Way to go, BOILERS! Righted our ship and sunk their boat! It's great to be able to post these excerpts after a great road win. I'm looking forward to many more posts this year!


4-0 BABY AND BACK AT THE BANK!!!!! Our swagger is lit! The fan base is jacked up!! We have Homecoming, we a chance to go 5-0 heading into a bye week, we have a chance to take a critical next step in what is shaping up to be a magical season. GET 'ER DONE FLECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today we start the big push.

Boilers Down is the watch-word for this one...

Wearing gold. My oar is in the water! Let’s ROW TO 5-0!

Punish them. Destroy their will!

Gophers ranked #1 because of defense.

Rowing to the Rose Bowl! About to buy airfare on points!

Gonna be a good rest for gophers this week and next to see if they are really contenders. Need to take care of business going into Penn State.

That was not a good start...

Please just don't get punched in the mouth right out the gate.

Dang. Must have read press clippings all week. Purdue making us look like MSU.

Purdue playing like you would expect the Gophers to.

Holy shit. That had to be offensive PI.

We absolutely got "Minnesota'd" on that drive, both sides of the ball.

That was an absolute dominant drive. Their crap RBs were running through us. Unless we wake up right now, it's going to be a disaster.

Announcers finally realized Mo wasn’t in the game.

We should be able to move on Purdue without Mo.

Purdue just hit us hard. They're a very good team. Our defense has been overhyped. This is our first test.

I'm more worried about how they scored with true FR and walk-on RBs running through our defense. We are incredibly flat.

B1G West favorites for one week. It was fun while it lasted.

The Minnesota Sports Gods hate irrational Exuberance!

It’s early. A long game. A brick is not a wall. Time for concern, not panic … or despair.

This is Bowling Green all over again. Things went to shit in that game when we went for it on 4th and 1 from our 30.

That’s a terrible play call and decision. Basically giving Purdue 3 points and probably a 50% chance it’s 7 points.

This is why this team will not win anything big .... PJ panicking way to early that 4 and 1 was a stupid move.

If you actually believe your D is as good as the numbers say you are, don’t go for it in that situation.

Purdue's D line is dominating!

Gophers OLine getting dominate to start this game.

No Mo, no win. Morgan is not a good enough passer with no run threat. Gonna be a frustrating day.

Purdue shooting the gaps hard on the D front. Really hard. Need to find a way to make them pay.

Purdue came to take away the run game...

Breaking news, college kickers are shit!

All right. What else can go wrong?

Sweet Jesus. Can we hit the reset button?

I woke up this morning feeling like we could beat anyone in the country. I feel like a fraud right now. Dunno what's real with this team now.

Absolutely stunned.

Its tough for us as a program to not have our number 1 WR/RB.

Next up needs to row the Boat. Nuff said.

Cancel Pasadena reservations. Look into PinStripe Bowl...

One of those games where nothing goes the gophers way. Purdue came to play and MN did not.

Let's say even if we had the talent to keep up with Michigan or Ohio State... our coaching will be the downfall. Absolutely terrible coaching so far today from the Gophers.

Great INT. Beautiful play. Now it's time to rock and roll. Kirk needs to open the damn play book. Get jiggy with it.

Our dumbass fans booing a timeout.

How can we have left ourselves with such bad RB depth after last season?

Welp, good news is there is a lot of season left.

Need to take advantage of this fumble.

I'm not too sure Tanner Morgan came to play...

Trice looking good for Purdue. Throw it where he ain't.

Hmmmmm, maybe it’s time for a quick QB change to wake this team up. That throw by Tanner was terrible.

It hit him right in the crotch.

Why did we not have a game plan on offense? This is a clown show.

Did everyone get food poisoning before the game?

Nice Bushwhacker D on that last fake drive from purr-don't.

Now that was a nice toss to Jackson...

I said it before and I'll say it again.... Daniel Jackson is rowing the boat.

O-line getting schooled. Our future NFL center just got beat on a stunt.

There is no way there was inconclusive video evidence the call on the field was wrong. If his knee touches down would rubber not come up?

You have got to be shitting me.

If we don't win this game, that drop in the end zone and INT may literally change the fortunes of the entire season.

Unbelievable. Perfect call and ball and easy TD and that happens?

Pull his scholarship!

As George Costanza once said: "I'm speechless. I have no speech."

More clown college football.

Literally gonna vomit.

I blame all of you.

Man everything is going against us, you just are not going to win with 3 pts on 3 trips inside the red zone.

And a late hit. This is the sloppiest Gopher game I've ever watched.

Clearly you are new here.

Late hit shit!

Oliver playing Santa for Purdue's offense.

I hate football!

Is scoring a touchdown not part of today's game plan?

Fur f$$k sake ? Can we suck it anymore then we are?

How many ways do you blow a homecoming game?

This game is PJ'S chance to show us if he is too much of a clown show to ever win the west.

We are literally giving Purdue this game.

Unreal number of stupid mistakes hiding how the Gophers are slowly pulling ahead on a play by play basis.

Nubin INT. YES!

I like the sloppy play by Purdue.

That end of the half will get us in the Guaranteed Rate bowl.

Both offenses are trash imao.

Only down 7 at half is a absolute miracle!

