What are your guy's predictions on the Badger vs Gophers game?

I think the Gophers will win but I hear some that think the opposite.

Thoughts?

Hard to say. This is the biggest game, ever?, at home for the Gophers? So much riding on this for them. They have to tackle better. They can't let Taylor go off or they're in trouble. A fast start from Morgan & company would sure help. Score early and often to keep them off the field.

It's all about getting a lead and keeping it. Wisconsin has no interest in playing from behind. Wisconsin has been good for years, and outside of 1 season, they've done it with average QB play. It's pretty clear who the best QB in this game is going to be.

I cant believe the fucking Gophers are in this position. All we could ever dream of for the last several decades was consistently being rated in the top 25, well, here we are, in the top 10, with a shot against our biggest rival, for the Big Ten West, and the Rose Bowl...PJ is the man.

It's definitely a defining moment. Win and it means to the Gophers what Alvarez meant to the Badgers. Lose and it's a bit better than what Kill did in 2014.

Huge difference!

This one game has the chance to put the program on the map and be a perennial powerhouse like Wisconsin built or it fades off into a "Good" year.


I think this game will ultimately be PJs legacy.

It wasn't a fluke last year, they just werent as good as they usually are. This year, however they are. The Gophers are better too though. Should be a good one. Our defense has me worried though. Need Winfields kid, and others to get some INTs

My biggest worry is the weather messing up our passing game. We need that. That said, better dead than red. :punch:

Ron Johnson is on KFAN right now and was just telling the story of when the Gophers beat Wisconsin his senior year.

Said Mason in the off-season had been flirting with Ohio State, and was gone often and not really mentally checked in that season, which lead to a lot of the team not being mentally checked in, and they were having a really bad season up to that point. Said on Friday he and a bunch of the other seniors were up til 1 in the morning drinking whiskey, and talking about how they hadn't accomplished what they wanted to in Minnesota, and in those moments got all fired up to beat Wisconsin...so after a night of drinking, they go and play the game, and win

That will be the key. They'll need to create some opportunistic turnovers. Fingers crossed it happens. That was the key to the Penn St. win as well.

It depends on what the conditions are. The biggest factor in the passing game would be wind, and it's supposed to be about 10mph, which wouldn't be a big factor. If it's raining/snowing, that obviously leads to issues, but that's more related to ball security than the passing game. If the field is slick with snow or rain, that's actually an advantage for the offense. A WR is aware of their routes and the defense has to react and on wet surfaces this gives the offensive team the advantage.

That’s not too out of line. I thought it’d open as a pickem and move around a point or two either way all week.

This is very cool. Note the lack safety standards in the rear stands - which are on par with current standards here. :mrgreen:



Also if you had asked me to guess the attendance of a football game from 1903 I would not have guessed whatever is visible in this photo.

I think Sagarin had Wisconsin by 6-7 points and you take off 3 for home field advantage and that's the number. Isn't a 3 point favorite still only 55-60% probability?

If I'm Philip John I am using the "Underdog" card all week.

That's straight disrespect to have Wisconsin favored imo.

The Gophers have everything on the line here.
