Minnesota takes it down the field to score and burns a bunch of clock

Lobos come right back with a 100 yard kick off return and gets the 2 point conversion to tie it.

Go Lobos!

A "lobo" (Spanish for wolf) primarily refers to the Mexican gray wolf (Canis lupus baileyi), a critically endangered subspecies once common in the Southwestern U.S. and Mexico, known for its distinct coat and vital role in ecosystems, but now the focus of intense conservation efforts to bring it back from near extinction. It's the smallest and most genetically distinct North American gray wolf, facing threats from habitat loss and human conflict.

Lobos have been gifting the Goofs with some real bone head plays.

After 35 years of this Bowl ( was the Insight at one time ) the attendance record is still held by Iowa/Oklahoma, 54K at the 2011 game and the runner up? Iowa vs. Missouri 53K. Last time Minnesota played here they drew about 21K. I suppose the opponent, New Mexico might have buoyed attendance a little, maybe 25K...

Has Minnesota played anyone good in bowl games?

That said, great catch to win the game by the Minnesota WR. I was wondering what the QB was doing throwing that?

Interesting seeing the two former hawks compete each other. Nester would be nice to have on the roster next year. Also makes me wonder how often it really works out to transfer... For Keegan, is losing to the gophers playing for new mexico what he envisioned?

He's listed as a senior. In 2021 & 2022 he was at Iowa; 2023 & 2024 at K-State; 2025 at New Mexico.

This season he had 57 catches for 730 yards and 3 TDs.

The announced attendance (total tickets sold & distributed) was 27,439

Actual butts in the seats (scanned tickets) is always less.

Not necessarily a murderer's row of opponents, but nine straight bowl wins against the likes of Washington State, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, West Virginia and Auburn is nothing to completely scoff at.

Of course for the sake of fairness and full disclosure, it also bears mentioning that they had lost seven straight bowls before this current winning streak.
