Empty Trophy Case... except BOBC

[CentralGopher]

Fleck isn't on record stating winning Trophy games is important? That's news to me

Anyone can see Fleck and the team feels there are bigger things this year having turned down a bowl invite. Nobody is saying they aren't important but to make an issue of it this year is trollish.

What a depressing thread.

I hope all of you cheer up over the holidays and have a happier new year.

Maybe you can all find something good in your life.

That right there describes the irrational, forgetful, and fragile psyche of a Minnesota sports fan.

and you forgot passive-agressive in there........

I would be much more sympathetic to your cause .... if the trophy had even given a quarter-ass effort to look and feel like a real trophy.

It was a joke. Literally a joke, that then got brought to life by the internet. The name of it, for cripes sakes. It's disrespectful to actual trophies, if this one were elevated to that status.

Do you get invited to parties very often?

I hope that everyone has many things far more important in their life than sports.

There are other things in life besides sports??

It's doing fine right here at my desk.

I swapped what Wisc has for a fake years ago.

It went down a lot like this:

Was that a floppy disk? Wow you kicked their asses a long time ago. You, my friend, are a true hero. Good onya.
