@BenjaminKruse

"Wisconsin wins, Minnesota loses. Usually how it works."

Postgame
"They get ahead just like against Sconie and then play it cozy. With 3 quarters to play you can't play it safe against anyone. Unleash the Kraken. Forget that playing not to lose."
MatthewJames, startribune.com comment
"Congrats on a good season. Hard loss but the team is getting better and better. Fun ride and I am looking forward to next yr."
OdinSkol, startribune.com comment
"I think 8-5 is the ceiling for this program and coaching staff."
LOL, startribune.com comment

@TonyDungy
"Thanks everyone for all the support!! These past 4 years have been amazing!! Has truly been an honor to play side by side with my brothers!!"
@DCobb27
"Although we didn't win, I'm still proud to be a GOPHER! Thankful for my MN friends and family. Proud of our SR's! #SkiUMah."

"MN @GopherFootball Coach Jerry Kill & family arrive at Orlando restaurant for post-game meal; patrons sing him the Minnesota Rouser."
