Wait, I thought Fitzgerald said them winning the West would become normal or something to that effect after last year?
Iowa, Minn, or Wis?

I'm more excited to hear if there is any illicit bathroom sex during the game. I couldn't(note the correct usage) care less who wins as long as someone scores.
If Iowa wins both, they should be in the drivers seat. Iowa's defense was already in the top 5 in the NCAA's, and now that they have a healthy backfield, they can run the 4-2-5, which was effective for them last year.
Totally **** offense though.
Wisconsin players said they didn't like the trolling OSU did by playing jump around and look forward to a rematch. I think OSU would drop more than 59 points on a fast indoor surface instead of a rainstorm like yesterday. However, I think Gophers will win the West by beating Wisconsin with only a loss to PSU.
actually what’s worse is you giving crap about Scott Frost when he’s only in the middle of year 2. So naturally yep, he’s not going to have many HUGE wins when he’s only been here 1 and half years.
Guess what genius, Kirk Ferentz and your pathetic Iowa team went 1-10 in his year one of his rebuild and then went 3-8 in year 2 of his rebuild. That’s a whopping 4-18 in 2 full seasons. Scott Frost is already a head of Iowa and Kirk Ferentz when comparing apples to apples. One rebuild can another rebuild.
So genius, who was the teams Iowa and Ferentz beat during that elite run (lmfao) in Ferentz first 2 years? You’d think an Iowa fan would be more considerate of Head Coach during a rebuild and how it goes the first few years considering how Kirk Ferentz and Iowa done during their rebuild. So, before you run your mouth, consider how your very own team and Head Coach did during their rebuilding years. Good grief...
And the west will be either Minnesota’s or Wisconsin’s. Iowa stands no chance. They have a solid defense but a joke for an offense. Not the same for the Vadgers and Gophers.
You win games in November with defense, not offense... more times than not. That's what Frost needs to learn. November could be a even bigger struggle for the Huskers.
I could be way wrong but I think MN has been bless with a very very weak scedual to this point. I will admit it is not an easy thing to win 8 games no matter the level of opponents you face. Their SOS is 75th. That puts them with team like Fl Atlantic, Middle Tennessee, Miami (OH). That is not the best of company. The next 3 of 4 are tough Penn St, @Iowa, Wisc. I think they lose all 3. To end with a 6-3 record. That very well could still be good enough to win the division. Although Im going with Wisc.
You're Nebraska, you're HORRIBLE. You might not win another game this year and won't even get to a bowl game.
Go back to the Big 12 with your defenseless brothers. No one cares about what you did in the 90's in the B1G.
If Iowa wins in Madison and Minnesota loses to PSU, I think the Hawkeyes carry that momentum into the Nov. 16 game against Minnesota, the Nov. 23 against Illinois and the finale against us, though they won't need much momentum if we lie down as we did the last three games against Iowa.
So, yeah, it comes down to that Iowa-Wisconsin game on Nov. 9. Iowa wins, then the division showdown is here in Iowa City. Wisconsin wins, and it's Nov. 30 in Minneapolis against Wisconsin.

Didn’t realize Nebraska only had one good decade in its historic program. Remember, your two best coaches ever are 5-5 vs NU which is KF and your god Hayden Fry dropped Nebraska off their schedule due to the beatings the Huskers gave you.
1970s 98-20-4 Final ranking in AP top 10 every year except 1977 (12th)
1980s 103-20 Final ranking in AP top 11 every year.
lol. Frick those punks. Their fans are even worse. WI is a program that thinks they are hot **** because they beat up on crap teams but when they face elite teams they get skull f'd on the regular. When a big time team throws the crap WI puts out back in their face they have always curled over craying like a bunch of babies.
Before the IL game their starting MLB was calling their defense the Goose Ege D and wanted that to become a thing on twitter and the media. Then 3 days later IL beat their *** and they cried like babies when IL played Jump Around after the game and they bitched and moaned about Ohio State throwing Jump Around in their face during the 4th quarter this past Saturday.
When Barry retires from WI's AD job I predict that program fades away and they lose their identity overtime. Barry still runs that football program and will until the day he is no longer there.
But wasn’t it Scooter who said get your wins against us in year 1 because you won’t in year 2? He totally underestimated how hard it is to win week in and out in the B1G and looks foolish for running his mouth.
Northwestern played Wisconsin hard in Madison, then the Badgers headed to Illinois.
Nebraska beat Illinois, then Northwestern.
2-0 Nebraska
1-1 Wisconsin
Minnesota is 5-0
Iowa is 3-2
Margin of error favors Golden Gophers for now.
We shall see what plays out soon enough in November.
Should be a good B1G West race.

Minnesota this year strikes me as being very similar to the Husker team that started 7-0 in 2016 and then the wheels came off after the close Wisky loss and losing Armstrong.
I could see them maybe playing PSU close and then fading down the stretch after their boat springs a leak.

Wisconsin has won the Iowa series all but once, since 2010, when Bret Bielema came into Kinnick Stadium and pulled out a 31-30 win, spurred by a fake punt.
Other than 2015, Wisconsin has owned Iowa's number. One interesting stat, since UW may be trending for another 10-3 campaign. When finishes 10-3, UW has lost 3 straight to Iowa.
Minnesota may control their own destiny, but PSU's James Franklin has won lately against B1G West teams owning an 11 game win streak.
The 5-0 mark is a nice 2 game lead on Iowa and Wisconsin. But, do they get the marquee win over Penn State?
Obviously, either Iowa or Wisconsin will be 2 games back after the November 9th game.
Bye weeks in Big Ten:

Iowa will get three five peats this year. Iowa State, Minnesota and Nebraska but won't win the West.
honestly, same as it ever was. Last year the exception...Wisky and Iowa have mathematically in it until the final 2 weeks for much of the B1G west era.
Barry is revered around here b/c he’s an alum. He was 65-60-3 as coach in conf. His hires as an AD have been improvements from his coaching
Hopefully MN nice fans they deserve it, based on integrity.
Wisky fans suck. Iowa entire Program is garbage
And we would welcome you with open arms! The picture appears to be from the Stadium opener vs Air Force! It was so loud many of us had no Idea that there was a flyover! Unfortunately we haven't had such crowds this season. My hope is these last two home games will be as full and 'electric'.I would fly non-stop out of Ft. Lauderdale to see this game...Go Gophers
I have no Idea right now if we will win the West, but if we do? Lets just say this Gopher fanbase is beyond hungry!
