You will not know anything about how my Gophers will compete against other Big Ten/B1G teams until they start playing Big Ten/B1G teams in head to head competition. While all of you will be focused on the TCU game, it really is useful only if it is a Gopher win and can help my Gophers to win all of the cup-cake out of conference games in 2014. By itself, that TCU non-conference game really will say nothing about the strength of this team. It is only a part of the time-tested formula for becoming bowl worthy. All four of the cup-cake out of conference games MUST be won OR, it becomes totally necessary to win MORE than two conference games to be invited to the mandated bowl game. Without that bowl game invitation, the coach puts himself in jeopardy with the media and the core fan base of failing to go bowling. That is a mortal sin for a coach in the Big Ten/B1G Conference.
You will know if my Gophers are a Big Ten Conference competitive worthy team when the first CONFERENCE game has been completed on September 27th in the Big House on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. This will be the KEY game and will indicate whether my Gophers can compete in Conference play well enough to win the 3 or 4 Conference games they will need for a decent bowl game invitation. It will also be an excellent indicator of the ability of this coaching staff to take their team into the stinking badger's camp on the 29th of November and end the madness by bringing the AXE with them when they fly home to Sky-U-Mah following that fateful Conference match-up. SHOW UP for that game in Ann Arbor in 2014 Golden Gophers! That game is more important than the fan-base here at GOPHERHOLE can possibly imagine. I think that bringing the JUG back home to Minneapolis just MAY be the key to ending the madness in madtown... to giving my Golden Gophers the confidence, self-belief and mental-toughness to beat the stinking badger in the stinking badgers camp.
