It's big boy time now and no better way to show we're Big Ten West contenders than winning on the road at #16. Win the turnover battle and we win.

GET 'ER DONE JERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 


per Shama on Northwestern:

Tomorrow’s game against the 3-1 Gophers won’t come close to selling out.

Go Gophers!!

Saw in another thread the Gophers sold out their allotment though. Great to hear!

This is a big one in terms of winning the West. I don't think Northwestern is really the 16th best team in the country. It's a great opportunity to win a road game against a ranked team.
 




NW doesn't sell out mainly because it is a private school and generally only those who attended school there have any interest in their programs. I've been there a couple of times and it was half empty despite both teams having telatively good records. It seem to me like we had a third of the fans but perhaps that was skewed by Gopher fans being very vocal. ��.

Go Gophers!
 


I want to listen to the pregame show, but couldn't find any information about it on the KFAN site. There is a glut of useless information there. I think I need to meet with their web guy. Two hours before kickoff?
 

I heard them say 10:00 when they promoted it yesterday.

I believe Kfan's flagship pregame starts at 9am and the partner stations at 10.
Let's make it 3 in a row against NW!
 

Thanks Limegrover, we're still at 0 points.


Wanted to get that out of the way ;)
 






Northwestern is most certainly NOT the 16th best team in the country. It will make a win look that much better though. A win on the road against a ranked team should give our guys a pretty big boost!
 

With the heavy winds, i see the gophers having a better power run game then the cats. I think we win if the oline steps up and Mitch does not need to throw more than 15 times, especially with this wind.

I was hoping that they would put him out there for his standard option run, and then have him surprise the hell out of everybody with a forward pass.

Well said by DT. And win the turnover battle!

But don't try too hard to force turnovers. They're like Christmas. They can't be earned.

Yes, I'm going to abuse that quote for the rest of the season.
 

Desmond Howard, Herbstreit, and the guest picked all selected the Gophers to win.
 

3 of 4 guys on Gameday took the Gophers to win today
 

Triple pick of the Gophers on Gameday!
 

NW is natural grass right? Just curious.
