Who knows how it'll shake up next year, but just because somebody at ESPN wrote an article on the Big Ten doesn't mean squat.  Nobody in their right mind (even Badger fans) would've bet that the Gophers would've only had 1 win and finished dead last....nor would people have slated Illinois for the Rose Bowl after their last year....

My "bold" prediction....the Gophers will win more games than last year....their recruiting class alone could win more games than last year.

Spring practice doesn't start until the END of March.  No one has seen any of the recruits in uniform...why the heck does ESPN even bother with predictions?

To illustrate how much credence you should place in pre-season predictions here is one from ESPN posted on August 31, 2007.

5. Minnesota will be better than Michigan State
Minnesota coach Tim Brewster inherited a better team than new Spartans coach Mark Dantonio. The Gophers will go bowling in 2007; both teams will play in the postseason in 2008.

Didn't quite happen like they thought it would in 2007, did it? 

So take it easy Cheesy...just by reading the opinion of one blow hard writer who gets paid to speculate don't get all hot n' bothered thinking about how bad the Gophers are going to be.
