The Gophers are looking to break one streak and keep another going on Saturday.
The Gophers would become bowl eligible for the third straight season with a victory over rival Wisconsin on Saturday and would end a losing streak against the Badgers that started in 2004.
One streak seems more important to the Gophers than the other, however.

There is normally an increase in injured eagles during deer hunting season and a month or two after, she said

Coca-Ioana Vladislav was born with a visual impairment, so she relied on her hands to create a new life 5,000 miles away from her birthplace in northeastern Romania. For the past 16 years, she’s been Boynton Health Service’s massage therapist.
“As a visually [impaired person], for example, you need the senses,” she said. “This is much better because you can’t look at somebody. … It will take you longer time to get to that point to feel everything that I feel because … it’s all my life.”
