*** Official Minnesota Game Thread ***

It is so frustrating when you have the game won with less than 3 minutes left and you just gift it back to your opponent because you do not have the mental strength to say “this game is ours”. I guess the monkey is permanently on our backs.. we simply cannot get over this hump.

It was like watching Titanic on a loop

The previous 3.5 quarters don’t matter when you’re up 7 with 5 minutes left. Try again

I do think Rhule will get it done. Eventually

 

But God, it’s hard not to feel snakebite right now. 

Too many players who have no idea to win.

4 fn turnovers and 2 of the INTs were floated right to the DB. Sims is not the answer. We need a QB.  The OL didn’t help. Why the f didn’t we fix the OL?!  This was the big weak link.

Every RS JR. and every SR minus a couple guys shouldn't see the field again this year.  If we are going to lose, might as well have a legit reason.

Our whole left side got abused tonight.

I honestly can't tell if this take is serious.

 

So when we false started on their one yard line and could have QB sneaked for the TD...that didn't matter?

I watched Northern Colorado and Abiline Christian on my 2nd TV tonight.  I’m confident we could beat Northern Colorado. 

I wish I shared your optimism. At this point, I do not think we can beat anyone. This Minnesota team was nothing special and we just found a way to gift wrap the game for them.

[Wistrom Disciple]

Maybe I missed it, but did we use our true fullback(s) at all tonight? Felt like a lead blocker on some of those Ervin runs could've sparked him that second half. Also, disappointed we couldn't find the tight ends more often... Fidone is a matchup problem for most opponents and we couldn't find him once.

[AlaSker]

We made plenty of mistakes and this piece doesn’t necessarily change the game in any perspective. But I am so perplexed that the ref staring at Lenhardts face mask couldn’t see that he was being egregiously held as well- dragged by the backside shoulder pad is more descriptive

Time to do the only Deion thing that we agree with for the night, get red of them and start over.  Maybe that guy did have a good idea, run the guys who have no idea how to win out of town and start fresh.

I’m really not overly optimistic, UNC is just really bad!

Our whole left side has been abused for years, not just tonight.  Hell our whole right side has been abused for years, not just tonight for that matter.

Just like in every day scenarios sometimes u have to go through the pain for extraordinary amounts of time before u see the rewards. Which I know, with what these guys get paid, we expect immediate results. But good times are just around the corner. Just keep some optimism
