This stuff, Axe not on the sidline, the Bennet article and the media attention Rand gave it is all noise anyways. Everyone knows camp Randall is a tough place to play and the Gophers get zero calls in our favor every time when we play in that place, if your a Gopher fan find your lucky charms and hope we can get a few bounces that have gone those red guys way in recent memory. See 1962 and the horendous calls that went against Murray Warmath and Bobby Bell for any further evidence you need about complete referee hose jobs.
This is going to be a tough emotional physical, football game any way you cut it because the Badgers are good on defense, and the Gophers are not to shabby on D either. There is a lot at stake for this football game a lot more than the Axe, a chance to play for a conference championship, so you know tensions on the field are going to be white hot, Gophers need to keep there cool as much as possible.
To me whoever wins the defensive line battle wins this football game as both teams have decent to good offensive lines, whichever team can control the line of scrimmage at the defensive line is going to set themselves up for the win.
Execute field positon with our kickers, keep them out of the endzone and keep the ball out of Melvin Gordons hands, and when he gets the ball swarm the guy, and the Gophers have a chance.
We win the game then we get to take pictures with the Axe, Little brown jug, Floyd the Pig and the bell at the Fair. I want to be in Indianpolis on 12/04/14 and 12/05/14 the only way for that to happen is for the Gophers to win and that is the plan for 11/29/14.
Hope for a hard fought victory and not the injury's we saw last week. Go Gophers.
