    CFP Rankings: OSU 1, WI 8, PSU 10, Mich 14, Iowa 16, Minnesota 18

    There should be no rankings until four or five weeks in any area. Those first rankings are always guessing where teams should be. Then they go back and say. They beat Notre Dame when they were ranked 10th or something like that when Notre Dame never should have been that high in the first...

    Crowd control getting on rail

    So you are saying in your previous reply that the fastest way to go west is to catch a train going east and that train will end up returning west? It kind of makes sense....

    Crowd control getting on rail

    So your catching the station that is going toward the stadium not the one going to the Viking stadium? I know on the way back to the Viking stadium the door opened at the next station but it was too full for anyone to get on.

    Sconnie continues to land refs that turn the blind eye

    I know both teams played in the same weather but I think the Gophers could win this game if not played in slop. IMO it was a terrible match-up in this kind of weather for the Gophers. Wisconsin had to be thrilled when they saw the forecast.

    Crowd control getting on rail

    We are normally pretty calm people so we handled it but there were a lot of tempers flaring when a mass of people would just cut in and everyone else followed them while folks who had waited a half hour were left behind.

    Crowd control getting on rail

    This is my first experience using the light rail at the stadium sight. I think they need to do a little better with crowd control. Especially on days with expected big crowds. There was no manageable crowd control with getting on the train. At Viking and Twin's games they have guide rails...

    We got Out Coached Big Time

    Yup ... hope that happens.

    We got Out Coached Big Time

    You could see that screen was going for big yards before the pass was complete. There were two Gophers out there. Three Badger linemen ... two other Badgers. One Badger lineman kept looking for someone to block but there were no Gophers there to block.

    We got Out Coached Big Time

    Somewhere ... since last year we have turned into a finesse team on offense. We used to run to set up our pass. Now we pass to set up our run. Our pass game was not consistent against the Badgers so we were never able to set up the run. I really think the weather conditions hurt the Gophers...

    We got Out Coached Big Time

    My son and I were talking about just skipping the fake handoffs because they paid no attention to them. He thought they did it that way because that is the way they practice it. I agree ... that extra fraction of a second to see your receiver would help with the pressure we were seeing.

    Flat out got out coached

    Told my son at the end of the first quarter that we are in trouble...could see the Wis. lines start to dominate. Wis. was more creative on offense and expected better.

    Shuttle to the game?

    So just get on Fort Snelling and go to Viking Stadium ..... Get off at the Viking Stadium and catch a train to TCF. If we want to go to Game Day we get off at East Bank Stop. Again we are not from here so if it sounds like it should be obvious ... it is not. How far of a walk is it to the...

    Shuttle to the game?

    Got an early Christmas present from my son tonight. Tickets to the Gopher/Badger game. We haven't been to a game in six or seven years. We used to get on the train at Fort Snelling and then get on a Bus part way through the trip. My family didn't know if it was the same process as it was...

    I was very indecisive when I was 18. Depended who talked to me last that sometimes left the strongest impression. If he was in Iowa for the game this week ... the atmosphere and excitement might have been enough to convince him. We have lost a lot of players over the years to Iowa. I don't...

    I am super happy that the Gophers are on a roll and getting national exposure. However, I think you do have to be the right kind of recruit to fit in with Fleck. Fleck comes with a package and the kids he gets will have to be the kind that buy into that culture.

    Surprised this Gopher success hasn't spread a bit more to the locals.

    Gophers open as 4 point underdogs at home against Wisconsin

    If we tackle well and maintain gap integrity I think we can win. If we tackle like they revert to on occasion and allow Taylor to cut back ... then I think we have a rough time with the Badgers. I think this game lies in the hands of the defense ... if they step up Gophers could win.

    What grade would you give the Gophers defense in win over Northwestern?

    I’m pretty sure it is head and shoulder injuries that they are trying to prevent. Still love that tackle with the arms wrapped around the legs.
