Really bad article based on the fact they are essentially already guaranteed a bowl

How so? I thought you need 6 wins minimum. You are not suggesting we have at least one 1 guaranteed?

There aren’t going to be enough teams to fill out all the slots.
The gophers are high enough in APR that they’re going to get one

If the team finishes 5-7 I personally would put it about 95% they get a bowl.

It would literally kill me if we missed out on the motor city bowl, or whatever trash game it would be.

Moot point as we’re going to beat Purdue.

They are brow-beaten and depleted after their last four in a row losses.
