I can't wait for the old sportswriters in MN to die so they stop talking about the 1983 game.

Lol, well it's been the same schlock from the same guys for 20 years. Look, I don't mind if they rip the Gophers when they deserve it but some original content would be nice.

Sid somehow staying alive and attempting to keep working has set a bad precedent for the other old bstards like Ruesse and Barreiro to think they are still in their prime. Once he finally croaks they'll all be gone within a year.

While not a proponent of death, I do think it is amusing so my writers write off gophers successes as ancient history but want to talk about the 80s like they were yesterday. Nobody under the age of 25 was alive in the 80s.

People who were 6 years old who are the youngest who might remember 83 would be 40 now.
