Saw a stat that this was the 4th or 5th largest comeback in bowl history. Also a stat that teams trailing by 21+ in the 4th Quarter were 0-109 until I had my money on Old Dominion!
Yes, I’m still pissed off!

I don't think that's true. Gophers have blown 2 leads worse than that alone. They lost a bowl game in 2000 to NcSt that they led at half time like 24-0, and they lost a game to Texas Tech that they led like 38-7 in the 4th quarter. WKY had a lead on CMU of 49-14 in the 4th quarter, and blew the entire lead, but I think they might have gone on to win. I recall a TCU/Oregon game maybe where there was a TCU comeback from 31-0 in the 2nd half. Oklahoma St was trailing Notre Dame like 28-7 a couple years ago, and came back to win. Does that mean the gophers have 2 of the top 3 blown bowl game leads?

Notre Dame came back from a 34-12 deficit to Houston in the 1979 cotton bowl. It doesn't beat WKY comeback, but there was a BYU comeback from a 45-25 deficit with 4 minutes left, with JIm McMahon at QB for the cougars.
