Just a quick milestone alert.... with the win the Gophers have clinched a tie for first place in the Big Ten West!

Now, to beat Wisconsin to get to Indy!
 

I'll be cheering the Boiler crew to upset Sconnie. They did just recover a fumble.
 

This is one of those times where I think a “share” of the title is meaningless. Works for the regular season in basketball, but we’re gonna need just a little more for football :)
 


Right now, the focus is on beating Wisconsin and getting to the Big Ten championship game, but a share of the title is still something.

Exactly. Obviously we want to win it out right next weekend but still a big step in the right direction to be no worse then tied for first in the division at the end of the season.
 

Not only have the Gophers clinched no worse than a first place tie for the division, even if the Gophers lose, they will have the second best record in the Big Ten, which hasn't happened since they won the conference in 1967. If the Gophers beat Wisconsin and Michigan beats Ohio State, the Gophers will be tied with Ohio State for the best record in the conference.
 

Michigan ain't beating Ohio state.
