Tempting to take -9.5 Gophers live

Next TD determines the direction of the game.
At this stage, Minnesota is the better team by far.

ESPN college football commentator Kirk Herbstreit told the Miami Herald in a phone interview last week that results from lower-profile bowls like the Pinstripe have a lot to do with “whichever coaching staff does a better job of making sure that their team understands, ‘Hey, there are still incentives to go out here and play and finish with a win.’
“These kind of bowl games are the ultimate test of who wants to be there,’’ Herbstreit said. “You watch bowl games, and I’ve been watching them very closely for a long time, and I’m always, quick, within the first five minutes of a game, in a game especially at this level — the Pinstripe Bowl — you can tell if the cold is getting to Miami, you can tell if it’s been a long year and they’re just trying to get through it, just move on to the off season.
“And Wisconsin, you can make an argument, had as disappointing of a year as anybody in the country, based on what the expectations were when the season started. So, I think both coaches have a chore to make sure that they have an interested and motivated football team to show up and compete. And that may sound silly, but that’s reality.”
Motivation for Miami includes the potential of finishing the season with a three-game winning streak that would greatly help reduce the recent overall funk around the program and carry into 2019; avenging last year’s bowl loss to Wisconsin; and joyfully sending off defensive coordinator Manny Diaz, who will coach his final game with the Hurricanes before leaving to take over as head coach of Temple University.
“You know, they hand out a trophy at the end of the game and they call you champions,’’ Diaz said, when asked what a bowl victory could do that a regular-season victory doesn’t. “Any time you have a chance to win a championship in anything it’s a big deal. We all saw the impact of losing three games in a row to finish last year’s season.’’

HUGE ............ Do they get their heads blown off by the coaching staff at the half ?
Does everything get addressed and adjusted in the sheds ?
Does the adjustments completely turn this game around for GT to come out and score a couple of TD's and a couple of goals to Minn's 1 or 2 goals only ?
May the Gods from 184 Countries be with the people that are on GT ... Me included hehehe ... Damn it ... Come on !!!

My concern is how well Minnesota are doing against the option. They do not looked concerned at all.
True ... So being a coach, and knowing that you have been completely outplayed in the first half, and using your common sense, you can see that you are going to lose this game, would you not try something completely different to stooge the opposition in the second half ? Or just go home as a no risk loser ...

I'm about to lose 2.5k which I'm dirty at myself for because my big bet was BC and when that got canned I put extra on GT to chase lost winnings. However you gotta admit, money aside, this is a fckn boring game of pretty talentless football all round. Minnesota sucks too, they just suck a little less than GT. The kicker they should put that c#nt on the breathalyzer because I'm pretty sure he's pissed.
