"24. Minnesota (NR): Brady Hoke needs a long, hard pull from the Little Brown Jug. Oh, wait ... Hoke is embattled and Jerry Kill just keeps building. The Gophers had lost 43 of 47 to Michigan, 22 of 23. As freshmen, Saturday's juniors had lost to Michigan 58-0. "A hundred thousand [fans] and not one peep in the entire stadium," senior Cameron Boticelli said. It's bad in Ann Arbor and it's about to get worse."

Those would be the seniors that lost 58-0. Redshirt juniors likely did not make the trip.

Only one spot behind TCU, four behind OSU and Wiscy isn't even ranked.

Were we even close to anyone's top 25 after the loss at TCU? I know this is only one ranking -- small sample size. But it goes to show you that beating Michigan when they're bad is still beating Michigan, and people notice.

We got three votes in the coaches poll this week too.

Maybe because we actually looked like a good team.

Tied for 37th with……….Iowa.

Also:
records of our opponents 10-12 (9-8 taking Gopher games out)
Michigan 2-3
SJSU 1-3
TCU 3-0
MTSU 3-2
Eastern 1-4

Lastly, for those of you that were insulted by the Gophs being compared to Eastern Carolina (don't remember who…Spurrier?) a few months ago. They are ranked #21 in the USA Today poll…and as you probably know put up 70 on UNC.
