Giving Up on Gophers

A lot of Minnesota Gopher fans checked out after the blowout loss to Ohio State. Can't blame 'em either. It's been a miserable season of missed opportunities and poor execution.

However, I was surprised to see Yahoo missing scores for the last three games. As proof that I captured the image recently, look at the dates on the other schedules.



In case you are wondering, Minnesota fired Tim Brewster October 17 after a loss to Purdue. Interim coach Jeff Horton finished the season 2-3. After Ohio State, the Golden Gophers lost 8-31 to Michigan, but they wrapped up the season with consecutive wins--38-34 over Illinois and 27-24 over Iowa.

A current team report on Yahoo! Sports begins, "Here’s some advice for Minnesota’s video department: Save all video from Games 1, 11 and 12 for the archives. Then burn everything in between." Maybe Yahoo was also too embarrassed by the OSU results to continue posting scores.
