Six wins to start the Gopher football season is great for bowl eligibility. The last time that happened was 2003 and the 7th game of the season went like this. What could have been, right? Getting to 7 wins to start the year this Saturday would not only exercise that demon but it would also be fun because it’s not something that’s happened in my lifetime. That last happened in 1960. And just for fun, the 1941 team was the last to win its first 8.
But the Gophers unbeaten streak stretches back to last season too.
