I think at least for the time being, the Gophers fans should stop needling the Badger fans that frequent this board. Wisconsin has had a more successful team than the Gophers in recent years, there's just not doubt about it. Gopher fans don't have much of a place to be criticizing anybody as of late.
I have to admit, I DO love some of these Badger fans though. Apparently, they've forgotten that Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, and Iowa are also in the same conference as them.
Let's give them the credit they deserve. They're a solid second tier Big Ten team that has been able to somewhat consistently beat the likes of Indiana, Michigan State, Northwestern, and Minnesota.
Big Ten Powerhouse? Since the Xmas gift Barry handed BB in his first season, the Badgers are 3-8 against Iowa, Michigan, OSU, and Penn State, including 1-6 in the last two seasons.
Gopher fans should at least recognize that Bucky has had some success in the BT and keep their mouths shut for at least a little while. In recent years, where Bucky is hovering around the 3rd to 5th best team in the conference, the Gophers have been around 6th or 7th. In my opinion, that doesn't give us as Gopher fans much of a right to poke fun at Bucky (even if it is tempting).
