To OP's question -- why UNL vs ND ? ESPN's FPI has them winning this game 98% of the time. Would a more competitive game, save for Clemson @ GA Tech, like the poster mentioned be of more interest for us to pick against?
Good choicesGophers
Ohio State
Nebraska
Georgia
I think the chatter isn't because they're our biggest rival, but because they are an elitist program that we're able to dunk on and feel superior toAt least on Gopher Hole, Nebraska has quietly become Minnesota's biggest rival. I think it's because it's easy to dunk on them these days, but I hear a lot more chatter about what's going on in Lincoln than Madison or Iowa City.
