Trap game

[gophersfan]

Anyone think the Gophers game with UCLA is a trap game. I think we will win. but don't be suprise if UCLA knock us off.

Two things worry me:

- UCLA has played a really, really tough schedule. They may be ready to take their frustration out on somebody.

- The win-loss records of teams that have to fly to or from the coasts. Example A: looks like USC is beating up on Penn State.

We’re not at a level presently where playing any P4 team qualifies as a “trap game.”

Losing to a Bowling Green/MAC team qualifies.

Wow. There's a blast from the past!

the travel is the part that worries me. the benefit though is we were at home last week and UCLA was out east, so don't think it'll be as much a factor.

Although I can't treat anyone as a trap game, I completely agree that this could easily go upside down. UGLA isn't as shitty as I earlier thought. They're tougher than billed. And can make things uncomfortable. On the other side, they could lay down with the overwhelming Gopher fans in the stadium.......

Thanks for stopping by.

I don't think a game where you're only favored by 4 could be considered a trap game. On paper it should be close and a bad bounce or turnover could decide the game.

 

[Schnauzer]

I didn’t think .500 teams could have trap games.

There may be more MN fans in the stadium than UCLA fans and it is a night game in a sacred stadium.

If you lose in a situation like that, it isn’t a trap, it’s because you are not very good.

This game should be tough.

 

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

Only great teams get trap games.

This team can’t look past anyone….

So we are going to be overlooking UCLA to get ready for the bye week?

This is 100% not a trap game. It also isn't a game we should be over confident going into. I expect UCLA to give us a battle and we win if we play well.....if we don't.....all bets are off at that point and UCLA could easily beat us.

You deserve second hand....wooden clubs.

You deserve second hand....wooden clubs.

Why ? Always bet with emotion. You either win $ or happiness.

I want to lose. It makes Saturdays way easier. Trust me. 45 years as a Gopher fan and I can tell you, when I lose a couple grams in a year, it is an awesome year !

Okay. You deserve a few good clubs. But wooden teeth.

LOL.

I wil gladly keep playing with my current clubs and lose $$ to win at the Rose Bowl tonight.

Is there such a thing as a trap game for a team that’s 3-3? Every game is like the Super Bowl if they want a halfway decent bowl game.

The gophers are 3-3. There aren’t trap games

 

[highwayman]

We trapped UCLA into a loss.

Things we can't have:

— We can't have nice things.

— We can't have 'moral victories'.

... and we sure as hell can't have no stinkin' TRAP GAMES!