How do you figure. We missed a chip shot FG and MBS dropped a TD into the defenders hands. We're outgaining Purdue at half.

Gophers should refund all ticket buyers.

Halftime stats include MN outgaining Purdue and getting 3 turnovers in a single half, and somehow being outscored by 7 without a defensive score by the other team.

Get ranked and they think they're God's Gift.

PJ is exactly who all of his critics thinks he is. If he wants to prove me wrong, he's got a second half to do it.

No reason to worry. We got this; big second half turnaround.

That half is exactly why you NEVER take a Gopher football team seriously.

Sad part is that even through that mess, Purdue really hadn't taken much advantage. They're playing terrible as well. But we're being incompetent enough to let them have the edge. Beyond frustrating.

Well, the good news is that even though the Refs are against us, and everything that could go wrong... did go wrong.

Look at the haters flooding the thread! Welcome back!

Mo Ibrahim is one heck of a security blanket... It's tough when you don't have your binkie.

Why is the game vs Purdue always a sh*t show? It's either injuries, turnovers, penalties, or so e combination. Purdue vs MN is never a boring game.

If you want to be taken seriously as a contender for the B1G West, the Gophers need to put the worst half of football behind them and dominate the 2nd half and win this game. Purdue appears more than willing to let you beat them.

Trailed Purdue 13-10 at halftime last year, won 20-13. Trailed Wisconsin 10-6 at halftime last year, won 23-13. Lots of game left.

Fantastic opening defensive series! Thanks guys!

Defense really playing well since that first possession. game is in the O’s hands. Purdue’s D is not good. Just do it.

Have to punch this in.

If we get a TD here... we win by 2 TDs. Calling it!

This is what the offense should have looked like an hour ago.

Rushing TD!

60% chance to win on the ESPN game tracker. Everyone take a breather. Myself included.

HUGE STOP!

I like this punt returner. Looks like he's done this a time or two.

Guys... breaking news... our Defense is for real... and is really really good. They are flying around. And against Brohm who is known for his arial attack... this is legit.

Terrible spot. These refs suck.

Our punter is terrible today! 34 yards - come on.

I really don't want to give the lead back. Time is running out.

Gift penalty on Purdue. Can't let them convert and extend the drive.

Thank goodness. That's the 2nd time their punter has botched it into the end zone.

I just don't know how long our defense can bend... the offense isn't even doing badly on passing plays but some how, we feel the need to run. Like what the hell, Fleck?

PJ is a joke. I remain open to him shutting me up.

It’s funny though last week PJ was the great savior but this week he sucks. Amazing how much execution can change perspective.

If we end up losing this game, you'll know the reason. The Coaches and their chicken conservative play calling.

Quick Lane bowl here we come!

I had confidence on pulling this one out until the last two atrociously piss poor offensive possessions. D is breaking now. It’s over.

Well the D couldn’t hold forever. O’Connell much better today than Morgan.

AOC is trash today.

Hey look, they can make a field goal under 30 yards.

Well, it's Tanner time... We'll see if he's up for the task, I guess.

Opportunity for Tanner's Heisman moment.

Well, at least Iowa and Wisconsin are losing.

The good part of losing this game is they will be back to a more comfortable position the rest of the season - not expected to dominate.

Just a pathetic series. This was never a top 20 team.

Purdue is just going to run Mockabee. There is another TD in their future. Embarrassing for the Gophers.

Mockabee up the middle for 65 yards

Geez.... when did Mike Alstott reup with Purdue?

We threw it 33 times with 0 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.

PJ is exactly who his critics think he is.

At least we don't have to worry about who's stealing him for awhile.

We just can’t have nice things.

I want all my NIL money back ASAP.

The bandwagon just got a lot lighter.

Purdue dominated the line of scrimmage and took away the Gophers running game. Without the ability to run the ball the Gophers are a mediocre offense. Pinstripe Bowl should be fun.

Offense is not very good, lot of smoke and mirrors. Purdue is a better team.

Au revoir, Rose Bowl. We hardly knew ye.

PJ is who we thought he is.

We were favored by 10.5, and we almost scored 10.5. Shouldn't we celebrate that?

If there was any doubt who the MVPs were for Minnesota and Purdue? Aidan O'Connell and Mohamed Ibrahim.

Well you can kiss the B1G West goodbye. Hello, Outback Bowl.

Purdue doesn't even deserve this game... It's all on Fleck.

Accurate assessment. Purdue isn't good. They should have been easily dispensed.

Too busy reading the positive press clippings and lost to an inferior team.

I'll be the first to say it; hats off to Jeff Brohm and the Purdue Boilermakers.

Brohm is just a better coach than PJ.

Oh, puhhlease. They sucked too. The gophers just sucked way worse. They were gifted a win. Congrats to them, I guess.

I never saw it coming, with or without Mo. How does the friggin Purdue defense hold us to 10 points?

PJ is a crappy in game coach still!!

Let's all chill out. PJ reads the team a children’s book each week. I'm sure a group reading of Everybody Poops will solve all our problems.

Disgrace! Refs sucked. Tanner sucked. Potts & Williams sucked. D was better than O. We just showed everyone why not to hype us up. We’re worse than FAU!

Next week Fleck should read the team Horton Hears a Who! (And its name is Purdue!).
