That's a shame.

Now let's run the clock down and get out of this game healthy.

I didn't think I would ever see a uniform worse than the CC jersey last night and then I flipped over to the PSU-iowa game.
It looks like Iowa crapped the bed then used that as a uniform model.

This is the team I expected to see going into the year. Bout time they showed up

Seeing Fake Scott Frost asking we are going to beat them by more than OSU did is pretty fun to see.

Wisconsin will put up 60 on Nebraska

Post by **gopherguy06** » Sat Oct 12 9:39 pm

Why is the first team in still?

Post by **Handyman** » Sat Oct 12 9:39 pm

We are running the ball not much risk of injury.

Plus Mo is our #3

How was attendance?

Post by **Handyman** » Sat Oct 12 9:41 pm

Stolen from Ghole:

PJ vs Frost...2-1
PJ vs Brohm...2-1

That’s crazy. Now the Rutgers game can’t be overlooked. This team should be 8 - 0 heading into PSU.

Good grief I think Bucky is going to put up 80 with 600 yards rushing on Nebraska. Might be fun to watch.

Yeah...the Rutgers stats are ridonkulously bad...

Post by **Vegasgopher** » Sat Oct 12 10:25 pm

Gosh, if we somehow go 3-3 that's a really nice 9 win season, a nice warm weather bowl (hopefully here in Florida, I got to go to the citrus bowl a few years ago) and killer amounts of bowl practices!!!

Post by **JWG** » Sat Oct 12 10:35 pm

Super jazzed for bowl practices!
Really want to see us finish 4-2. Beat Rutgers, MD, and NU. Steal one of PSU, Iowa, and WI.

Post by **Handyman** » Sat Oct 12 10:44 pm

That is doable. I know my Iowa loving Uncle is not confident his squad can beat us.

9 or 10 wins is the floor right now

But the PSU/Iowa game was close. Does that mean Iowa is strong to PSU is also winnable?

The points allowed for Wisconsin and PSU are ridiculous.

The Gophers have allowed 143 points in their 6 games. Wisconsin just 29.

How was attendance?

I would say it was about 3/4 full. A little hard to say because more people were hanging out in the concourse than usual because of the weather. Way too many Husker fans unfortunately. Although most of them were gone by the start of the 4th quarter. Was fun watching them go from extremely cocky to shocked silence during the game.

I was at.the 84-12 debacle in 1982. It was a 37 year wait, making it even more satisfying to obliterate the Cornhuskers, Have their pompous administrators fired their coach yet.

Nah, Carr played four years at Fresno State.

Post by **Bladepuller** » Sun Oct 13 10:33 am

Yes it was Fresno.
I was at that game with some of my old teamates.
2 of them are Mn HS HoF inductees and the 3rd was a DC at a number of colleges. They noted that Claeys safetys were playing to wide. Next play Carr hit a long bomb down the middle.

IIRC the SJSU quarterback was David Fales. Preseason talk had him as an early round draft pick. Think he ended up getting picked in the 6th.

The game where our QB had 1 completion was SJSU. We were playing our backup QB (who went on to play at South Dakota I think) and it was raining.

Correct- Chris Streveler.
In two years as a starter at USD he had 20 rushing TDs, 54 passing TDs, and 7600 total yards (including 4100 passing yards his senior year).

I want to be overlooked as long as possible.

Post by **Handyman** » Sun Oct 13 1:43 pm

Not playing anybody didnt hurt Iowa a few years back. Hey I hope at the end of the year they KEEP saying we havent played anyone cause that means we kept winning

Gophers picked by 30 against Rutgers...when I land in Vegas tonight I will bet Rutgers to cover just to make sure the Gophers win

Post by **Bonin21** » Sun Oct 13 2:07 pm

So if I bet like 100 what would I get if the Gophers lose?

If you bet them to cover probably win 90.
I bet the moneyline is probably Rutgers +290 so you'd win 290 if you bet Rutgers to win.

Okay so if I value each win (against crappy teams) at 50 bucks, if I bet 50 and they lose I'd make 145 profit?

Roughly. I did a quick search to find Vegas odds and couldn't find a moneyline on it. But usually with a spread that big the moneyline is at least +270.

Post by **Handyman** » Sun Oct 13 2:30 pm

I dont think the moneyline will be set til tomorrow. I will report though from Planet Hollywood tonight

I will pay to watch the Vikings cover that spread. Either I win money or we curb stomp a team...call that a win/win

Post by **Bonin21** » Sun Oct 13 2:32 pm

If the Gophers make another national championship I'd bet a ton as a hedge.

I didn't put down money on badger and packers titles yet. $h!t. Money upside is probably way worse now than summer.

It almost definitely is for Wisconsin. I dunno if the GB line has changed a ton. Maybe a little.

If the spread is 30 the moneyline will be a helluva lot higher than +270.

You're off by about a factor of 10 on the moneyline if the spread is 30 points.

ETA: And I'd lay the points in a heartbeat. Rutgers is truly that bad.

I think both teams are almost the same right now. Basically 12/1 I would call it. Hmm. Both odds will only get better.

It was a update of a failed uniform change back in the 90's. Looked like $h!t back then and looked like $h!t last Saturday...and shut up Handy, I know Iowa always looks like $h!t
