I honestly think this will be the easier win for ISU than any of the other matchups possible for ISU's bowl games.
I agree. Hearing the people here in MPLS there are usually two reactions to the Gophers going to the Insight.com bowl.
1. They gripe and complain about 'only' going to the Insight.com bowl instead of the Alamo bowl.
2. They say that their team is terrible and don't deserve to go to any bowl game.
I predict a low Minnesota turnout for the game, so fill up the stands and make the Insight another southern branch of the Trice.
Also, the low morale of the Minnesota team makes me think that they're ripe for being sent home without a win and with a new coach in their not too distant future.
These people (Gopher fans) think a lot of themselves. Kind of like Notre Dame, but without the history.
