At this point, its all about the winning record. Lets run the table. Lets set our aspirations high. Lets get to the BIG Championship and win it. Lets get to some real meaningful january football.
Last year I was able to get to Camp Randall for the first time, and the very first thing I noticed, and it made me belly laugh, was all their banners were rose bowl appearances. Thats it. They had nothing else. Well, guess what? the Rose bowl is nothing what it used to be. It is all about the playoff. So now I am thinking to myself, how sweet it would be for us to make the playoff after all their years of being a "national brand", the SI cover, hell even the beginning of this year where they looked unstoppable and then couldnt get it done against Illinois. It is just so fitting for Us, the gophers, being upstarts and shattering all their glory in one year, doing it before they do it, that's what this season is about. Lets row the boat to the playoff baby.
I’d rather go to the Rose Bowl personally, but I get what you’re saying. We’d crush their fan base and everything by making it to the playoff. Beating their peak, after all the greatness they’ve had, and swooping in and going further than them out of nowhere in a season where most would have thought it was highly unlikely. That would be the ultimate slap to their faces. And when it comes to the Rose Bowl, I want us to make it because it was my Dads dream to see them play there and he never got to. But if this is the start to many great seasons, maybe I’d be okay with maybe getting there in the next couple years instead.

I'm kinda wishing I had taken a $10 flyer on the Gophers to win the National Championship before the season.
Wonder what the odds were?
Iowa is the one game that matters most to me - more so than WI. I lived in WI for four years, and lived in IA for five years, and in my book, Hawkeye fans are much worse than WI.
And, I humbly submit that Floyd is the best trophy in college FB - more so than the Axe.
