Just curious as 23 points is a pretty big deal. What are the bigger ones?
Brandon Johnson going unconscious from 3 against Iowa on Christmas 2020, and Jamison Battle and Dawson Garcia hitting multiple 3's against Rutgers last year. I think in both of those we came back from 10+ down with a minute or a minute and a half to go.IIRC the 97 team came back from a double digit deficit against Indiana with just over a minute to play to force OT and win in Bloomington IN. Not the biggest comeback maybe but definitely the most exciting!
That’s crazy. How has that not been brought up yet?I think this past Saturday's 23 point comeback win against PSU is the largest in not only barn history, but the entire Gopher program. Now unless I am reading this wrong (and I do not always take everything written on Wikipedia as gospel), this Wiki web page indicates that the 23 point comeback is tied for 6th all-time in the NCAA, second largest in the B1G. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comeback_(sports)

why!!!!! thanks for reminding us about that bowl game vs TCU. damn wiki pageI think this past Saturday's 23 point comeback win against PSU is the largest in not only barn history, but the entire Gopher program.

If we're talking late comebacks, Indiana in 97 is a good one, but nothing could top Indiana at Williams Arena in (I think) 2001. We were down 13 with 3:00 to go. That comeback was absolutely insane.
But I'm still looking for the biggest overall comeback ever.
Then everyone got hurt and the season went downhill from there... So much promise under Monson so many times but never realized.MINNESOTA MAKES MIRACULOUS COMEBACK TO DEFEAT HOOSIERS - University of Minnesota Athletics

Pretty amazing that Fuller or none of the local scribes bothered to dig on this and point it out.A little internet sleuthing revealed this official PDF from the NCAA for 22-23 season. If you look on page 48 it shows "Deficit Overcome to Win Game" list. It looks like our 23 point deficit is tied for 35th all time and also that the game should be our greatest comeback of all-time as we are not listed elsewhere on that same list.

If you are bored you can do a search on "Minnesota". We show up 118 times - good, bad, and ugly.

I was at that one. I remember celebrating post game at Stub & Herbs with unbridled optimism at the potential of the Monson era with Rickert's arrival on the horizon.MINNESOTA MAKES MIRACULOUS COMEBACK TO DEFEAT HOOSIERS - University of Minnesota Athletics

That was a really bad day.It took about 14 months. Illini at the Barn. Uffda.
Was about to say.....local media not digging when their is no controversy involved is the least surprising part.Pretty amazing that Fuller or none of the local scribes bothered to dig on this and point it out.
Actually...considering the quality of their coverage, perhaps it's not amazing at all.
I wonder if the football team has ever rallied from 23 down.I bet the hockey team never came back from 23 down.
Cheap shot. Marcus is very much a Minnesota booster, perhaps to his detriment.Pretty amazing that Fuller or none of the local scribes bothered to dig on this and point it out.

I don't think Fuller is overly negative; sure he gives us a fair shake etc.Cheap shot. Marcus is very much a Minnesota booster, perhaps to his detriment.
