per Shipley:

Next week’s Big Ten opener against No. 11 Michigan State, in East Lansing, will go a long way toward telling us how good Minnesota really is, or can be this season.

“One of the best teams in the Big Ten, one of the best teams in the country,” Fleck said – and, well, maybe. That East Division is loaded. But how much fun will it be?

It seems all but certain the division championship will come down to the annual Michigan-Ohio State game on Nov. 26. It usually does. But the Wild, Wild West? It doesn’t have any ranked programs but heaven only knows what will happen between the lines when these teams meet in conference play starting next weekend?

Every weekend is a crapshoot, and maybe three or four teams have a chance to win it all, including Minnesota.

The Big Ten West. It’s not terrible, it’s fun. It’s not weak, it’s wild.

Strap in.


Go Gophers!!
