing yards and 30 touchdowns. The Orange offer a stiff challenge. But P.J. Fleck has been on the winning end of every bowl game he's coached as the Golden Gophers' head man.

Bad Boy Mowers?

 

[GVLCGopherFan]

Seems about right to me.

Sadly, the Illinois - Mississiippi State game in Tampa will be real interesting this year.

Bad Boy Mowers?

Pretty decent operation. Specialize in zero-turning radius commercial grade riding mowers. Why sponsoring a bowl game? Who knows. But the product is much more brawny and manly than the the product supporting the Duke's mayonnaise bowl. Just sayin' ...

They are a good mower and popular in this region. But that doesn’t really matter. Go Gophers!

I agree. Purdue surprised me against Michigan. I thought it was going to be 2021 Michigan/Iowa all over again. Still and all, I have to think that LSU's raw athletic talent is going to be too much for the Boilermakers.

Is O’Connell playing?

Iowa Kentucky will be great. Drink for every offensive point scored. You can set aside two beers and be covered

Is O’Connell playing?

I think I just saw something last night that said he is NOT playing.

 

[50PoundHead]

Is O’Connell playing?

I haven't heard that he isn't. I don't know where he falls on the draft pecking order, but I would think he would want a showcase.

EDIT: Just looked it up and he is sitting out the game. His brother passed away recently. Jones is not playing as well.

Is O’Connell playing?

No, AOC isn't playing. Nor Charlie Jones. Nor much of the coaching staff.

Wow. One could say Purdue is going to get... hammered.
