Predict the Penn St. score

[Ask Not]

What's the temperature out there? A month ago I'd have said the home team gets blown right out of their own little stadium by Penn State, but the boys have shown adaptability and in-season growth.

I still don't think the Gophers have the athletes to match up with Penn St., but it will be somewhat respectable.
I'll go 24-13, Lions.

[Bob Wiley]

34-20, Penn State, I hope I’m wrong.

[Ski]

Damn I hope it's an upset. That said, 35-17 Pedophile State.

[RubeTube]

38-13 PedoState

[jffl_commish]

41-20, child molesters.

[beetlebum71]

I'm gonna row that boat!

34-24 Flying PJ's! A late Antoine Winfield pick 6 seals the deal.

[feekdogg]

PSU's weakness on defense is in the middle of the field. Bateman/Johnson could go ape-poopy.

[The Replacements]

21-17 Penn St

[hategreenticemase]

I believe! Gophs 30-27!

[NonprovincialMNFan]

Lions 38 gophers 7 (Maybe 10).

[Da Gas Man]

34-17 Penn St.

[Slap Shot]

Current spread is PSU -6.5

The Gophers have performed between +6.5 and +28 against the spread their past 5 games (3H and 2A), while PSU was +52.5 against spread vs. Maryland, but were anywhere between -10 and +1.5 4 of their past 6. However, their best performances against the spread in that stretch were all on the road (Maryland, Iowa and MSU).

PSU had bigger win margins against their only 2 like opponents (PUR and MD). PSU outperforms MINN on most key defensive efficiency stats while MINN does the same on most offensive eff stats. PSU likely wins this game 7/10 based upon predictive results based upon the line and location. PSU's SOS is 7th toughest, the Gophers' is 77th.

Fuck it:

Gophers 21
PSU 17

You clearly have spit up some of the gopher kool-aide you have been guzzling. Slow down big shooter.

Just realistic. The thing that makes me miserable would be to be considered a clueless "turn that frown upside down" homer.

What are you talking about? I have said at least twice they are likely to lose this game and laid out above why they should.lose. I was simply having some fun with the prediction and at least one other poster picked up on it. Come on dude.

Ahhh. ...we are good. I get the enthusiasm.
I hope I am dead wrong, said so in the other thread.
And I am not a big fan of when posters starting putting words in my mouth that I didnt say, as was your complete fabrication that I implied they should shut it down.

I didn't say you suggested they should shut it down, I said if your attitude is they will never get it right they might as well shut it down. Cool?

Bottom line from my POV is this program currently looks, acts and smells differently from anything we've seen for decades and that the whole approach from the President to the AD to the staff is different. Fleck's teams look more prepared consistently and while you're right they haven't "beaten anyone yet" per se, would you not agree there hasn't been a coach/roster at the U that would also be 8-0 against this schedule for decades? Doesn't that alone make them different?

Peace.

Maybe it does look differently.....it's just prudent at this point to be sure, and we will have a better vision after we see what they look like against more valid competition.
Butt, now it doesn't really matter, the extension is done.

Are gopher fans OK with the extension if they suffer 3 blowout loses and squeak a W against NW?

No, it will look, act and smell different if they win some of these upcoming games.

Many of you gave us these same speeches during the Kill years.

It already does and Kill never had anywhere near the same level of buy-in.

To the previous post if they suffer 3 blowout losses it will be a speed bump and I'll take your previous bet in that they will not lose 3 games by 14+

I never said anything about 14+ losses and never said they would lose all 3.

So it's all good if they lose all 3 if it's by 10+ and a "Speed bump"? Cripes. No wonder our sports scene is filled with mediocrity.

The level of "Buy in" will go right down the can if they bomb those games.

They still have NEVER beat a ranked opponent in the Fleck era for cripes sake.

[Slap Shot]

No.one said it' would be "all good" and the 3 loss comment was for another poster.

And yeah you've already mentioned their SOS about a 1,000 times. It hasn't been great but this program has had weak ass schedules before but never managed to.go 8-0.

I look forward to watching Fleck's program grow and prosper. You can be Debbie Downer to your heart's content.

I'm not a Debbie Downer, I'm glad people are excited I'm just saying people don't have to shit on others who haven't bought in yet is all.

Imo we will lose to PSU and Iowa but beat Wisconsin.

Not sure how all the tie breakers would go. They need to be playing in the B10 title game for this to truly be a success.

Ohio St is going to butt fuck whoever they get so I'm not concerned with that but go win the West.

I don't want to hear the BS that this is a good building block etc.. Heard it too many times with the Basketball team, football team etc before. You could end up with Ohio St and someone like Michigan on your schedule right away next year and be done before it even started.

All this "70 years talk" you need to do something with it now.

No, they can't "end up with Ohio State" on the schedule. This isn't the NFL. Schedules are set years in advance and Ohio State isn't on it. Michigan is. Next year's schedule is about as soft as this year's.

[Ask Not]

We seemed to get along a lot better when it was just one forum. Is that what we need to go back to?
IS IT?!

21-18 Gophers win.

Never took a look at it. Like I said, I haven't been paying much attention. This team doesn't give me much of a reason to. I will be checking it out on Saturday.
