"the Gopher WR's have been wide open all day long but Leidner just can't make the pass"

Well, I said a few weeks ago, the Gopher's schedule is easy at the beginning and hard at the end, but it probably wouldn't be that cut and dried - They'd find a way to screw up one of the so-called easy games, and win one of the so-called tough games. That looks like how it could very well go down.

Status: online 		Just finished watching on DVR after spending the day on the golf course. Haven't read, comments yet, but just have to repeat what I was saying after the last game. We aren't that good.

Cobb's fumble was stupid, fighting for an extra yard on 3rd and long, well short of the first down. Need to protect the ball. Leidner is so inconsistent and makes some real bone headed decisions. He needs to be more accurate. The blown call on the lateral could have been a biggy, fortunately we scored on the next play so it turned out not to hurt, but ref's really need to let those close plays go, could've cost us 7. Big FG miss cost us too. Our D came out very flat and fell behind early, can't afford those big deficits. O was very flat early too, just didn't seem ready to play. We let O'Toole get way to many rushing yards.

Time to watch the WILD!

But you didn't fall for it. You stuck to your convictions that we'd mess it up. And we did.

Thanks
Youre right
Small consolation

By the way, who was a better Pro- Carl Eller or Bobby Bell? I guess they played in different positions in the NFL, although I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) they both played on the line for the Gophers.

I spoke with a player on the team that lost to Washington. He said that Warmath put them through such a tortuous workout before the game that they didn't have anything left in them for the Rose Bowl.

Banner flew overhead with KEEP BRADY HOKE PLEASE on it.
Michigan came out and put a stake in the ground at midfield ... MSU pounded them and ran it up with 20 seconds left.
D'Antoni said it was in response to the opening game bullshit. Love it. be honest. get pissed. Great stuff.

I think part of it is that we are far enough into the season where teams know our offense. They put 8-9 in the box, and they know even if we do pass it our passing game is so simple that their corners know what routes we are going to run. Major bummer yesterday.

Uh-oh

Is about all I'm gonna say.
I would consider "staying with" either team .... To be a huge surprise.
Those teams are pounding people in a way we don't.

I will be surprised if we stay within 14. More like 21.

For any chance at anything above a garbage bowl game, this is a must-win.

THIS weather reminds me of growing up in the Memorial Bowl.
Crisp Fall days. Should be a blast.
I hope the Gophers prove me wrong (and I was expecting some pissed off responses to my post earlier) .... but they've really lowered my hopes with that Illini debacle as well.
