Winning the axe this year might have the most importance to the program in a long long long time.
By far the most important game in Fickell's tenure.
If they win and get to a bowl with the extra practices it quiets the mob for 5 minutes.
If they get trucked Fickell's seat will be hotter than a west texas parking lot in August until they actually show sustained improvement..
I will always hope for a win but right now the Gophs are the better program and as much as he is a douche canoe PJ is not idiot and I fully expect them to follow the Iowa and Nebraska game plans and expose the run defense.
