Yeah but 3-0 is still 3-0.Beating inferior teams in the last minute every week. Good thing they schedule 1-aa and weak 1-a teams.
Yeah but winning absolutely ugly....I can’t wait until they actually play someone.Yeah but 3-0 is still 3-0.
I get the knock on SDSU and Georgia Southern, and despite my feeling towards the regional FCS teams that MN has scheduled/played being a bit misunderstood outside of those who follow those teams, Fresno State has, in the past 10 years, most definitely been a better program than MN. They've been ranked 3 times in that period, and the Gophers had only one year in which they received enough votes to be ranked in the top25. Fresno State is 64-56 in that time period. MN is 58-59.Beating inferior teams in the last minute every week. Good thing they schedule 1-aa and weak 1-a teams.
We’ll see what happens when they play teams that are slightly better than the 3 they have played, though their BIG schedule isn’t too bad.I get the knock on SDSU and Georgia Southern, and despite my feeling towards the regional FCS teams that MN has scheduled/played being a bit misunderstood outside of those who follow those teams, Fresno State has, in the past 10 years, most definitely been a better program than MN.

And if you want to go more recent, or under the current regimes, Tedford has an obscene record at FS with a 22-8 and PJ having a mediocre 15-13 record (ironically they both happen to been hired at their current posts the same offseason).
Considering all that; maybe for the mighty FBS playoff-bound Nebraska Cornhuskers, Fresno State is a 'weak 1-a' team. But not for the Gophers.
That was a quality, quality win last year, and I believe it will be a quality win for us this year as well when it is all said and done.
The Gophers schedule certainly wasn't easier than Nebraska's -- yet Minnesota is 3-0 and Nebraska isn't.We’ll see what happens when they play teams that are slightly better than the 3 they have played, though their BIG schedule isn’t too bad.
Every year I've been told Nebraska will be good.Every year since Jerry Kill I’ve been told Minnesota will be good. Every year they have one of the worst quarterbacks in the BIG. That hasn’t changed and I’m just not a believer in PJ. I still think they finish slightly better than Illinois.
This is also unfortunately true.Every year I've been told Nebraska will be good.![]()
Hey HWM, this is a Gopher-bashing-to-make-us-feel-better-about-our-Huskers thread. Take that post to the OMG-We-Suck thread.The Gophers schedule certainly wasn't easier than Nebraska's -- yet Minnesota is 3-0 and Nebraska isn't.
Yeah, I know ... I was trying to stroke the furry little fellas on a Husker forum, which is not really in anyone's best interest. Except for Formo.Hey HWM, this is a Gopher-bashing-to-make-us-feel-better-about-our-Huskers thread. Take that post to the OMG-We-Suck thread.
