Who ya want in Indy? Wisconsin or Iowa?

This is honestly a tough choice compared to earlier in the year. Wisconsin is vastly improved whether we want to admit it or not. I'd rather have to face Iowa slightly

Iowa. Definitely Iowa. 

Don’t want the best team. Don’t want a team looking for revenge.

Give me Iowa and that shitty offense all day every day.

After today's game, I feel pretty good about either to be honest. But then, I've been pretty deep in the BPONE for the last several years so I  might change my mind when this buzz wears off.

 

Go Blue!

I want to say Iowa for all the reasons cited above. But the BPONE part of my Wolverine lizard brain remembers all the incredibly improbable season-marring losses to the g@dd@mn Hawkeyes, typically on a field goal made or missed in the last minute of the game. I'm torn. 

But, we play like today, and it doesn't matter who we treat like a hot lump of asphalt in front of a road grader followed by a steam roller.

Iowa. I think the team understandably will have trouble with some letdown issues. Facing a new team will help with the focus. Playing a team again that we boatraced in their own home may exacerbate the risk of our slumbering into that game.

Don't look now, but Minnesota is hanging tough with Wisconsin (10-6, 1 min left in the 1st half).  Mertz is a little better, has some confidence now, but his WRs still suck.  The way Michigan just stopped OSU's pass game says it can crush Wisconsin's offense again.  I'm not worried about either team, honestly.

So long as Michigan didn't just blow their wad against OSU, it will be a comfortable win next week.  They've improved game to game, more so than UW has...

Normally I'd say Iowa for sure, but I haven't checked: did they have their one "magical hitting-on-all-cylinders Iowa game" yet this year? If so, then 100% Iowa.

That Wisconsin defense is scary, but Minnesota seems to be hanging around.

Iowa is more interesting to play, since Michigan didn't play them yet.

They probably aren't as good as Wisconsin.

They probably aren't as likely to injure our players as Wisconsin.

Always nice to try for some payback for 2016 and 1985.
