Well, they’re not laughing. McNamara out for season.

They may lose all the remaining games.

 

[psuro]

Need to Average 30.5 points per game to get to 325.

 

[VicVaselino]

With that schedule we might only lose to us.

How far has Nebraska fallen that their Thanksgiving Friday game - which used to be nationally televised vs Oklahoma - now gets Iowa during leftovers? Very strange to see a traditional perennial power (which was perhaps frequently overrated - like in ‘94) become so mediocre.

Pretty far....
Last bowl 2016
Last bowl win 2015
Last 10 win season 2012

Depending on how creative BF is (TIC) there’s between 3 and 5 loses on there. Ain’t that a shame.

Ha! That's college football. That describes my Gophers at their best for decades now.

Historically it’s a very difficult rut to escape.

I’m finding 9-2 is A ok here on the Tom board. What MINN record is A ok on your gopher board?
”Go Gophers beat central Michigan?”

It's realative. I'm not okay with mediocre, but until a time machine is developed or I win the lottery, there is little I can do but buy a ticket. My hope is that we will once again be amongst the best, but there is no shame in making bowl games and occassionally taking down a blue blood now and then (Please God let it be Michigan or OSU).

To answer your question, the expectation was/ is to win the West and give an earnest try at the BigTen Championship. This year is it. We may have missed our window.

I should have made myself clear. I was laughing at Nebraska (and Iowa) Like us, they have to get players from out of state to have a chance to make the Quick Lane bowl, let alone the college football playoffs. And... that is with more "recent" success.


Penn State is a whole different animal. You are surrounded by 4 and 5 star recruits. You really don't have to recruit. You select. Understandably expectations should be higher.

Wow. It’s so weird to see Penn State the envy of anyone. Huh.

The envy is real. When I go out with @STPGopherfan he is forbidden from making eye contact with me.

Sad, but true! Especially if you have very few Johnny's and Joe's in your back yard.

Sadly, it's true. Kind of hard to invite one to dinner when I have to sit at another table...

I thought the 325 was over 13 games. In that case they need 26.75.
