OSU vs Houston would be very interesting

holding out hope they end up in the Pizza Bowl in Detroit, may be able to swing that trip... not going to NYC the day after Christmas

Ohio State is finishing ahead of Iowa in the polls. Not sure on what logic you can have MSU in the playoffs and Iowa in the Rose Bowl. Iowa is going to the Fiesta or Peach.

If we do go to a bowl, I was hoping for a bit easier of an opponent. I'd probably consider going to the Armed Forces in Ft. Worth (like the town) but I don't think I'd go to the Bronx at that time of year. I'd consider going to Detroit because that is inside.

Exactly....lol

If it's in Detroit I would go

FireDaveLee · Nov 30, 2015

I'm guessing this Minnesota-NC State bowl game would have more people in the stands watching than the 847 people that were at Pro Player Stadium in 2000, one of which was me.

MaxyJR1 · Nov 30, 2015

I'll take it. I have relatives that went to NCSU. Would be fun to wager.

saintpauljeff · Nov 30, 2015

Wonder what comes in the Quick Lane grab bag for the players... free tire rotation/oil change coupons??

Maybe it's just me, but I think tOSU is the best team in the B1G. MSU is next and the only other team in the conference in shouting distance of the Buckeyes. For whatever reason, the Buckeyes didn't play that crisply this season, but they have tremendous talent.

Last year the announced attendance was 23,876. They could give everybody in the stands a coupon. That might cost them $15-20K. At best..

The 2014 Quick Lane Bowl gift bag was valued at $550. It included:
1) Sony headphones,
2) $250 Best Buy gift card,
3) Bowl Apparel,
4) A football and
5) a customized Fathead for each player.....which was a popular item for the players.

the_chucker · Nov 30, 2015

It wouldn't surprise me if the B1G campaigns somewhat for Iowa to play in the Rose over tOSU. They've had a longer time since their last Rose Bowl and they did win the B1G West. The Rose might say no thanks and take Ohio State but it shouldn't surprise anyone if Iowa is in the Rose Bowl.

Committee essentially already said they're taking the next highest ranked team in the CFP rankings. It's not going to be Iowa if they lose. Ohio State is going to finish 5th (at worst 6th). The committee is going to crush Iowa if they lose because of their SOS. I wouldn't be surprised to see them down around 8-10.

Easier than a 3-5 ACC team? Anything weaker than that in postseason play leaves us in a position where even if we blow them out, we still look silly, and a loss is humiliating. NC State would be a team we should be able to beat while still being a legitimate power 5 team that we can be proud of beating.

jay meginnes · Dec 1, 2015

I would take any of the three bowl games If the gophers are the home team and are they the home team in any?

Yet you clearly didn't answer Mason's please for someone, anyone to cover Koren Robinson, did you?

If the Gophers lost to Central Michigan in a bowl game, you'd feel humiliated?

If the Gophers beat N.C. State in a bowl game, you'd feel proud?

Right Now...

I'd be very happy if we beat anybody!
