Minny prediction thread

'Cats 4 - Minny 2

The best offense is a good defense!

 

[rmndcat]

Starting early, I see. I'm old school and will post on Wed.

 

[beetlemania74]

Well, I posted it already on the gamblin' thread, so I'll do it again here:

NU 16 - Minn 13

 

[Hungry Jack]

Dewey defeats Truman...

 

[Williesfan]

NU 23
MN 17

 

[mikewebb68]

Rodents 14
Rodent Killers: 17

Will be as tight as last year, but believe we get the KO return for a touchdown this time. Minny's special teams is just decimated, and Myrick made a game-saving tackle on the final KO return last weel or else they would have lost in heartbreaking fashion to Ohio.

 

[Evanstonian]

I'm hoping that we see "third quarter Thorsen" for most of the game.

NU 31
UM 14

NU 31
MN 10

Northwestern D shuts down Minny's offense (Duke-lite). Jackson has a field day running the ball.

 

[DaCat]

NU 20, Minisoda 13

 

[CatsUnderStars]

Buck-toothed rodents - 17

Sabre-toothed felines - 23

 

[SmellyCat]

NU 24, Minnesota 10. As good as Minnesota's defense is, I think NU breaks through this week and gets a TD on a turnover (or a short field created by a turnover).

 

[Deeringfish]

They have injuries, we have injuries. Fair fight.

NU 21 Minny 20

Hunter 13
Hunted 12.9

 

[JoeWildcat]

NU 20, Minny 16.

Goes down to the last minute.

NU 26-Minn 23

 

[ricko654321]

NU 26-Minn 23

Clayton comes out firing first drive, we get bogged down for 3. Strong drive early 2Q puts us up 10-0 after Clayton throws a score. Then he screws up with a turnover. Minny scrapes a FG late in the half 10-3.

Minny takes first of 2H with scripted plays to tie at 10 and lots of momentum. Ugly Cats drive as Minny smothers the run. Trade punts. Then Cats D forces turnover in plus territory! We capitalize with a JJ TD 17-10. More punts. Minny long drive but held to 3. Cats bounce back with a run heavy drive and a couple key 3rd down conversions through the air. Mitchell gets the lead back to 7 by banging a short one through. Defense shuts the door with a pick. Victory formation.

NU - 24, Gofers - 23. Another classic Cardiac CATS performance.

Can you please supply more detail, Rickster?

I agree with all of this except I truly believe that Minny will miss that FG at the end of the first half and the final score is 20-10.

 

[phatcat]

10-9 Cats.

Goofers go for 2 at the end and miss...

 

[Cat In The Cradle]

Hunter 13
Hunted 12.9

Is that .9 from a Minny FGA worth 2.9, where the football, after ricocheting off both goal posts, rests exactly on top of the cross bar?

 

[ricko654321]

Can you please supply more detail, Rickster?

If I provide too much detail then part of it might end up being wrong

[stpaulcat]

Somebody's got to do it:

Gophers 17 NU 13

My showing up at the game after having predicted a loss will insure our win.

 

[DocCat2]

Gophers 20 NU 10. Minnesota's D just too strong...

 

[Cat In The Cradle]

Charlton Heston 20, Loni Anderson 17. No Cobb, home game, and our medical staff is better than theirs.

10,000 tiny lakes 13

[PHazer]

NU 23-Minny 19. Great red zone defense for both teams. Minny punter annoys us. Running game wears them down and ten 4th q pts. give Cats lead to win after trailing most of the day.

 

[GlideCat]

Minnesota defense proves difficult for our offense and we look awful. Average yards per play between 2 and 3. our defense does the same to their offense. It is 9-6 with two minutes left at which point my blood pressure spikes and I pass out on the floor. As my wife is letting the EMTs in to take me away, I miss an NU punt return for a touchdown.

NU wins 13-9.

 

[NUThump]

NU, 18-9

NU 24 - Minny Ha Ha 17

Yours may be bigger than ours, but according to your prognostication, size doesn't matter.

 

[NCGO4]

StPaulcat, you may be at a smart boy school, but let me tell you something. Size matters! My girls tell me that those that claim it doesn't...usually don't.

Girls like big lakes?

The bigger the better.

Is that .9 from a Minny FGA worth 2.9, where the football, after ricocheting off both goal posts, rests exactly on top of the cross bar?

Style point deduction of .1 for having ugly uniforms.

 

[Hungry Jack]

The winner of this pool gets an all-expense paid trip to the Mesabi iron range.

You're not next to a lake. You're the middle of nowhere.
