I doubt they'd change next year's schedule like that. Should the pandemic be over, I would be shocked if the 2021 schedule changes at all.Well this was an easy decision. I assume they will get next year at their place, too, because of no fans this year.
Possible. But with an odd number of conference games you wouldn't have to change any other game for either team, just flip all the years going forward.I doubt they'd change next year's schedule like that. Should the pandemic be over, I would be shocked if the 2021 schedule changes at all.
Except that the setup is that all west teams play the same number of home conference games each year (four one year and five the next). If you switch that one game, Minnesota goes from five home games to four and wisconsin goes from five to six in 2021.Possible.

Didn't realize that. Thanks. TCF next year.Except that the setup is that all west teams play the same number of home conference games each year (four one year and five the next). If you switch that one game, Minnesota goes from five home games to four and wisconsin goes from five to six in 2021.
Meh. We payed Iowa back to back at home in 2010/2011 due to changes to the schedule. I don't see them modifying this just because of the fans/no fans.Possible. But with an odd number of conference games you wouldn't have to change any other game for either team, just flip all the years going forward.
Look - maybe the Gophers will surprise me and find a way to win. That would be great.
I just don't expect it.
And the last thing I want is for the last game of the season to be a loss to Wisconsin. then you have to carry that stink with you all during the off-season.
to be clear - my first choice would be a win over Wisconsin.
but, given a choice between losing to Wisconsin, or playing a team from the East division, I would much rather play a game from the East. Based on the standings, likely would have been MSU. That is a winnable game if the Gophers have most of their roster available.
There is still a chance, crazy as it sounds, that we get to go to a bowl game.Look - maybe the Gophers will surprise me and find a way to win. That would be great.

I mean, 2018 happened. Who says it can't happen again?Look - maybe the Gophers will surprise me and find a way to win. That would be great.

Exactly. You can bet our players want to play UWI mean, 2018 happened. Who says it can't happen again?
The streak SON. Keep the streak!Look - maybe the Gophers will surprise me and find a way to win. That would be great.

lol there's a helluva lot less that we areAs long as the Gophers can field a reasonably complete roster for the possible Wisconsin game, I wouldn't write off their chances. There's not much evidence Wisconsin is very good.
If we had a defense, I'd give us a chance against WI (and having Bateman yet would have helped).
I am highly doubtful that our defense is in process of turning things around with the COVID players missing.
Still feel that way now?If we had a defense, I'd give us a chance against WI (and having Bateman yet would have helped).
