Big Ten Thursday loss chance: Minnesota

[Hawksel]

Gophers were up 14 - 0 on Middle Tennessee State, but MTSU just tied it up at the end of the first half in an explosion of offense. The Gophers are also on the road in Tennessee.

I'd say "upset watch" but I'm not sure if it'd be an upset.

 

[Hawke]

I'd call it an upset if Minny won.

 

[PJHawk]

Looks like the MN field goal kicker sucks, he's missed a 39 and a 40 yarder.

 

[unkydave]

They can't lose! They play in the best stadium in America!

 

[ICHawk24]

Minny opened as a 4.5 pt dog, but were a 1 pt favorite today.

Middle Tennesse St. is always knocking off a BCS school. Just ask Maryland, they beat them the last 2 years at Maryland.

One of those games was in Murfreesboro.

 

[iowaoutlaw99]

Sorry you are correct.

 

[unkydave]

Sorry you are correct.

No biggie. I just happened to be at that game. They (MTSU) also have beaten Vanderbilt a couple of times in Nashville. They do have some talent there.

Maryland has a football team?

MTSU had the Sun Belt Preseason OPoY, their QB Dasher. But, he is ineligible due to borrowing $1500 from some old guy with which to gamble. Dasher lost it and refused to pay the guy back.

Uh...what?

 

[unkydave]

Dasher is lucky he isn't wearing concrete Nikes in the Cumberland River.

 

[Sirhouseman]

I can't imagine that Minnesota is THIS bad. MTSU is an absolute dump. How are they losing??? I am starting to feel bad for Weber.

 

[CAARHawk]

Uh...what?

Seriously. The guy was 80 and a patient in the veterans convalescent hospital. The guy said he didn't know Dasher was a football player, just knew him as a gambler. He loaned Dasher the money for a high stakes poker game.

Then Dasher lost the money and refused the call the guy back. The guy then called the cops.

It's true, you can't make this stuff up.

My Lord, the Goofers are just plain terrible.

why would you risk your education like that?

Can we kick Minny out of the Big Ten to make room for someone else? Can we vote schools out? After Middle Tenn got the jitters out of their system they have been controlling the game.

 

[Billso]

Play4brew! Gofightwin, war Minnesota football! Eeyahhhh!

Actually, I prefer that Minnesota stays in the B10. There is enough good teams already.
