In the spirit of Fleckisms, I think we call those R.A.P. and H.I.S.

Of course, if you’re going to watch the Outback Bowl, and want to see Auburn’s offense on the field, you can turn it off with about 8:30 left to play. They don’t get a sniff of the ball after that. Damn, that’s still an impressive drive!

Right after that (5:00) is the Outback Bowl vs Auburn. I have a hunch Minnesota will do well in that game, also.

Flameburger is outstanding! I went to the one on Larpenteur Ave in Falcon Heights countless times during my days at the U. Best hash(ed) browns I’ve ever eaten!

If I’m not mistaken, the Gophers-skunks series now stands at 62-62-8.
