***OFFICIAL wisconsin AT MINNESOTA PAUL BUNYAN AXE RIVALRY GAME LFG IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

[Dakota2]

You rather go 0-2 against them and be 9-3?

A team good enough to go 9-3 is much more likely to beat one or both than a 2-10 team.

 

[gopherdudepart2]

Go Gophers!

 

[stocker08]

Everyone but McAfee on Gameday picked the Gophers.

 

[gopherbadgerman]

4 out of 5 pickers on ESPN picked MN

 

[IceBoxGopher]

Gameday guys are on our side! Let's Gooooo

 

[Gophergrandpa]

Sadly I saw Kaliakmanis's wrist band. It only had one play on it, run up the middle.

Damn, they dropped the other play: run off right tackle! Simplifying the offense, I guess.

 

[Ewert86PC]

You rather go 0-2 against them and be 9-3?

I'd rather be 12-0 or 11-1.

Let's Go Gophers!

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Sounds like Lindenberg starting. DT out unsurprisingly.

Likely the kiss of death especially if Des Howard is on our side!

Lindenberg being back is huge for our LB corps. Sucks that we will be really short handed at RB again.

 

[Igor95]

Let’s make it baxe to baxe to baxe wins against these guys! RTBSUMGG!

 

[MGGopher]

Good Lord. Happy about Lindenberg, obviously, but it’s devastating to be down all those other guys. Wonder how Wisconsin injury situation is looking. They had a bunch of questionable guys after last week.

 

[stocker08]

Des was the only panelist who picked us to beat Iowa.

 

[stocker08]

Damn.....no Darius Taylor OR Zach Evans? That hurts.

 

[forever a gopher]

WTF is up with Taylor? One has to imagine that whatever he has that has kept him out this long would have been know when he got injured, but crickets from PJ. God forbid he divulges anything.

Pretty clear it is hamstring issues. He definitely injured it the first time he went out, tweaked it after he came back. Those can linger and be tough to get over during a season.

Entirely possible it could be something else as well but most likely it is Hamstring related. Evans seems to be ankle or something along those lines.

 

[Jack jones]

Taylor is leaving anyway. Just gives someone else a chance to show his abilites.

 

[Gopherchase]

That’s good 45 is our MVP if he played the whole year.

Before it was clear that Taylor and Evans are both out at RB? We are a run first, run second, often run third team. And we have one available RB, #4 (formerly #5) on the depth chart. Interesting ho see how we play it, Go Gophers!

 

[MonikerSchmoniker45]

Athan gonna get it done today.

 

[A_Slab_of_Bacon]

Lower level of the student section is already full on the upper is filling.

Pretty impressive for Thanksgiving weekend and a lot of kids are gone.

We have a hell of a time keeping running backs healthy. I obviously don’t pay as much attention to other teams, but we have to be about leading the pack in running back injuries P5 in recent years.

 

[GopherPharmaBiz]

Let’s go Gophs! The sting of this bullsh*t season would be significantly reduced with a W here

 

[Great Plains Gopher]

Damn.....no Darius Taylor OR Zach Evans? That hurts.

Really hurts. Why so many injuries to running backs year after year, with top three or even top four unable to play at times?

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

So. No Marquise Williams today, Transfer out?

 

[Yah-E]

Here we go!

Don’t irritate me!

 

[BTChamp]

I'm somewhat hopeful the constant commercials that good games get don't happen in this game, but I doubt it.

 

[TwistingMyMelon]

Well, they've only reported who it out, not who is available. It's possible Fleck could decide to play Marquese Williams. Playing him wouldn't spoil his redshirt at this point.
