A game we should not have lost. Wisky has lost a game they should not have lost. Nebraska has lost a game they should not have lost. Iowa has lost a game they should not have lost. Gotta love Big Ten Football.
 

This. drink it off and beat the pig Fvckers
 





Bad loss but it is what it is.

Fact of the matter, all the guidebooks picked us to be about 6-6. Until today we had only one game they had not predicted, Michigan. We have now lost one game we should have won.

On the internet the highs are too high and the lows too low.
 

If you listen to the guidebook writers (say Patrick Ruesse) we'll never be a good program. Hence you have to out perform their expectations to get respect.

Pat Reusse puts new credence to the term ass hole. Well, he and Jim Souhan.
 

Dr. Don, we agree on something.

That's cuz Pat remembers a good program. I really don't blame him. His standard of the Gophers is national titles. He probably dies a little more every time he thinks of the glory days. Through all the sarcasm and negativity, Pat really just wants to see the Gophers do well.

Judd and Souhan on the other hand have no such memories, and just follow the herd when it comes to hating the local university.
 

Gophers simply learned a lesson today that they are not athletically good enough to come out on the field and not work extremely hard to execute. They let down and it cost them a win. The difference in talent between Illinois and Minnesota is very thin. What we had going for us was we were outworking our opponents and not making as many mistakes. Today we didn't where our hardhats. Learn from it and come back in two weeks ready to work.

In the end...it's just a game.

We all thought they learned that lesson last week.
 




Agree but diagree...NE deserved the loss v Mich St.
 

Iowa absolutely deserved to lose to Maryland, they were handled convincingly. If anything, Iowa is very lucky to have survived their non-conference season with just one "L"...they were outplayed in a couple other games.

The problem is, you guys expect perfection from a team that is not perfect. Who else is???

Yep Doc, I did expect perfection from this 3 game stretch with Northwestern, Purdue and Illinois. Didn't get it. Now we get 4 games where we surely will not be perfect...not even close (I'll be stunned if we do anything better than 1-3). That's why we so badly needed a win today.

There is a big gap between perfection and the garbage we saw today. Poor decisions, poor effort, poor execution.

Earlier this week someone warned this could be similar to those Indiana games we would lose during the Mason years. That struck me as a real possibility, sadly, they were right. The fact is, the TCU game really did show us that we have a better than mediocre team.

Best post of yours I've ever seen, Tiny. Nailed it

Heck, I could be wrong but Illinois might have just as many players on scholarship as the Gophers. Crazy thought that a B1G team with B1G coaches with two weeks to prepare and playing on Homecoming didn't just roll over and die for the mighty Gophers.
 

The Gophers looked very tired and out of sync. Yesterday, they lost their mojo.

They didn't play well enough to win, and where caught napping by a rested team who is hungry and desperate for a win.

One big mistake at an inopportune moment tilted the outcome against their favor.

We can scream all we want try to say that Leidner is not the right guy and so forth. It is a team lost. I commend the Gophers for giving us six wins this season.

The way they played they didn't deserve to win. But, they'll rebound.

Let them rest, and starting in two weeks let's cheer for them to snatch victories in at least two of the last four final games.

They've come a long ways from four years ago, and had a fallen brick yesterday.

Leave it to the master brick layer Kill. He'll finish the house that he came to build. Be patient. The time time will come.

Go Gophers!
