There you go. Looks good.

Who's afraid of a Hokie anyway?

That Texas player looked like he was running the wrong way on that interception.

I agree. I went with Dollar Car Rental once at CLT and had a bad experience. I guess I should have looked at their reviews before I did that.

Well, I will add one thing. You won't have any trouble finding a Bojangles in Charlotte. They are everywhere.

Ha! I've stayed there. Very nice. That's in what they call Center City or Uptown.

Here's the average temps for Charlotte on Jan. 3.

That's what we like, a bowl game that generates some fan interest. Looks like these teams have some things in common this season. Both had some close games that just slipped away (North Carolina, Michigan and Penn St. for the Gophers) and both somehow lost to Rutgers. Part of that will Rutgers...

Minnesota played Virginia once in a bowl game several years back. I was kind of ho-hum about it. I'm really looking forward to the Golden Gophers facing a real football school like Virginia Tech.

It's so hard to predict these bowl games. Who is going play for one thing? I think both teams will be interested in the game. If you know what I mean.

It's about the same with Delta. That's probably about the best you can do with major airlines directly to Charlotte. My recent trips to Charlotte have cost $300-600 and that was with booking well in advance. American Airlines has most of the flights out of Charlotte by far.

Duckworth's in Uptown is a good place for BBQ. I've been there a couple of times. And for the eligible guys, you just might meet an Uptown girl there. Duckworth's Grill & Taphouse

Good opponent with a football resume and pretty good destination. Charlotte is somewhat like Minneapolis. It has a typical downtown of any big city. It's pretty much a pro sports town too, even though their pro sports teams have really sucked lately.

That'll be tough sledding for them too. I'm happy the Gophers didn't get that matchup. Missouri, been there done that.

Does Iowa go to the Music City Bowl against an angry 'Bama team?

Penn State's path to the title game looks very doable. I'm not that impressed with Georgia this year.

Glad SMU got in.

Yes, but I'm sure the myth that this penality never gets called lives on and on with Iowa fans.

Yes, I remember that bowl. It was in Miami, not many people there. It was a fairly big step down for the previous year's trip the the Sun Bowl against Oregon. Yes, Oregon and Minnesota were pretty much at the same level 25 years ago.
