I thank you for your kind words on my "Kirk Herbstreit wears jorts" contribution (my Twitter handle is @KurtASees if you want verification). My son and I try to spot the "Jorts" references whenever we watch Game Day and I thought no Gopher list was complete without one.
I also have a list of other contributions I didn't submit, but have them prepared should Oklahoma State want to get into a friendly war of words in the pursuit of College Game Day. Here are five to get started, should they be needed:
Reasons for College Game Day to come to Minnesota…instead of Oklahoma State.
* Mike Gundy listens to Nickelback. Art Briles does, too, but denies it publicly.
* Minnesota is the headquarters for DQ, General Mills, 3M & B-Dubs…you’re welcome! Oklahoma...ummm… Hobby Lobby?
* Our bowl history may not be as spectacular, but remember Oklahoma State helped lose the biggest one…the Dust Bowl!
* Even Oklahoma’s most famous resident, Kevin Durant, has to come to Minnesota to find love.
* Yes, we realize Barry Sanders is a former Cowboy, but we’ll counter with one Bronko Nagurski and call it a push!
There are potential for many others (Eric Decker-v-Dez Bryant, Arrowhead-v-Panhandle, etc.), and I'll leave it up to the creative genius of other Gopherholers to add to this list, if they so choose.
