Gophers vs Badgers

[Cooter]

Thurs night in Mpls! Should be a good one.

The way they've been playing, let's hope the Gophers turn it up a notch or 10 or it'll be a cakewalk for Bucky. I'll probably wind up watching Bridezillas (if the wife has the remote that is) Oh yeah, the Olympics are on too. Hope there's no figure skating that night.

As I watched Goldy lose to the wild cats yesterday, I was thinking the same thing. We'll beat Wisconsin out of spite, gain false confidence, and then tailspin through the rest of the season.

Wisconsin will beat the snot out of the Gophs inside. Minnesota is just too timid in the middle and will get knocked around.Plus all of a sudden Wisconsin has an outside game as well. It's going to be a long night for Tubby's boys.

[SkunkedAgain]

We took Michigan State to the final seconds, and that was MN without Nolen and Michigan St with their best player. My only point is that we can play well and compete, we just don't have the heart to do it on any sort of consistent level. I too doubt that we'll be Wisconsin, but it just seemed appropriate that we would work out a win and then collapse after that. We'll see

[Cooter]

I'd like to see a WI win for recruiting help - we've had lots of good players from MN over the years and its not getting easier with Tubby there.

Really, you must be listening to KFAN, you guys in MN get brainwashed by KFAN.

Just kidding, on the road in the Big Ten is always difficult.

Jump around!!! Go Badgers!!

I'll wager the avatar bet again Cooter and if I lose I'll display Bo or the squad with pride. I think a lot of Gopher fans are latching onto Bucky because they play how we wanted our squad to play. But I still say better dead than red! Go Gophers!

[Cooter]

Can do the avatar bet - if we lose I'll put up something respectful for a week.

[Cooter]

I don't know if he's starting but looks like Leuer will play tonight.

I just got home from the game. Great win for the gophers.

[Dotch]

Agreed. Hard to believe this is the same team that floundered so miserably against Michigan. Must be the haircuts.

[TR21HP]

I'll be the first to eat some crow. i honestly didn't think they had a chance against the Badgers but I was proven wrong.

By the way, what took Tubby so long to place Iverson and Sampson on the court at the same time. It is so obvious that despite the Gophers best efforts that Sampson is not a true center and his game reflects that of a 4 player at best and maybe even a 3. The haircuts were a unifying thing for one of the player's sister who has developed cancer. Hopefully this is what the team needs to get going.

One of the big reasons the goph's aren't going to the dance is "Westbrook"...good talent...not a team player, when he decides it's time for him to take over...it's all over for the team.

[mrklean]

haha im still laughing cant believe they won thats crazy

[Cooter]

Good win for the Gophers and a tough loss for the Badgers.

[SkunkedAgain]

We'll beat Wisconsin out of spite, gain false confidence, and then tailspin through the rest of the season.

I'll take full credit for my prediction... However, my prophecy won't be complete until we start the nose dive.

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then

Amen to that!!! They had been playing soft in the interior all year. Put in Iverson, move Sampson to the 4 and look what happens. They outrebounded them significantly and Badgers got almost no points in the paint.

[Cooter]

Glad they figured that out last night.

[Scott M]

Hey Cooter, sorry the Gophers picked a game to get up for and finish. If there is a conference tourney matchup I will offer another avatar bet since the teams only met once in MN this year.

[Cooter]

Here ya go - think its fitting.

[eyehead]

LOL!!! Nice.....still cant believe they won that game.
