Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I should have started these at the beginning of the year but didnt think about it till i started the Wisconsin thread, which turned into a game day thread. It's a little early in the week but was looking at the schedule and was excited about some big games. 1 LSU - 2 Alabama 5 Penn St - 13 Minnesota 18 Iowa - 16 Wisconsin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friend in maize M cap is putting gas in for the long ride home, two Buckeyes fans come up and start razzing about the game, to which he replies "enjoy the Alamo Bowl", as Michigan was off to the Rose Bowl they slunked away ---------------- this Minnesota game is huge for implications all around the Big Ten..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 i saw a quick feature on the Gopher's QB, but not holding my breath usually a joke opponent except for that time when they had Maroney and Barber in town at the same time, stole one at Ann Arbor (again not unexpected) too bad Wisky isn't at Iowa, that would have made it another game of huge implication...

Gordio Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Uncle Kirbs, Minnesota is very good at home. Factor in this is the biggest home game Minnesota has had in decades, maybe ever & I expect this game to play out kind of like the Iowa/PSU game did. Low scoring, I think Penn St will win but I think it will be a one possession game. That LSU game I don't know, it seems like everybody is on LSU. They are coming into Saban's house, a bit disrespectful to Alabama if you ask me, especially the way Saban has handed Oregeon his lunch the last few years.

row_33 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 --------------------- best sporting even involving Minnesota so far in history.... i recall Dave Winfield was on the bench for UM, and Halberstam wrote that he was brawling mightily here , but since we now have youtube and film is readily available, nobody has been able to substantiate Dave out there at all.... nice fable though...

This is the first year in a while where I think LSU is definitely the best team. There were a lot of times that people thought they were on par with Alabama but there was always a gap. I’ll make a bold prediction today that LSU wins by 2 scores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying they aren’t a strength of the team like they’ve been in the past. Usually you see their D up in the top 5, it’s not in the top 20. Their offense makes up for it though. Just not sure if they can contain bama offense, that’s why i predict a shootout Edited November 9, 2019 by YoloinOhio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They, without question, have the best wins in the country. Obviously Bama is the next step but this is a different LSU team and a different Bama team. Neither defense is very good. I just think LSU’s offense (especially with a banged up Tua) is better. Joe Brady is the single biggest difference and it is a MASSIVE difference. I’m saying 45 -31 LSU.

They were a different team in late August than they are now. The rankings are based on the talent on the roster. Obviously losing 6 defensive starters makes them, or any team, different. Look, I’m not an LSU fan. I just follow it all closely and can say, with confidence that they are COMPLETELY different than past teams. The past teams had the skill players and Les Miles offense. Now they have the skill players, the Heisman favorite at QB and Sean Payton’s offense. It’s night and day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
