An Interesting Little Tid-bit from Sid (a Sid-bit?)

• "The Gophers ticket office made every effort not to sell tickets to the Iowa game to Hawkeyes fans. If the application had an Iowa address on it, they didn’t get the tickets."

When I first read this I got a pretty good laugh imagining Iowa fans trying to get a family reunion of Iwoans to the game.. then when I remembered there are some Gopher fans living in Iowa now and muffled it to a giggle.

I mean I know it's Sid saying this, but I wonder if there's any truth to it..

I wondered if this was part of releasing the extra game tickets at the last minute. It would be a lot easier for a local Gopher fan (albeit a casual one) to make last minute plans to attend than it would for an out-of-state traveler.

I applaude them if indeed did happen.

I applaude them if indeed did happen.

Haven't heard of any problems with Iowa fans getting tickets via the ticket office. Honestly, Sid's been senile for years.

Consider the source. I would love it if this was true, we'll see what the crowd looks like on Saturday.
