I'm going to be honest, I have nothing bad to say about Minnesota.
I think the Gophers are a fine and fun football team coached by a pleasant fellow who spent time at Ohio State and had nothing but kind things to say about Jim Tressel or his experience in Columbus. He's even wearing a tie during the game to pay homage to his mentor.
The fans are incredibly kind, their mascot is a fun cartoon Gopher named Goldy, their coaching staff literally eats Dilly Bars on the sideline in the snow during the game, and they're a true underdog story with a true freshman walk on quarterback and a 6-9, 400-pound tackle who's been playing competitive football less than two years.
