I haven’t seen or heard too much complaining about the age disparity among the Q and Minny players.

They always used to look for any excuse.

Well, it's Sunday morning, the season's over, and 8 is still > than 5.

It was interesting that when they asked Sean Ritchlin(sp) in the intermission who will win he said if MN does it will be in the first minute after that when it gets to 5-10 minutes in it will favor QU.   It was almost word for word what he said before Yale beat MN in the first 10 seconds in 2013.

And Barry said it definitely won't be a pretty goal to end it.

I didn’t care for the call either if it’s the one I’m thinking of.  Anyhow the right team lost.  No hanging of #10 from DU or Mich. and BU n Goofs stay at 5.  Good job Q - couldn’t have asked more from you.  You made my season somewhat tolerable.

I thought the coaching by Pecknold was a thing of beauty. Such a ballsy call pulling the goalie with three minutes to play. At the time he did that, I openly complained to my wife how that was the wrong decision. Goes to show why he’s the coach and I’m sitting on my living room couch. 
 

Edit: Not to mention, that set play to start the overtime (which I eventually got to see after the fact). Just a great piece of coaching in such a high pressure game with everything at stake. Hats off to coach Pecknold and of course, to his players who executed. 

I was thinking not again

If he did that in the N he'd have to answer for it. Coincidental penalties, sure, but saying Cooley did nothing wrong is hilarious. 

The problem was the near ref basically said both or none - which I agree with at that pt. In the game n then the back ref has arm up - the optics looked bad there

What was the call?  Looked like holding to me.  He wrapped his arm.

Think so - Cooley had a little extra 

[ksl_sioux4ever]

I think it's the combination of the stick up by the head and the hand/arm that knocks the helmet almost halfway off. Lucky that wasn't reviewed and called for some kind of 5 for hitting the head. Nchc refs, we know they like 5s for head contact

It all evens out Gophers were the benefit of a PP earlier in the period on a call that could have gone either way as well.

Yeah, but you won’t hear Minny fans talking about that.

Gofer goalie was so depressed after the game he walked into oncoming traffic.  Damn truck went right between his legs.

It was iffy…if anything both should have went.

But, there was that hooking call on Q a little while before that plus that hit earlier in the game. W was due for a PP

Perets outplayed Portillo Thursday. 
And Saturday? It wasn’t even Close.

Right. Or the first pp of the game they got for their guy getting checked in the arm lol. 

[Dustin]

I also think Q was due a PP after some questionable calls earlier.

That makes sense. I didn't watch it live so didn't know that.

At the same time, when the champagne is so close you can taste it, don't give the stripes the opportunity to ref based on the score.
