Back to the Quick Lane Bowl. BG brought the people last year and they couldn't wait to have us back again. It's great for our fans. Once in a while, I'm sure the players would enjoy a little more of a trip, but it's great for the team's supporters.
More to come on the opponent, which is the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
As in....
YEP. ROW the BOAT. They were the last team to get into a bowl, with a 5-7 record. And, we can't forget, that they were the victim of the most improbable upset in BG football history...as the Falcons won in 2021 coming off a dreadful 2020 year and in the midst of a just-slightly-less-dreadful 4-8 season. BG lost the next 4 after that win.
One thing is that Minnesota's starting QB for 2023 is in the portal. More on that all later.
Good job to our guys for getting this far. Let's bag a Big 10 win and an 8-win season. If you are in the MAC, every Big 10 win is meaningful.
It seems somewhat fitting. They recently dropped us from their 2025 schedule to play one of the bigger boys (California, I think?) and postponed our rematch in Minneapolis until 2028. (It looks like BG still has not lined up an opponent to replace the Minnesota game in 2025.) I hope our boys play with a chip on their shoulder after that insult!
