Paul Chryst’s best job of coaching today. Very impressive

The Gophers are now 1-2 against the 3 decent teams on their schedule. (We saw firsthand that Pedst is very mediocre.) They beat 1 P5 team with a winning record and had a bunch of 1 score wins against bad teams.
They are probably closer to a top 40 team than a top 10 team in actual ability. I thought UW would win by 3TDs before the game.

Way to ease into the season, though SDSU is pretty good but a level down. And they barely won those three games.
Didn’t they beat Michigan?The Gophers are now 1-2 against the 3 decent teams on their schedule. (We saw firsthand that Pedst is very mediocre.) They beat 1 P5 team with a winning record and had a bunch of 1 score wins against bad teams.

Not that bad, but probably 7-5 or 6-6. I love how our fans trash Wisconsin’s schedule and chryst’s success but we had an easier schedule this year.
That was my point. Our schedule was very easy compared to Wisconsin's. Pitt would have found a way to lose 8 games with Wisky's schedule, I'm sure.
With Pitt's schedule this year, if we couldn't win at least 9 games, we're a bad team. I'll give you losses to PissU, UVA and VT. After that, we should have won every game if we had been coached and prepared for each game. But we were close to being 4-8 instead of 7-5 with a cupcake schedule. That's a piss poor excuse for a team at this level.
Hey Robin,
No Minnesota didn't beat Michigan as they didn't play this year. You should know this being the B1G cheerleader that you are. Maybe put down the eggnog long enough to comprehend English.
Robin- you replied to comments about the Gophers, honey.

Not to pat myself on the back SMF style, but a couple weeks ago when they beat PSU and were flavor of the month I mentioned on here that they wouldn’t even be going to the Rose Bowl because Wisconsin would end up winning the division.
I still have no clue how Minnesota beat Georgia Southern, that game was all but over. They were the beneficiary of some close victories against a mediocre schedule and that one win over Penn St. Teams like that tend to bounce the following season, and I expect that to be the case with the Gophers next year.
