It’s because no Minnesota teams have anyone named “Juice.” And because Champaign is boring.

So Illinois can get 60,000 to a basketball practice and the state of minnesota can’t get that many to any game?

“The event could raise thousands of dollars for the Coaches vs. Cancer charity”

I would attend a “Childress vs. Cancer” charity game, just to see who has better clock management. After last night’s game, Childress’ favorable rating surpassed Cancer for the first time this season.

“In past years, some sort of joke about the Gophers defense would appear right here.”

Maybe Michael Jordan will be there to watch his kid ride the bench. He might not be allowed since MJ Sr plays football now?
