It's really too bad there's not a good play on words for Minneapolis like Chiberia is for Chicago. Because I've experienced both today. There was probably a reason — I'd put my money on it being obscenely cold — that my flight to Minneapolis from Midway was only a third full.
But the good news is that I (as in your regular LIVE! helmsman Scott Richey) made it to the frozen north with plenty of time to spare before tonight's game between Illinois and Minnesota. Easy to do when it's an 8 p.m. tip. So if the Big Ten cameras ever pan toward the media seating up high in historic Williams Arena, I'll be the guy in the sweater thinking warm thoughts.
