Insight Bowl: Minnesota vs Iowa State

  • gorocks99
    Thought it's probably one of the worst bowl matchups of the year, I've gotta start the thread. Game is tonight at 6pm on NFL Network. Here's hoping the Gophers can get the Big Ten to 2-0.

    Is Decker playing? I know he has had a lingering ankle injury.

    Also who will be the QB for the Gophers?

    This game has always been on the NFL Network.

    Probably just a contract the NFL network has with the bowl game.

    Decker is done for the year. He'll be out for this one. Fortunately, ISU's top CB is out as well.

    QB will be Weber, though I'm hoping Gray gets more than a couple snaps (10-15 offensive plays would be nice).

    Tell me about it. The NFL Network blows since I can't get it at home, so I gotta go out on New Year's Eve to find a place in Boston that will show the game.

    Actually this game was on ESPN up until a couple of years ago.

    Goldy Gopher better get it done

    Both of these teams are pretty terrible. I think Minnesota wins though.

    Probably due to the abundance of NFL talent on both rosters!:rolleyes:

    HALFTIME

    Minnesota is just not capitalizing on opportunities. Interceptions are hurting them, along with an unlucky trip by the safety on the last ISU TD.

    anyone watching that can give some short updates?

    The Gophers are driving with 4:43 left in the game down one.

    Minnesota gives the ball away with a little over four minures left.

    Iowa State 14
    Minnesota 13
    FINAL

    Good job Goldy. Way to rep the Big 10
  • JoeA1010
    Leave it to Minnesota to blow a game.
  • DaBrowns41
    Hold on to the fucking ball, you idiot. To think, they could have just kept it on the ground and kicked a field goal leaving probably 1:30 seconds on the clock with a 1 point lead, and 1 player had to blow it.

    It's frustrating.

    Wow Minnesota completely dropped the ball with this loss. Huge blown chance to start the bowl season off right for the Big 10. Here's hoping Tim Brewster gets fired for his embarrassing performance.

    If they can fire Glen Mason for a bowl game choke job (against Texas Tech) then the same can happen for Brewster. Way to tick off my New Year. There goes the Big 10 chances at a perfect bowl year.

    Minnesota gave one away they should have won. Northwestern is in the process of doing the same.

    pulling for Iowa tonight
