So forgive the downtrodden for drawing your attention to a sudden bright spot on a barren sports landscape: Yesterday our hapless, losing Gophers, with their venerable yet vulnerable new head coach, won a big one.
Please understand, good people of Iowa who read this blog from time to time, that when we announce that Stan's Alma Mater beat the Hawkeyes by one point, 22-21, we're not gloating and we report it with great humility. Allow us this rare moment of joy, and thank you kindly for your grace and understanding.
But then again, really, Iowa? You got beat by Minnesota???? Really?
