BTN: How about Minnesota to win the Big Ten West? Sure, why not?

[BleedGopher]

per Dienhart:

How about Minnesota? Sure, let’s go with the Golden Gophers to win the pennant in the West and play in the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis in December.

“If there was going to be a year when Minnesota could rise up, this is it,” said FOX college commentator Joel Klatt said. “Wisconsin and Nebraska are in a bit of a transition with new coaches—Nebraska more than Wisconsin. So, the time could be right for Minnesota.”

Good article, I recommend checking it out. I think that is the most thorough Dienhart article I have read.

Lots of optimism shown by Coach Kill. It's all good.

I sort of thought the Gophers had already accomplished the "rise up" in relation to Nebraska?

I just find it funny that even after two straight victories as the better, more physical team - many writers/commentators still speak of the Gophers as a team needing something like a Nebraska transition to be able to compete with them.
