There’s a lot wrong with a lot of things in Wisconsin obviously but the tailgating atmosphere for opposing fans is best in class. 1) You won’t be murdered in the parking lot and 2) some friendly sausage-fingered Packer fan will probably offer you a brewski or a brat.

The first thing you learned about was hazing and how if there was any of it, you were done - and this was before it was universally condemned. John had the seniors take freshman out, treat them well, show them they’re part of something positive. That perpetuated of course.

The Gophers dominated. Faalele was unbelievable. Johnson is an NFL player and showed it in a big game. Ibrahim rips 224 and Morgan managed well. Defense stayed on keys and shut down a difficult offense for which to prepare. Rossi is legit. Pret-tay damn good.

You know all the guys in high school who thought they were so badass (you may be one of them) and they took senior pictures with their cars? I was a human middle finger to that in Stearns County and that’s just one reason I was so punchable.
