per BTN:

20. Minnesota at Iowa, Oct. 28. Three words: Floyd. Of. Rosedale. Is there a better rivalry trophy in the galaxy? Nope. The Hawkeyes have won four of the last five battles for the bronze pig and 12 of 16, but freshly minted Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck is a new dynamic.

22. Nebraska at Minnesota, Nov. 11. Nebraska has won the last meetings, ending a two-game losing streak in the series. You know P.J. Fleck will have the Gophers rowing the boat in a home game vs. a rival and blueblood program.

23. Wisconsin at Minnesota, Nov. 25. Wisconsin has dominated the Golden Gophers. In fact, Minnesota hasn’t won Paul Bunyan’s Axe from Wisconsin since 2003, losing the last 13 meetings and 20 of 22 since 1995.

Go Gophers!!
 


Apparently half the conference games Northwestern plays are more interesting than *any* of ours.

Good to know.
