I'm going to open with a confession. This Minnesota team has driven me to avoid watching them play. It used to be I would schedule my life around 3 sports: Gopher Football, Men's Basketball, and Hockey. Men's Basketball no longer makes me change my plans. I don't have the mental energy to allow myself to watch. After a long day, I don't have the ability to burst blood vessels in my head with frustration, especially not now that I live in the stupid eastern time zone with it's 9pm tip-offs (miss you God's time zone). At this point, I just wait for the next day to read about Minnesota played, I check in via Twitter, or I keep an eye on the ESPN GameCast stats while doing something else.
