This game is an LOL waiting to happen...

I suspect both teams suck, but I'll take Minnesota just because it feels like Ferentz stopped caring 4 years ago while Kill:

A.) Has a bad ass name

and

B.) Cares so much he won't retire even when medically he probably should.

Plus, Iowa fans aren't nearly as beaten down as Minnesota fans are, so the internet melt down would be more entertaining.

1935: The day before the game, Iowa Governor Clyde L. Herring told reporters, "If the officials stand for any rough tactics like Minnesota used last year, I'm sure the crowd won't."

Minnesota Governor Floyd Olson responded by sending a telegram to Iowa Governor Herring on game-day morning, which read, "Dear Clyde, Minnesota folks excited over your statement about the Iowa crowd lynching the Minnesota football team. I have assured them that you are a law-abiding gentleman and are only trying to get our goat. The Minnesota team will tackle clean, but, oh! how hard, Clyde. If you seriously think Iowa has any chance to win, I will bet you a Minnesota prize hog against an Iowa prize hog that Minnesota wins today. The loser must deliver the hog in person to the winner. Accept my bet thru a reporter. You are getting odds because Minnesota raises better hogs than Iowa. My best personal regards and condolences."

Minnesota won 13–6, and Iowa Governor Herring obtained an award-winning prize pig of Rosedale Farms. The pig was dubbed Floyd after Minnesota Governor Floyd Olson. Governor Herring collected "Floyd of Rosedale" and personally walked him into Governor Olson’s carpeted office.

The original Floyd of Rosedale with Minnesota Gov. Floyd B. Olson and Iowa Gov. Clyde Herring in 1935.

Governor Olson commissioned Saint Paul sculptor Charles Brioscho to capture Floyd's image. The result was a bronze pig trophy 53 cm (21 inches) long and 38 cm (15 inches) high. Iowa and Minnesota have played for the Floyd of Rosedale every year since then. The winner of the annual Iowa–Minnesota football game is entitled to keep the trophy until the following year's contest.

The only thing about this game that I'm sure of is Jerry Kill will have a seizure at some point during the game. Boom.... thats right bad taste.

Just kidding. Look for Minny to put an ass whipping on Iowa.

I can't find one reason as to why Minnesota has a chance tomorrow...other than the fact that they suck less than we do
