Maybe they’re saving the animosity for Saturday.

With the 111th meeting between the Gophers and rival Iowa on tap Saturday at Kinnick Stadium, the lead-up to the battle for the Floyd of Rosedale trophy has been tame. No grandiose statements. No guarantees. And certainly no insults.

Just look at how the coaches of the two teams approached things on Tuesday.

“I’m really honored to be able to coach in this rivalry,” Gophers coach P.J. Fleck said. “It’s gonna be a heck of an environment at Kinnick Stadium.”

“We’re excited to have a chance to play Minnesota,” Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz said. “Minnesota’s playing well, so we’ve got to do our best to get ready for Saturday’s game.”

Not exactly the Mayweather-McGregor weigh-in.
