"I’m with the guys that mentioned the Children’s Hospital wave. That’s very classy. I do have to say, I’m surprised such classless fans as Iowa’s can take part in something so classy. It’s as if that’s their one good deed they’re willing to take part in 7 weeks of the year. Then they come here and disrespect our stadium and fans.
Never forget what the did to our Metrodome. The goal posts. The pissing on our concourse walls in front of everyone. I was just a little boy, and I witnessed grown drunk men pissing on the walls of the concourse as fans were leaving the dome. So much disrespect."
"The cold weather in the fall dampens the poop smell."
"They've been walking upright on their hind legs for at least a couple of generations now."
"Iowa's farmers produce much food that I like to eat. And their colleges produce many waiters and waitresses to come work in the Twin Cities to serve that food to me."
"Their cheerleaders can graze like nobody else."
"Two things always come to mind about Iowa:
1) They always play "fairly well." They almost never embarrass themselves by looking awful or overmatched. Conversely, they rarely look like dynamic world-beaters either. Most games, they seem to just kind of "hang around" and either win or lose at the end of the game.
2) They always seem tough to beat at Kinnick.
Going in to 2019, I thought they were the team to beat in the West. Now, if we take care of business against them, they'll be also-rans."
"They are out (for all intents and purposes) of the Big Ten race after a nail biter in Madison. The hangover plus the reality of a failed season could very well lead to a more lackluster effort. It’s certainly not unprecedented as I believe it was 2014 the Gophers destroyed them in Minneapolis.Very winnable game, but rivalry game so have to believe we’ll get their best despite their failures. For the Gophers an opportunity to end another mind numbing statistic and basically cement the west before we have to play Sconnie."
"Iowa tends to score about 20 or less. I would hope our defense holds them to around that again.Their defense doesn't allow a lot of points, but we score on most defenses. A tough 24-20 victory should be in the works for us if we don't turnover the ball too much."
"Unless Iowa scores 30, they are not winning this game."
"Iowa will be completely pumped to take out their highly ranked rival at home. The target is now on the Gophers back. Expect a dog fight."
"If we're as good as we hope we are, we win this game.Yes, Iowa is a very tough opponent, especially at Kinnick.
But (hopefully) we have raised our own aspirations above the level of being 'almost good enough'. We have put ourselves in position to aim much higher than that."
