Great Moments in Gopher Football: Did You Say Utes?

PrintThroughout HATE WEEK, we'll be looking back at some of the memorable moments in Gopher football history. Because all teams have moments of ineptitude, but few have so many widely available on Youtube.
September 8, 1990:
Minnesota opens their next Rose Bowl campaign against the Utah Utes in the Humpdome (a nickname based on the reference to Hubert Humphrey in its formal title, but destined to take on a whole new meaning when Iowa fans helped the Gophers close the place). After staging a furious third-quarter comeback, Minnesota was tied with Utah and had driven to the Ute 12 yard line with only 8 ticks left on the clock. The Gophers set up for the game-winning 29-yard field goal. What happened next? Magic.
You might think there is no sound in the movie, but that's actually with the volume turned up to 11. It just turns out there was nobody in attendance.

I was there. 9-year-old me was not pleased.
Everyone fails. The successful learn from their failures. I just wish we'd quit giving ourselves so many learning opportunities.

It's ok.
At least I’m getting used to the ending of this movie.

Don't forget the Budweiser ad on the other side.

No one's mentioned this yet...
….but these incredibly tragic wonderful clips illustrate what KF was trying to avoid at the end of the OSU game (especially the one where Weber throws the pick six). Maybe that’s the difference between us and Minny: they go for broke and end up broke; we have been winning games maybe others would have lost.
Minny had the ball on the 29, us on the 32. We had one TO and about 50 seconds, they had about 30 seconds. Minny had an experienced QB in Weber, we had a frosh in Vandy.
What happened to Weber could easily have happened to Vandy Saturday.
If it's not too much trouble, search your soul--and then ask yourself if maybe I might have a point.
Couldn't agree more
26 seconds left with no timeouts on the 29 yard line, what are you trying to prove. You deserve to lose for that.
It's not that I'm lazy, Bob, it's that I just don't care
Holy Shit
I had never seen that clip. That’s awesome.

That’s so….weak.
DO YOU HAVE PRIDE, DANNY?

Agreed. Rejoicing over a player injury?
I saw that last night and was going to respond, but figured it wasn’t worthy of my time. It’s one thing to point out the collapse(s) vs. jNU, but to point out the Stanzi injury as a highlight is out of line.
Unless Hawkeye State posts a youtube clip of Decker injuring his foot and ending his season by stepping out of bounds the wrong way. Decker’s a pansy.
(I hope the idiot Gophers know I’m kidding about Decker being a pansy.)
