Here's the game thread. I am trying to accomplish a few things around the house, so I'll put it here now. 

Let's turn them into "greasy grimy Gopher guts", folks, as Carl Spackler would say.

The fact it's 7:20 and this game is likely to end well past 11 is beyond annoying to me.  I am fine with leagues paid and that money going to the teams but there's no reason a Big 10 game featuring a team in EST and CST should be kicking off this late in the day.

Also, it's hilarious that the TV broadcast basically has to run "hey remember when Minnesota was bad and they upset UM overly 30 years ago?" as a sweetener to get people to care about this game.

I totally missed this game but Iowa beat Purdue 20-14 and the Hawkeye QB went 6/21 for 110 yards and 1 TD/1 INT.  Erick All had 97 of those 110 yards.  I honestly am amazed that Ferentz is going to get this team to 10 wins in all likelihood while averaging under 20 points per game.
