All week long the football pundits were screeching about the twisted hideousness of an Iowa-Minnesota matchup. Look at this disgusting freak football, they all said about a Peak Big Ten West game where everyone expected the teams to spit and blow their noses on the football for three downs before forcing the other team to handle it. And they were right. The 12-10 affair won by Minnesota on a controversial Illegal Punt Gestures penalty was a gruesome mess that no one but the most deranged midwesterners huffing pork intestine fumes could watch for extended periods without intense vomiting. But that was a game with actual stakes and intrigue with Iowa vying to lock down the division.
