Questions from a Gopher....
- Thread starter harpe141
- Start date
In the end of the day, this game will be a close, hard fought battle. Neither team will blow out the other. Sounds like Minnesota main WR will have a cast on his hand? Both teams have a few question marks coming into the game. But in the end, I think the Huskers having a solid defense and some big time weapons on offense, that will help the Huskers win a close one. Gophers will be 5-1 and Huskers will be 5-2. GBR
Where did you hear about our receiver wearing a cast? This is the first I’ve heard of it. Are you talking about Johnson? Bateman?
I agree with Herpes! This would be an unacceptable loss by the Huskers during this rebuilding process.. Frost is a better coach than Flap Hard Fleck and we will see that Saturday!
One Minnesota receiver with a cast still leaves with 2.5 better receivers if J.D. doesn't player
What does it matter? Why are you trolling? You seem to have a hard on for us people of the corn.
My honest answer is the middle of the pack in the big 10 during a rebuild. You know? One tier above Minnasota. Get lost or get a life.
Nebraska will be the toughest test they have face by far, and we aren't very good. So Im curious to see how it goes. If they can come out and beat us by 2 or 3 tds I will have a tiny bit of respect for them. Again we are nothing great, but it would at least show they can beat a winning P5 program.
This isn’t necessarily the toughest test to date for the Gophers. We were smaller favorites at Fresno. Don’t get me wrong, I think Nebraska is the best team we’ve faced so far but being at home I like our chances and I’m more confident heading into this game than I was the week of Fresno State.
Nebraska since joining the BIG: 64-45
Minnesota in same period: 52-51 (I'm probably off, didn't check this too close)
Answer: Nebraska has kinda sucked. Minnesota has REALLY sucked. No one who matters cares. Should be a fun unimportant game. I hope it snows.
One thing's for sure, if Nebraska was 5-0 we'd be getting a lot of respect. How's that working out for you guys?

The tier placement for Nebraska isn't based on our perception, but on everyone else's.
Nebraska has fired a head coach every 4 years on average for the last 15 years and is coming off back-to-back 4-8 seasons, yet they came into the season ranked #24 in the AP Poll.
Minnesota won a bowl game last season and is unranked in the AP Poll after a 5-0 start.
Regardless of where you or I place Nebraska, it's clear their tier is still different than Minnesota's.

Talk in circles much? Not the toughest test to date and then Nebraska is the best team you've faced so far. Oooook
Makes perfect sense. Nebraska is better than Fresno State but beating Fresno State on the road may be tougher than beating Nebraska at home. Gophers are a touchdown favorite this weekend. They were only 3 point favorites at Fresno.
Rashod Bateman posted on his snap story earlier today a picture of him with a splint on his hand. There was a thread on it on the 247 pay site. My heart immediately sank but one poster said he actually talked to Bateman today and Rashod said he hurt his thumb but it's not big deal, the splint is just precautionary and he will definitely play. It was a true roller coaster of emotions.
Oh yeah, he’ll definitely play. For some reason teams like Minnesota treat playing Nebraska like it’s the Super Bowl.
Let's see if you're smart enough to find the key word in your question. I'm doubtful you will.
It's simple, we have key players injured and their availability for the game are unknown.
Martinez
Spielman
Still lack a field goal kicker

What's your feelings on our judicial system recognizing people as innocent until proven guilty by a trial.
Just want to make sure that I understand this thread correctly. Minnesota fan starts a thread last season to talk trash about Nebraska, Nebraska goes on to blow out Minnesota, Minnesota fan revives thread with same intentions as last season. Hopefully we all get the same outcome on Saturday.
Don't care one way or the other. None of my business, that is between him, the courts, and Frost to figure out. He plays I support him. If he doesn't I assume that is what is best.
Minnesota didn't just barely beat Purdue like some on here said. No, it couldn't have just as easily gone the other way. It was a decisive win, and on the road. MN was up 38-17 in the 4th....before letting up a bit, combined with a flukey onside kick and last-minute score...to get the final score to 38-31.
