I'm there. Minnesota sports are a tease. They bait you, they pull you in. You think this could maybe happen after all. Then reality kicks you in the ass. The Gophers (in FB or BB), the Vikings, the Twins, the Timberwolves, the Wild... they are all flirts that will cost you quite a bar tab...
There are apparently multiple generations present on this board. Btw, getting old sucks. All my pop culture references from the 70s and 80s fall flat in my lectures today. Even 90s.
It isn't their fault that they're bad. Its not the coach's fault either. But they are in a rebuilding phase. They're not going to be winning the division this year. I think we can agree on that.
I'm not a fan of celebrating like you just won the CFP after just barely beating a bad team with a new head coach. Go in there, praise the guys for finding a way to win (and especially thank the defense), but soberly remind them that it shouldn't have been that close and we have work to do.
Short of winning the west, winning this game is the most important task in a given year. I was down after the Iowa loss. This helps quite a bit. But still...this was the year to win the west.
Need one yard. We have huge lineman. But lets not snap under center and push forward 3 feet. Lets do shotgun and run to the right into 3 unblocked defensive players.
I was unaware of the stat that says we've lost 32 in a row when trailing by 10 or more at any point in the game. That tells me what we've all already known--Fleck doesn't know the word "adjustments."
