Bottom 3 in the Big Ten with a kid that is borderline all american and another one that is at worst 2nd team all Big Ten. How does that happen.

Weakling Wednesday for the fourth time in seven years; that says it all.

Earlier in the season I was bummed that the schedule didn't give us two games against Nebraska but I guess we have that now.

Better chance to win 5 in a row, though, if we're on other side of the bracket!

Yeah...I'm not sure Maryland would love the current draw either.

Actually in 2005 the Gophers were the #5 seed but with only 11 teams that was good enough to get a bye into the Big 10 Quarters.

“Make it to Friday” again the appropriate slogan for Gophers this year?

I guess if one assumes that Thursday is a given.
