Meineke Bowl: Minn +12.5 vs TexTech (ov/un 56.5) Fri 9 ESPN

[Jake]

Lou Holtz just defended the Gophers and predicted a win. It's almost as if he used to coach there.

 

[scarletmike]

Well...that lead lasted all of 13 seconds.

 

[Coqui]

Jesus, the power rushing game Minny is bringing.

 

[scarletmike]

Wow, Minny answered. This is not what I was expecting. I figured TT would be running away already.

 

[redguard117]

Why is 2-6 (Big Ten play) Minnesota in a bowl game? Jesus.

 

[redguard117]

Refs blowing the game already

 

[Jake]

That unnecessary roughness penalty on Minny was ridiculous.

 

[redguard117]

Game over.

 

[Coqui]

I think the over was grossly underestimated

 

[Jake]

Why is 2-6 (Big Ten play) Minnesota in a bowl game? Jesus.

Over 50% of the teams playing FBS football go to bowl games, so 6-6 is all it takes.

 

[Jake]

It'll be funny when this game is used as "evidence" of the bad B1G, considering Minnesota couldn't beat most B1G teams, either.

That's exactly my point. We shot ourselves in the foot. At the least, if they ever want to compete again, the rest of the B1G should have the decency to cheat as well and as secretly as the SEC

 

[Jake]

It took 12 minutes for this game to outscore VT-Rutgers, and that game went OT.

 

[jwinslow]

Yeah Brock, it's the magical new scheme, not the fact that the B12 refuses to play defense and no one ever holds it against them. Minnesota was an absolute trainwreck in a bad B1G conference, but even in a severe downturn, we actually field defenses for the most part.

Oh how I loathe the media and their obsession with offense.

 

[Coqui]

Tech tackles worse than we did at the beginning of the year.
