Minnesota Gophers are now 1-1 after what Thor Nystrom calls a “pathetic loss” on Saturday to Mississippi State. Was it the play on the field or the postgame press conference that bothered Thor the most? Ross Brendel and Thor Nystrom are together again on Gophers 101 still trying to make sense of whatever it was that we saw this past Saturday at Huntington Bank Stadium. Up next for the Gophers… A get right game against Akron. Hopefully.

Minnesota Gophers are now 1-1 after being outclassed at home by Mississippi State. The Danny Collins Gophers defense continues to disappear and be non-existent when needed most. It is really tough to win that way, not just in the Big Ten, but against anybody. What's more annoying... The play on the field or the postgame P.J. Fleck press conference? Read the room, P.J.! And yes, Kamario Taylor is REALLY good.
