As much as I want the BIG teams to win

I didn't lose any sleep after Fleck loss. I have to think his self promoting is getting pretty old to the fans up north.
Fleck and his maniacal pseudo motivational speaker on speed routine is perfect for goopher nation. They should extend his deal today!
I’d feel like I needed 24 hour a day shower if I pulled Nebby or ND against anyone.Life, God, Family, Country. Football, God, Hawks, Big Ten. It's all about pecking order. Like I said, I hope everyone Iowa plays wins, except when they play Iowa. It is like having a whole bunch of little brothers.You root for them, but you still want to beat them.
Minus the fact he missed a chip shot from same hash earlier in the game. Friend kicked for a small school and went to kicking camps for many years. Even he texted when I asked about it and said majority of left footed kicker prefer left over right just like most right prefer right with their kicking motion. He couldn’t understand why they didn’t keep center or left. Plus did you forget same K hit game winner from the far left hash almost same distance last year vs Nebraska week 1?
Pj went for more yards and back went tad to far to the right thinking his all conf K would make it and he choked it away.
Gopher football, the gift that keeps on giving.
Your friend doesn't coach the Minnesota kicker and get paid 7 figures to know where he wants the ball.
You got the choked it away part right though
So why did they set up left side last year? Again problem was back cut to the right and they were right center of the field. Instead of gaining yard or 2 less and be center just off to the side. Like 2 yrs ago inside the ten we weren’t center but off to the left a little when we beat MN on a chip shot. Less of an issue that close. It was a poor call not to do a straight up the gut or qb sneak to keep in center of the field and pj got greedy trying to gain a few more yards over field position and it cost him.
Then maybe the back blew it.
Maybe the kicker likes it at different spots from different distances. Maybe there was a difference in wind. Maybe the kicker's swing pattern is a little different than it was. Maybe it felt to the kicker like there was a difference in ball pressure. Maybe the kicker had a bruised leg.
Or maybe Fleck blew it.
We have no way of knowing any of this. And the fact that people want to immediately jump at it being the coach's fault, when that's the least likely of all, is just assinign. But welcome to football fans, I guess
Are you positive they “set up” from the left last year? Is it possible they ran a play to get needed yardage that ended up on the left?
You should stop hacking on the Gophers. They are the ONLY team in college football history to play in a bowl game after winning just 4 games in a season.
That is a record that will never be broken.
Elite.
I've always thought that, and I always cheer for Big Ten teams in Bowl Games...except Nebraska. Maybe because of Big Ten pride or maybe it's because I hate the Bowl game opponents even more. Doesn't stop me from smiling a bit when Big Ten teams with douchy coaches get an embarrassing loss.Life, God, Family, Country. Football, God, Hawks, Big Ten. It's all about pecking order.

God damn I give you an A+ for this reply we need more like you!
screw conference loyalty, cheer for who you want
nobody remembers who won how many games anyway unless you win the title

Ok possibly but you spoke as if they did and called others stupid for questioning it. You’re right maybe all those factors we don’t know cause I don’t believe pj said in post game. But then again not like it would be first time coach screwed up a late game decision so it’s possible he did.
