I’m going to eschew my usual 3,4,5 post after this past weekend’s game in order to focus on the strong feeling and sentiment that, “these are the same old Gophers,” “It’s just a game by kids, it shouldn’t effect us,” “Minnesota will never amount to nothing,” etc, etc, etc.
First off, this season is a completely independent event from every other season in Gopher history. Tying what happened in 1972 or any other past season to what happens in 2016 isn’t too logical.
Second off, I don’t think that Penn State was a “bad” team. They’re ranked 38th by S&P+.
