Admittedly this was a difficult Stroll Through Twitterland for me. Not because the Gophers loss, losses happen, but the reaction from fans and media was difficult for me to read. I don’t want to come across as a Mitch Leidner apologist. Mitch has his deficiencies, yet he also brings a lot to the table. But the vitriol that was thrown Mitch’s way after this game really got to me.
The general consensus was this game was lost because of Mitch and I completely disagree with that sentiment. I'll concede the point he didn't go out and win this game for the Gophers but he definitely wasn't the reason they lost the game like so many have made out.
