Interesting take on the Maroon and Gold from ESPN's Maisel:
Minnesota isn't the best team in the Big Ten, but it's the most interesting. The Golden Gophers went 1-11 in 2007, Tim Brewster's first season, and rebounded to finish 7-6 last year. Is Brewster a miracle worker? Could be. Could also be that Minnesota returned to its typical state. Glen Mason got fired for sticking around .500 too long. One big difference: Brewster has an on-campus stadium opening this season. The first two home games, against Air Force and No. 12 California, will provide evidence as to what difference, if any, that makes for the Gophers.

The Gophers are the most interesting team in the conference?! Okay, I guess.
