On the internet video feed, the athletic dept. has an advertisement that shows a bawling child with a patch over his eye with text that reads:

"Don't let this happen to you. Friends don't let friends throw tortillas."

Take notice MGN, you're being watched!

Meager was inept as usual, 18 plays 69 yds no scores, @ TO and at least 1 Delay of Game

Phillips comes in in relief and gets 13 points, 5-7 pasing, no Delay of Games

Also PC looks like gold tonight and Warren and Weathers will be awesome as the years go on.

My wife thought that was the funniest thing she had seen in years. In fact, she was like "throwing tortillas hurts people? - give me a break" At half time they brought out big beach balls for everyone to throw around.

The tortillas only fly after a touchdown or field goal. The beach balls (green, thank God) were a distraction and wern't in response to anything. And look out for the Wendy's T-shirt cannon.

What is the little girl's name. I didn't hear anything about her in the newspaper. Is the injury going to keep her out of school ? I go to all the games and I didn't hear about a little girl being hit and injured by a tortilla.

Well I am now really remembering how it was at UNT when I was a student and we did anything.

Basically the lies and the crap run deeper than most people could ever imagine. ph34r.gif

IT IS COMPLETE AND TOTAL BS!

Yes, that was a real girl. The add also appeared on the Jumbotron. Perhaps if you watched "A Christmas Story" you would have a greater appreciation for the potential to "put your eye out."

Try slapping a fellow Mean greener with a tortilla, they sting, however, that add was just absolutely ridiculous.

Must have been the mug shot of the CSC event staff guy that tried to throw Rick out.

I don't know but I did get hit in the ear by a beach ball and now I am having trouble hearing in that ear.

A tortilla rendered me incapable of 'consortium'! This outrage must be stopped!

OK, it wasn't the tortilla. It was the fact I'm going around with 'North Texas' on my car and we lost to ULM.

I thought that ad had to be a gag. They showed it on the scoreboard?

"Um, they're dangerous. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw some kid hideously disfigured by a thrown tortilla pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess that's pretty dangerous. "

It was.  And yes, they showed it on the scoreboard.  I thought it was hilarious.

It was funny, but not as funny as when the tortillas were thrown for the first time during the game, and I looked at Rick standing on his sit, with his arms crossed, showing the event staff that he wasnt throwing anything.

The fans at Texas Tech began soaking the tortillas in water, then letting them harden in order to get more sailing distance with them. They did become quite dangerous and caused several injuries.Which is why they were outlawed there.

Um, no. They were outlawed when the NCAA made it illegal to throw anything onto the playing surface. This became even more of a problem when Tech moved their stands closer to the field. In our case, that has NEVER happened, and never will.

I think they were just trying to be funny about not throwing tortillas.

I thought the sign was funny, as did most of the people sitting around us... and we know what funny is, so you can trust me. It was in fact funny. Dont believe me? Call TBS, they will tell you if its funny or not. Then you can laugh without wondering, "is this in fact funny"

You'll have to repeat that it was sarcasm over and over again until it clicks for everyone here.

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.
