I mainly made this thread to LOL @ how hilarious Eastern Dakota looks against Northwestern, but there are a lot of good games tonight/today.

And they've tied it up!!!

You can tell this is a team on the rise.

College football paradox of the week: Gophers are the only BCS team with 3 losses, but they are 2nd in the nation in time of possession. Hahahhaha. We've only been in the red zone like 14 times too. I don't know how we are that high in time of possession, probably because we give up TDs so fast. Hahaha.

Goophers are pulling out their inner-Boise here to get their first and likely only B10 win. Running the misdirection wheel route for a TD and now the RB pass.

I don't think there is any way they win this. The D has looked brutal and has benefited from 2 Northwestern turn overs. I bet Minnesota loses by 2 TDs and don't get a win in conference.

Illinois up on tOSU. I'm pulling for tOSU because I'm going to be in Madison to party for the UW/tOSU game and it would add to the atmosphere if both teams were undefeated.

The thing is, it's pretty much a lock they're going to play UW close next week. Especially with Iowa and OSU looming in the near future.

Northwestern is unbelievably white this season.

I think you're being a little pessimistic. All the Badgers need to do is give it to Clay. Our front 7 is just terrible. Then after Clay does his damage, Tolzien can throw a play action pass to a wide open Toon for a TD. Then go back to the run for a while and follow it up with another play action throw down field. There is no way Minnesota will be able to stop Wisconsin at all. Then Weber will probably have 3 fumbles from trying to scramble and not protecting the ball. Throw in a blocked punt/fg for good measure and Wisconsin will win by 50+. I'll be watching the game from the Stadium bar, probably close to blackout.

Haha, I may be there too.

Our roles are reversed. UW fan in MN and UM fan in WI. Anyways, I'm heading back for the homecoming game and I know a bartender at the Stadium bar so I always try to get there before or after the game to get a free beer or two.

I used to live across the street from there for a while and a few blocks away my last 2 1/2 years of college.

Grendon not sure if you saw this last week when I posted it but I think you are the one that is always ripping on the ACC and Big East right?

Haha, yup...that was me.

I rip on them too, its amazing how bad those conferences are yet they still get teams that are greatly overrated every single year.

My best friend's older brother has a friend that works there, we always get free Rumple Minze shots. He was a cheerleader for Minnesota, so if you see a big dude with a full Minnesota cheerleading track suit or a Minnesota letter jacket at the Stadium Bar, I'm probably some where close. He got recruited to be on the cheer team by lifting at the rec center. He was our stud DE in high school when we went to 2 state championship games and won 1. I love badger game days in Madison though, so much fun.

Nice, I'll keep an eye out, however, I'll be there with a large group of people coming back into town so I'm pretty much going to be going with the crowd with everyone else.

With that, I'm heading to Rosen's to watch this game downtown.

Bad offsides penalty for Illinois. Damn.

Luckiest bounce ever for Minnesota. Return guy fumbles and it bounces right into the hands of another Minnesota player who runs it an extra 10 yards.

This is the worst play call I've ever seen. Brewster/Horton are idiots.

Here come the boos.

LOL at Minnesota.

We just convert a huge 1st down to get us to the Northwestern 40 with a minute left. Let's call a weak run play right up the middle that goes nowhere. Two incomplete passes later they're looking at 4th and 11 and then the 4th and 11 pass gets picked off.
