On only one occasion (2005) have the Gophers received a bye into the BTT Friday quarterfinals. That'd be sweet if it finally happened again, wouldn't it?

I am not saying this to be a buzzkill, but I would see getting a bye into Thursday a major step forward. It's no sure thing to finish ahead of 4 teams right now, especially with the start that Nebraska has had.

With you 100% on that. The road is long, still.

Just sayin',

Wow Nebraska & Minnesota not playing until Friday... We're usually trying to sell our tickets by Friday... That would be so sweet, even though I realize it is a pipe dream at this point.

Dangerous assumption, but if they keep doing well, it's a damn shame that this is in DC this year.

Not an assumption, just something I'll update every 3 games or so! If Gophers are in top 4 (double bye) at halfway point, then we're talking. 2nd half of B1G schedule is the easier half.

Sorry. I was saying it's dangerous for me to assume they're going to keep winning.

I see it happening barring key injuries.
