I wish it wasn't next week. In Laws that roll their eyes at me when I watch sports will be over having thanksgiving dinner. Being a guy in enemy territory could have been massive amounts of fun for a get together. Instead I've got my uninterested inlaws in my house trying to make me feel guilty for watching sports.

Not me.

1) Beat them in Lincoln
2) Not that cold.....but cold nonetheless
3) Foo Fighters/Royal Blood tickets were on sale this morning......I was in line too long.
 


If the Gophers win they unite the Pig/Axe/Jug in the same season and go to the conference championship. Sorry, but this is way bigger than 2003.

How big is this game? Let me count the ways:

If Gophers Win - they
1. Win the Axe
2. Snap long losing streak to WI
3. Win the division and earn a chance to play for the B1G championship
4. Deny Bucky a shot at the championship

5. Would tie our best conference record since 1967 (6-1).
 


What does "Biggest Game" mean exactly?

If it means "Hype", then this is probably the biggest game since the 60s.

If it means "most important", I'd take Michigan in '03 and Wisconsin in '99 as being bigger, since winning those two games puts us in the Rose Bowl. Right now we are still 2 games away from such possibilities so it is not quite as big IMO.

Symbolically, as ornery pointed it, it would be huge.

At the end of the year those games ended up being huge games. But at the time they were played, they were early in the season. I think going into the actual game, this one is by far bigger than any one we've had in a long time.

You have to look at the glass is overflowing, there is no guilt in watching sports or specifically the Gopher Game. The guilt is on them for not being up to speed on the biggest news story in this state.
 





Winasota I'm with you I'll be with inlaws all day who will not be watching sports...I for one am thankful that this is on BTN because I can sneak away to "poop" many many times throughout the day and watch the game on my phone with the BTN2GO app.

Right, we knew only after the fact how big they were. Here, we know in advance everything that is at stake.
 

Biggest game in my lifetime. Michigan 03 was huge from the hype and that it was a home game. However, it had no direct result if we had won. So proud of this team. Ski-U-Mah
