per Joe:
Gophers coach Jerry Kill had the words posted inside the locker room this week, knowing how much they rile up his team.
Back in January, a writer for the Big Ten Network’s website (BTN.com), responded to a reader who asked how many years in a row Minnesota needs to beat Nebraska to earn respect?
“Yes, Minnesota has beaten Nebraska the last two seasons,” Tom Dienhart wrote. “I love what Jerry Kill is doing in the Twin Cities. But past performance has no bearing on future performance. I still think the Huskers have more talent than the Gophers — and will each season until the end of the earth.”
Kill thinks that undersells his team’s talent and has referenced the quote repeatedly. The Gophers will look to further legitimize themselves Saturday, when Nebraska visits before an expected overflow crowd at TCF Bank Stadium.
“I think they’ve got enough motivation,” Kill said of his players. “I think there have been comments that we wouldn’t have as good of players as Nebraska for eternity, something like that. So if you can’t get motivated to play, then you shouldn’t be playing the game.”
