per the STrib:

After finishing with their best football record since 2003 last season, the Gophers weren’t shy expressing their confidence Monday at the start of Big Ten media days.

“I think there’s no question we want to continue to improve on what we did last year,” coach Jerry Kill said of a team that went 8-5 and 4-4 in conference play. “I think anytime you go into the Big Ten, if you don’t have a mission to win the Big Ten, then why play?”

The Gophers’ schedule appears tougher, with a nonconference game at TCU and this four-game challenge to end the season: Iowa, Ohio State, at Nebraska, at Wisconsin.

“When we say we want to be 12-0, we mean it,” senior running back David Cobb said. “That’s not a joke. We’re not just tossing that around. We feel like anybody on our schedule we can beat, home or away.”

Go Gophers!!
 

High aspirations, low expectations. I think that's the way to watch Gopher sports.
