At this point, probably not much more I can add to the conversation about last night's game. Loved the running game, though I'm very skeptical how it will stand up in Big Ten competition. We should find out in two weeks.
Appreciated the players coming over to the Gopher section after the game to greet the fans. Keanon Cooper, in particular, was telling each person "Thank you for coming out and supporting us."
The most interesting part of the day, however, was before the game, when Joel Maturi walked through the Gophers tailgating lot. The hero's welcome Joel received made it seem like V-Day. Everyone went up to shake his hand and congratulate him on the way the division alignments ended up, and regardless of how you feel about the guy - I've been critical, too - you had to be happy for him. I'm willing to give credit where credit is due, and in this case, I was happy to shake his hand.
