PiPress: Crashing Iowa's dream season strong motivation

[BleedGopher]

per Greder:

The Gophers (4-5, 1-4) enter Saturday night's game in Iowa City having already disappointed fans and analysts who expected them to contend for the West title. However, Minnesota can still become bowl eligible -- and ruin an archrival's dream season by retaining one of football's oldest rivalry trophies, Floyd of Rosedale.

"They're kind of having the perfect season," senior cornerback Briean Boddy-Calhoun said. "Being able to come in and shake that boat up a little bit, that definitely adds some motivation to the game."

Even though we all know the hogs are a fringe top 25 team. When we beat them, I'm going to act like we beat a top 5 team on the road... And it's going to be obnoxious.

They don't deserve to get Floyd. I have nightmares thinking about the kinds of unsavory acts perpetrated on him while in the hands of dodo bird nation.

I remember a game I think in the 90s. Iowa was rose bowl bound except for a little loss to lowly mn in last game of the year in the dome. It was a fantastic upset of the hogeyes

This is apparently why they had to quit using a real pig as the trophy.

Are you sure you're not thinking of 1993 Wisconsin?
