I would have to agree.  And from the Gophers POV, it worked out pretty well also.  We are in with Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan State, and Northwestern......plus the protected game with Wisky. 

- Probably a good thing to have TOSU on the other half.
- Sounds like most Bucky fansl hate it, so yeah....thats a plus!

The only thing I'd like to see different is the last conference game.  We play Illinois & Michigan State the next two years.  Pretty mediocre games as far a rivalries go.... 


I wonder if our side will be the "Three yards" division or the "Cloud of Dust" division?

I'll give you Michigan, but unless rivalries just means Jeff Jesser's lifetime, check it out.

Minnesota leads Wisconsin 35-24-3
Minnesota leads Iowa 59-42-2

Not buying Rose Bowl tickets or anything, however.
Looks like same old/same old. Big, strong, but slow. And no imagination.

Would you look confident if you played 100 games of big-time college football?
All these wasted years on him, and he's still the most incapable performer we have. Simply horrible.
Can't handle snap on crucial 2nd down play, can't read the defenses, always throws into coverage, shows no confidence.
Disappointing as hell.

Pounding them, driving for score to hammer another nail in, and mistakes, mistakes, mistakes.
Thats not a DI quality opponent. And we let them right back in the game. My patience with Wacker II is gone. Done. Over.

Also, two missed field goals by Ellestad.

Status: offline 		Gophers running game looks decent.  136 yards in the 1st half.  Passing game needs work.  Big time pressure on every pass play, hard to see if WR's are open or not.
Defense must slow down the no huddle.  We were in complete control until the last 5 minutes of the half.  Missed FG's hurt.  MTSU with all the mo going into halftime.

Status: online 		Darryl Thompson was quoted in the Pioneer Press this morning that the Gophers aren't going to win big games with Webber. He thinks Gray is a special talent who can win big games. He thinks Gray would be the first Ricky Foggie caliber QB at the U since Ricky Foggie.
