Yahoo's Pat Forde includes Gophers in his Forde Yard Dash

[BleedGopher]

per Forde:

Minnesota (20). Current record: 4-0. The schedule: hosting Illinois on Saturday; hosting Nebraska on Oct. 12; at Rutgers on Oct. 19; hosting Maryland on Oct. 26. Combined record of October opponents: 8-7. The Dash called an 8-0 Golden Gophers start in August (along with a couple other predictions that didn’t work out so well). Still, Minnesota has gotten to 4-0 the extremely hard way, needing late rallies to beat South Dakota State, Fresno State and Georgia Southern. The Boat Rowers did handle their business more authoritatively Saturday at Purdue, racing to a 38-17 lead through three quarters and then giving up a couple of late TDs. It will be tough to sweep October for a team with little margin for error, but three home games plus a trip to Rutgers is a nice setup.

It's happening, kids. Buckle up.

They're starting to notice us.

Shouldn’t this be in all caps. Forde sounds like he spent some time in the artillery.

Forde also quite emphatically predicted a Purdue victory over MN when he was on BTN last week. So yes, he did predict the 8-0 thing in August which would have been more noteworthy if he hadn't already bailed on the Gophers prior to the trip to Purdue. But hey, he seems back on board now so positive publicity is always welcome.
