STrib: iMinnesota looking for a different outcome vs. Purdue

[BleedGopher]

per the STrib:

"We're just ready for a new year," he said. "It's a new team and hopefully we'll have a different result this time."

Mathieu said the seniors had talked amongst themselves about the importance of snagging more road wins this season. Last year, Minnesota only won two conference games away from home -- at Northwestern and Penn State -- one of the deciding factors in the Gophers' ultimate absence from the NCAA tournament.

The other seniors mentioned they had never won at Purdue. Actually, Minnesota hasn't won at Purdue since 2005, when Dan Monson was the coach.

The Gophers snagged their first true road game earlier this month, when they walked away from Wake Forest with a victory in the ACC/ Big Ten Challenge, and they also took one vs. Georgia -- who coach Richard Pitino compared to Purdue in terms of physicality -- on a neutral court in the NIT Season Tipoff. But the conference schedule is a different story, he knows.

I know we rag on her alot, so I'm gonna keep doing it.... I swear this sentence shows up in every article. Change the words, include a -- -- separated phrase, and confuse the **** out of me and make me read it 10 times to figure out what she meant to say and laugh at what she actually said....

That said, didn't know we hadn't won at Purdue since 2005... is that true? Because its Amelia I've got a suspicion that it should be verified.

I might be wrong but i'm pretty sure that was Gene Keady's final home game with Purdue. We won ugly that day.

I just checked, it's correct. I remember that season, don't remember that particular game.

I was in Vegas that day. It was the 3rd of 4 straight wins to end the regular season. Strong finish got the Gophers in the tourney.

And then we decided to rip my heart out while losing to those thugs from ISU Stinson and Blalock.... Hated Stinson... Those damn headbands they wore haunt me to this day.

I also remember Keady getting pissed at Monson as the teams were going into the locker room for halftime. Monson was like "WTF are you yelling at me for"?
