These are the types of articles that get generated at the end of August when football (college or pro) has yet to see meaningful games, baseball postseason positioning has yet to start, golf is winding down, World Cup Soccer is over, etc.

It would be soooo Gopher to play a bowl game in a baseball stadium three years in a row.

I get it that stuff like this is meaningless this time of year, but just the words “Guaranteed Rate” or “Pinstripe” trigger a little PTSD.

If they're not in Florida, I'd bet a lot of money it's Vegas or Nashville. The B1G has tried hard to stick with the terms of those 5 year bowl contracts. Gophers have drawn the very short of the stick on that the past 2 seasons, but the upside to that is no repeats.

A good recap from how it went down in 2021:

Please stop thinking bowl selection will ever be fair.

Why do people still get upset about bowl selection ignoring standings or head to head wins?
