Glad we cleared that up
Too many decisions to list I absolutely did not agree with but the idea we played to win doesn't fly for me. Nobody should be rewarded for being stupid.
How is it playing to win when you fair catch the kickoff at the 6 yard line at least twice, so they can place it at the 25 yard line? Iowa returned theirs...to me that is mindset. Like so many things, it tells a story.
Defense was rallying late imo...kick the dang field goal and we would have been behind 7 late. March down, score, go for two as time expires and win the game. That's more my idea of playing to win.
The fake field goal as executed should never have been attempted.
The onside kick was ridiculous. Hey, hey there is 5 minutes to go and we don't want to cheat or deceive you, so hold on a minute, we just want to be sure you know we are going to onside kick in a minute or so here. Aw gee, that didn't work either. Lousy execution from any aspect you analyze all the way to the decision. Show some trust in your defense to get the ball back. Put the pressure on Iowa.
Million decisions I didn't like. We have talent to compete against Iowa.
Glad we cleared that up
Being a "positive" troller, I would like to offer this grading scheme:
A = Awesome
B = Beautiful
C = Creative
D = Delightful
F = Fantastic
No matter what, we have a winner. Stay strong Gopher elites... [emoji620] [emoji453]
All I heard was...Dairy Queen!!! [emoji7][emoji509][emoji511][emoji510]Sounds like socialized youth sports. Who knows, maybe we will get a participation trophy at the end of the year and a trip to Dairy Queen! Yay sub-mediocrity!
If Ohio State beats them as bad as we all think they will, we might not get a BT win this season.
AgreedThe outcome of the Ohio State game has zero impact on the remaining 6 Big Ten games.
The term "troll" gets thrown around a lot - and in a lot of cases, people are saying "troll" because the poster gave an opinion they don't agree with. That's not a troll. A troll is someone who deliberately posts on a board hoping to stir up trouble or cause a negative reaction. If I don't agree with a coaching decision, that doesn't make me a troll. If I go on a Wisconsin board and start rumors about Barry Alvarez having sex with farm animals, that makes me a troll.
Or an animal rights activist.
