Minnesota Game Thread: Reelin' & Rockin'

[cipsucks]

"I looked at my watch, and I said damn, I hate these 8 o'clock tipoffs."

 

The Golden Gophers have lost 4 in a row.  That is the definition of reelin'.  Pay no attention to the fact that 3 of their four losses were nothing to be ashamed about.  The Huskers are definately rockin'.  They won their first conference game played in Lincoln on Saturday.  Okay, that's not really rockin', but just play along....

 

To the chagrin of some Husker fans, I look at tonight's game with Minnesota as a chance to pick up moral victories.  We're 18 point dogs.  Sorry, but I see the potential of an ass whoopin' coming our way.  Hope I'm wrong.  All I ask for, is the Huskers to play their best for 40 minutes.  Shoot better than 40% from the floor, keep turnovers under 12, don't get outrebounded by more than 5, and shoot 70% or better from the line. 

 

Do all that, and I don't care what the final score is.   Go Big Red!

 

 

 

[tcp]

ha! you're not asking for too much there, are ya? nope, not at all.

 

GO BIG RED!

[cipsucks]

tcp, if we do all that we stay within single digits.  That would be a moral victory.

Just pass the tuna hot dish and stay away from the lutefisk, don't ya know.  Oh, and have some more powder milk biscuits:

Going to be rough watching them get offensive rebounds most of the night. Other than that, I think we have a decent chance of staying with these guys until the end

watching the replay with michigan. minny in the paint is scary.

hey, I'll take it. I'd love to win, obviously, but I'd be pretty happy if we can play well and make these guys sweat it out, too.

Okay men, let's get er done.

Time to get the pumpkin seeds and a cold beer, tipoff is near!

If we can handle the first four minutes, taking Nebraska and 19 points will look pretty good.

Pumpkin seeds have lots of fiber, you realize, right?

 

That's good fer, uh, regularity.

 

Not so good for the peeps in your general vicinity.

 

Might go take a Beano right now. Just sayin'.

[49r]

Might be firing up a plate of nachos here pretty soon.

Minnesota is going to come out pissed, I am worried about this game.

[Huskerpapa]

I am hungry for some fried gopher.

[tcp]

oh no, the debut album guy again. (sob)

[cipsucks]

I bet Minnesota comes out flat. 

[tcp]

dammit, lost tip. it's getting away from us! (heh)

[Huskerpapa]

Man...turnover already

[cipsucks]

That was the flattest looking dunk I've ever seen.

[Huskerpapa]

Not the start I would want...what the hell is wrong with Rivers

[cozrulz]

We just don't matchup very well against these guys.
