Per Pat:

Then again, for an old-timer with standards, this was a lousy season:

One excellent win over Nebraska; the embarrassment of scheduling Northwestern (La.) State (W, 66-0); humiliating losses to Oregon, Ohio State and especially Iowa; wins against the dregs of the Big Ten (Rutgers, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Purdue — combined 6-39 in conference); and piling up 252 yards to defeat New Mexico in overtime in a bowl game.

Gopher Hater? Not me.

I want better for you, Goldy-heads. I have standards.


Go Gophers!!

Awesome! Please beat somebody and be relevant 🤷🏾‍♂️…
 


Yes Pat we’d all love to beat the best teams in the country. Your “standards” haven’t been met in 60 years, so some of us have swallowed reality and lowered them instead of being miserable every year.
 

I love you Pat, but the Gophers had a huge advantage in the 1960's. They were one of a few schools who were recruiting Afican-American players. We'll never get back to the glory days of the 60's. Accept the facts or be called a Gopher hater.

Yes, you have.

If you think you can be better, or think you can't, you're often correct.
 

The one good thing about this era of NIL is that people like Pat, who bitch about the Gophers not meeting their standard, now can make an impact. I'm quite sure he has the means to have an impact if that truly is important to him.

And unlike the Gophers, the Twins DO have billionaire owners who  choose to be cheap uninspiring asshats.

If the Twins left, I seriously wouldn't care, and I used to follow them religiously.

Patrick being Patrick
 

I think the disconnect is there are some fans that think that to "have standards" it means you need to be angry, whine, or denigrate the program all the time (as if that helps). And there are others that have standards but also try to actually enjoy watching the games.
 

Pat is behind the times. His standards don't equate to today's standards. And the Gophers are not up to today's standards in regards to NIL and lacks the commitment to being a top BIG program.. He fails to recognize that. IMO, he isn't a Gopher hater but one who fails to understand the reality of where the Gophers are in the world of CFB.

No I hope not. I love gopher sports and the Vikes, wolves but the Twins are my number 1. I would be so upset if they left.
