So I’m sure all of y’all know by now that Minnesota will be our bowl opponent. As we creep closer and closer to kickoff, I thought it would be nice to learn about them since I doubt many of you ever think about our most Canadian state. Is there a state out there that is more different than Georgia? I really don’t think so. At the very least, you can use some of this material as a conversation starter in Detroit.
First, a little history. Half of the territory of Minnesota became part of the US after the Revolutionary War, and the other half came as part of the later Louisiana Purchase.
