Hmmf...whether you "own" a team in the past or not doesn't really matter. It didn't matter in 2004 at Northwestern. I don't think overall record against a team has any affect on the outcome of this game. This Minnesota team is better than Minnesota has been in a couple years, obviously. They've found a way to win against cupcakes instead of lose to them. I think any Big 10 game is a tough game. Esepcially this year. I don't see a game left on our schedule that will be a cakewalk. And that is not a knock on Ohio State. It's the fact that the bottom feeders of the Big Ten are more middle of the pack this year than in the past. Could Michigan really be the worst team in the Big Ten?
I think this is Week 1 of one of the most exciting Big Ten season in recent years. Honestly, I don't think anybody can be certain what will happen, and there are a lot of teams that could win this thing. Hopefully we can start the Big Ten 1-0...and go from there. Right now this is the biggest game on our schedule. Here's to working for a trip to the Rose Bowl!
