It's official...USC at GOPHERS 2010. The funny thing is, I'm not sure if I'm more excited about this game or the fact that the fun little club from out West (NDSU) will be coming back to TCF for a rematch the following year in 2011. I really hope we win 200-0 on that Saturday in 2011. You bet your a$$ I'll be there more than willing to tell all of those "faithful" NDSU fans how much they suck.
Also, the at VEGAS game was moved from 2010 to 2012 season opener...even better probably for trip planning purposes. College football week 1 in Vegas 2012?!? Yes.
How F'ing cool is it to get a home and home with USC...i love it. I don't care if it's 55-10, what a fun game to look forward to. Probably better than the home and homes we used to do with FLA ATL, TOLEDO, etc.
One other Gopher note - the Spring game is sneaking up on us...sometime in APR, with no official date announced yet. I'm in if you guys are...we'll discuss as we get closer.
My pre-season favorite for "prepostorous statement of the year 2009" is this gem from Jim Peterson during the Wolves-Suns game:
"The Suns acquired Shaq because of Al Jefferson."
Yep - they plan their transactions around a 10-12th place team from the western conference...nice call Jim.
COLLEGE HOOPS
So the Gophs proved they're not quite ready for primetime yet against PUR last night. PUR is really good, and it should be a nice fight between them and MSU for the title this year. Our offense just gets so stagnant at some points, while PUR just kept making shots and getting good looks. Their defense is incredible too - maybe a sleeper club come March.
As far as the contest goes, here's how we currently sit:
JR: 40
JG: 37
MK: 34
MR: 30
But there are 3 games left, of which 3 of us agree on all 3, but JG has a couple of odd picks. He really likes ND for 6 over UCONN and LSU for 5 over Xavier.
I have no chance of winning with only 6 possible points left. MR has 22 left, MK has 17, and JG has 15.
What do I need to win?
JR - no chance
MR - hits all 3 and he wins...if Xavier loses, he can't win
MK - UCONN and Xavier win and WIS lose
JG - ND and ILL wins = championship
There's probably more scenarios, but I can't figure them all out.
If I don't talk to you two, have a great time in Jamaica! I'll be expecting some seriously hammered texts/calls if you're able.
Done.
