Gopher Players threaten to Boycott Bowl Game.

I know we don't have all the facts yet and we may never know what really happened, but Tracy Claeys is a real football man who has displayed some great leadership since taking over for Coach Kill. He will get them through this situation stronger than they were before.

What a sad state of affairs for Goof football. That program, which was already barely treading water, appears to be going straight down the tubes. Gonna lose recruit s over this big time.

They could. If it turns out the players involved are actually guilty of something wrong and the team is backing a bunch of sexual predators.

But if all the players are risking a bowl game and possible scholarship loss because they're sticking up for teammates that pulled a train on a gal with her consent, then I applaud these guys for sticking up for their teammates. A bit weird and degrading? Yes, absolutely. But not a criminal act. If guys who pulled trains on college girls all got kicked off the team, they're be no college football or basketball today.

Tracy Claeys will eat his way through this situation.

ESN Radio just said Northern Illinois would take Minnesota's place. What a lousy replacement. I'd rather see MSU vs Wash St.

Jeez, why a MAC school? Do they have to take the next 5-7 team available? That's one heck of a bowl bid for any team in the MAC, let alone one with a losing record.

Random Player: "Hey where you'd get that dilly bar?"

Tracy Claeys: "They got a stand right there behind Section B....2 bucks"

Whoa whoa whoa. Hold your horses, Rachel Maddow. Don't put words in people's mouths. First of all I don't think anyone's ever proven nor even implied that there was a "gang rape" in this situation. A prosecutor declined to press charges, and I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that (especially in today's day and age) if there were any inkling that part of it might have been forced, you'd see that prosecutor err on the side of caution and file charges. I'm not defending the players by any stretch, but if the legal system isn't a good enough "standard" for you then I don't think there's anything you and I can talk about.

Second, there's nothing in @hawkdrummer1 's post that suggests he's doing that. Triggered, victim-seekers like yourself are free to have any opinion you want about any situation, but you don't have the right to project your cockamamie bullshit on others and start throwing blame around like it's hot. Especially when you accuse someone of being ok with "gang rape" (your term, not mine).

You sure use the word "trigger" a lot when "discussing non direct sports stuff on a sports discussion board. Ya, you went out on a limb. Maybe you've heard that laws have been changing in this country for about 230 years or so. Might be a shock. Should get out of Iowa once in awhile. You get so pissy about certain things. As I said before, maybe "big boy" comments and expect mature responses. You are such a cad. You sure spend a lot of time talking to people you just don't have anything to talk about with which is mainly non sports related topics. Your responses do come across as cad like and good ole boy wink wink like. Betcha think Baylor got railroaded. Poor Ken Star and JoePa huh?

Dude, you seem really triggered by this stuff so that you can't have real grown up conversation.

I get pissy? I seem to remember you getting all fired up about me saying a C average isn't hard in college just because of your one (non-lawyer/engineer) meathead kid who can't pass classes. And a whole bunch of other stuff. Wallow in it if you want. Just don't tell me how to think and I promise you won't hear from me :)

In a statement the players said they have had enough and will boycott the bowl game. They ask that the bowl game be patient and give them time to work out the situation.

I hope the whole thing blows up. I don't like the Golden Rodents or their fans

Likewise, don't make dumb comments and you won't hear from me. Hugs.....
 
When I was a student at Iowa many years ago, I found myself in a room with 10 members of the Iowa Women's Track and Field team. One thing lead to another and before I knew it they had each had their way with me, sexually, one after another. Yes, it was consensual, but they should have known not to take advantage of me in that way!

Maybe it was one of those types of deals. They're fairly common, right?
