If there is a bright spot to Penn State's blowout loss to Michigan, it's that Fowler and Herbstreit have been assigned Mississippi State-Alabama while Minnesota-PSU gets Joe Tessitore and Greg McElroy, with Katie George. As noted previously (I think), this is on ABC at 7:30 PM.

Yeah he does said it last night, and down played us pre Auburn. I do not like him.
Do you remember precisely what he said? Did he actually say he disliked Penn State?

I'm used to the dozens of Syracuse, Ohio State, and Michigan alums broadcasting games, and I can at least understand their dislike for PSU. But I don't understand why a former Alabama QB would feel negative to us. Is it still the darned scandal nonsense?

I caught it flipping channels something to the effect i'm not impressed with Penn State he also made a snark remark around the Auburn game.

As an announcer you can say something like Michigan looked impressive today and let it go. There is no reason to say i think this conference or team is over rated and doesn't deserve this or that. Act professional , his precious school lost on Saturday also.

He should take lessons from announcers like Blackledge, Huard, Gilmore and Orlovsky.

I don’t know what he said, but it sounds like he wasn’t wrong. Penn State WAS overrated and did NOT deserve to be ranked #10.

But why take it out on Penn State? The media drums up the ratings, not the school. Perhaps it would make more sense if he called out his peers that spoke highly of PSU.

Because Penn State is not viewed very positively by the majority of the world these days. That’s why.

Why is this a bright spot? Herbie loves the White Out and Fowler spent time growing up in State College when his father taught at PSU.

Part of losing is learning to eat humble pie. Who cares what anyone "says?" It was earned on the field Saturday.
Want to change the tune.....play better.
In September he also said Penn State would be a mid of the pack SEC team.

I knew and every PSU fan got their butts kicked on Saturday.

If the remarks came from Blackledge or Millen i'm ok with it-- not an announcer who played for Alabama.

What is incorrect about that statement? Again, if you want accolades you best earn them. There was a time that PSU got less recognition than it deserved. Perhaps from 1968-81.
PSU Alums and Fans need to understand that it's been 38 years since a true title contender here.
Going 5-0 off a predominantly non-conference schedule is as good as it gets. It doesn't tell one much about how the season will go in the Big Ten.
There are no bigger PSU fans than I am. But, winning is earned. That's why its special.
Everyone loves the winner.....especially fanboys.
Let's toast to changing the narrative starting Saturday. If PSU can't win that one....then they are an average Big Ten Team.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. :sneaky:

I guess I would disagree with your statement on title contenders, unless you are defining it as just winning the MNC.

I would argue that in 2005, 2008 and 2016 we were in the conversation until the final weekend. That to me made us "contenders".....

Let's not forget 1994, that was only 28 years ago, but I do get his point.

Isn't that My Minnesota Gopher fight song? ;) This game scares me. I am expecting Penn State to come out angry. I am hopeful we can make a game of it. My Gophers have been out played, and out schemed. I am just hopeful for a well played game with no injuries. It is odd that both of our fan bases feel basically the same way.

Anyway, I am happy and honored that we get to be part of the Whiteout! Though maybe not the way it was looking when we were both 4-0, I still think it has potential to be a decent game. Just hoping we can make you guys work for the Victory Bell!

Cheers!

We're happy to be in your company again. You and your crew treated us well in 2019. We are looking forward to returning the favor of hosting you at our tailgate and sending you home with a loss. See you Friday!

That is so disappointing that Tessitore and McElroy doing the call. McElroy is an idiot.

Okay, I saw the 2016 team and they were not national championship contenders. A great story....a top 10 team, but Alabama would have crushed them.

Don't worry, then the season is already ruined this time.

This is not an acceptable post to the BWICAC. Gophers have lost 2 in a row. Any post is required to include a demand for a new coach, crying about his contract at the very least. A demand for the backup QB since TM has proven in 6 years that he won't take you to "the playoffs." Certainly there are players that have transferred or recruits that went elsewhere that would have "made the difference?" How about at least one little ,"We deserve better?" :cool:

Ha! I go to the Gopher boards (Yes they exist) for that. Kalikimanis (sp?) is who everyone has been begging for. That was until he tried to force one into triple coverage in the Illinois game. Morgan, from most accounts should play.

Cheers!
