The game was officiated horribly, and both teams got a lot of bad breaks. As one fan pointed out, Nebraska got away with obvious pass interference and roughing the passer on the same play near the end of the game. There were a lot of missed calls and bad calls, and they went both ways. It may not be much consolation, but the incompetent officiating evens out, it really does.

Will Rhule make it to year 4?
everybody knows my name replied to BoSolich's topic in Husker Football
Wow, I thought Minnesota had bad fans. Based on last night's performance, I'd say Rhule is building a team that will be physical, detail oriented, and play at an accelerated pace. And if he can get the personnel, that will be a winning combination. Put the brakes on the loser bandwagon. Your new coach, in his first game with an under-construction roster, playing new schemes, against a pretty good Big Ten team, on the road...almost won. -
Dang right, you're about 8% of the way to accomplishing my hope.

This is correct!

Hey folks, I'm not the most active poster on this board, being a rabid Gophers fan and all. But some of you will have seen that I said that I hope the Huskers finish 11-1 this year. I really mean it, I'd like to see your team succeed. After all, though I consider Nebraska a rival, your team isn't a hated rival. The nicest outcome I can think of in the Big Ten West would be for Minnesota to finish first and Nebraska to come in second with defeats of Wiscy and the Ioways on the ledger. So good luck, all. And don't forget why Iowa plays on artificial turf...

It's a beautiful facility and a fanbase that does it justice. I hope the Huskers enjoy an 11-1 season in 2023.

** 2023 Opponent Preview : Minnesota (Game 1) **
everybody knows my name replied to Saunders's topic in Husker Football
As a Gophers fan, Gosh I hate this old line. Bernie Bierman won five national championships at Minnesota, and Murray Warmath won another. Glen Mason turned around a losing program. And Henry Williams won 136 games in 22 years, at a time when college teams regularly played fewer than 8 games a year. PJ Fleck is having a decent run, you know, having taken over a team that was winning under the previous two head coaches, but winning more games in an era when they play 50% more games per season doesn't make him the best coach we ever had. -
*** Matt Rhule Hired as New Husker Head Coach ***
everybody knows my name replied to Mavric's topic in Husker Football
If I were a Husker fan, I would probably be satisfied but underwhelmed by this hire. If that's how you feel, I got you. Good luck, NU. I look forward to your team being a great rival and frequent second-place finisher in the West division. -

Really looking forward to this game. A win against Nebraska always look good on the resume, even in the 21st century. -
Staggering is a good word. Astonishing is another. This is incredible money.

Minnesota for Nebraska
everybody knows my name replied to everybody knows my name's topic in Husker Football
I would probably lash out too, if I were you. Don't feel bad. On the other hand, go ahead and feel bad. -
You will never see so many Husker fans in Minnesota as there are today. Just wanted you all to know that we're pulling for you.

Go Beat Iowa - Signed, Gopher Fans
everybody knows my name replied to Dano564's topic in Husker Football
Ouch! but I can't argue. I still believe in Scott Frost. We might have reached the point where only non-Husker fans still believe he can win there. -
Go Beat Iowa - Signed, Gopher Fans
everybody knows my name replied to Dano564's topic in Husker Football
I am really looking forward to watching your 20-17 loss to the Ioways next weekend. -
This Minnesota Gopher fan wasn't happy when NU hired Scott Frost. I still think if you give him enough time, Frost will eventually turn the corner like Frank Beamer did at Virginia Tech. I think you guys could be happy with Beamer's post-1993 results. But it isn't easy to patient, is it?

Serious List of New Head Coach
everybody knows my name replied to Ggodd002's topic in Husker Football
Glenn Caruso Craig Bohl Mark Mangino Lou Holtz You did say serious, right? -
On a personal level I don't like Fleck. If he was my neighbor I think I would egg his car. People who want to demonstrate their emotions and be validated all the time drive me up a wall. But it's hard to argue with on-the-field results. With the Gophers' soft remaining schedule, Minnesota should expect to finish 4-2 the rest of the way, making an 8-4 season. I'm chalking up Iowa and Wisconsin as losses, since Fleck never beats genuine rivals. But if the team performs against either of its two most bitter rivals, Minnesota could finish 5-1. Maryland at home WIN at Northwestern WIN Illinois at home WIN At Iowa LOSE at Indiana WIN Wisconsin at home LOSE

** 2021 Opponent Previews : @ Minnesota (Game 8) **
everybody knows my name replied to Saunders's topic in Husker Football
Gophers fan here. I'll tell you right now, this was never the case. This is revisionist history. Jerry Kill was a heck of a coach, and the school (and fans) wanted him to stay in the job for the next 20+ years. Unfortunately, the fans didn't know about his epilepsy and the school didn't know how badly his epilepsy was going to be aggravated by the stress of major college job. But if Kill had been able to stay in the job, it probably goes without saying that we would have enjoyed more success from 2016 to now than we have. Fleck might have a higher ceiling than Kill, but we'll never know for sure. Kill will always be a 'what might have been.' -

That's an Adrian Martinez Special, right there. -
** 2021 Opponent Previews : @ Minnesota (Game 8) **
everybody knows my name replied to Saunders's topic in Husker Football
Trey Potts ran for 34 yards on 10 carries against OSU after Ibrahim's injury, then 178 on 34 carries against Miami-Ohio and 121 on 26 carries against Colorado. He's been good in emergency service, though we'd all rather see Ibrahim starting. As good as Potts has been, Ibrahim had already gone for 163 yards and 2 TDs on 30 carries before getting hurt against the Bugeyes. He's still contributing, though - acting as a coach in practice and at games. Fleck is only half-joking when he says that he's already offered Ibrahim a spot on the staff when he graduates. -

The Gophers under Fleck seem to start the season weak and get stronger. They have improved during the season each year that the Fleckster has been in charge. -
No further test, you mean? Because they have played a conference team and a ranked opponent already.
