It was absolutely a perfect day for football, save the steady south wind. Some of the Gopher fans bagged on the marching band. Oh well, I'm not sure we should be comparing bands anyway. The tailgate was fun. Most of the Minnesota fans I spoke with felt that a Gopher victory would be an upset like that of the 1980 Olympic Hockey victory over the Russians.
The game itself was predictable. Minnesota played hard, but lacked players. Perhaps Jerry Kill will be able to remedy that if his players refrain from quitting like AJ Barker. Nebraska seemed to have extra incentive. I know Osborne's 500th game was a motivator. It may have been NU's most complete game this season. Now it's on to IOWA and Indy. Bo's prediction looks good.
