Politics, campaigns, psychology, sportsball, root beer floats. The Great State of Minnesota. The Lynx were robbed. I'll try and do less stream of consciousness here, but no promises.
I don’t think Michigan State should be allowed to continue with athletics generally cuz y’know… Google it… so I’m not super surprised their football program really keeps pushing that amorality.

I seriously have no idea why you’d hire Pat Fitzgerald. He wasn’t a playcaller or strategic mind, his whole schtick was selling Northwestern Culture because he played there, and then it turns out that culture featured a brutal atmosphere of sexual hazing

No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

Gophers were Jumping Around after winning the Axe!
Minnesota's win over Wisconsin means the Gophers retake the series edge, 64–63–8 (.504) after losing it in 2017.
Tight series!

Wisconsin is trying so hard to hand us this game and we simply refuse to give in to temptation. Oh you want us to have the ball on your 10 yard line? Can’t fool me into points that easy, friend.

He can’t have moved his feet backwards just before this and *not* been out of bounds. There is no inbounds space left!

We are celebrating 9 years of marriage tonight, and so far this is looking like a great recreation of the 2016 game where I got to watch the Gophers throw 4 picks and tank the lead in the ~20 mins we hung out for a beer after the ceremony.

It’s super weird that you’d watch Gophers film and *not* play the QB that can throw. Cuz… we don’t cover anything. Anything at all.

They should switch to giving points for first downs in this Badgers Gophers game. Might get someone to break 10 then

It would be truly beautiful if Wisconsin just imploded one for the Gophers, but so far this is as ugly of a game as I was hoping for bwahahah. Snapping the ball into dudes in motion, air mailing 5 yard passes. We have it all!!
