Side note. With some leg work, ESPN Sports could do a whole show on the history of, the ups and downs of, the development of the rivalry and the Ax, and why the two states hate each other, and the states will share nothing but the Mississippi River, the St.Croix River, and Lake Superior. (And BEER!!!)

We need ESPN's help settling the argument between the two states over the proper name for the playground game Duck, Duck, Gray Duck (correct) or Duck, Duck, Goose (wrong).

We also need them to explain to the skunks that a water fountain is not a "bubbler"!!!

I bought some Kirk Herbstreet Sausage at SunMart in Moorhead, and it is delicious. Something for Kirk to consider.
 



1. two 8-2 ranked teams
2. most played series in the FBS
3. Baylor-Okie State will be on Fox sports 1 most likely(which is like channel 872)
4. LSU-Texas A&M will be on CBS most likely
5. Jerry Kill is a great story
6. Sam ponder lives here
7. Sam ponder did the interview with Clayes and Kill, that could also help in here advocating for it to be here

Corso and Herbstreet can hang out with Shaka Smart at the Vu.
 

Because Minnesota has more football National Championships than the other 4 teams being considered combined (LSU, Texas A&M, Baylor, and Oklahoma State).
 

They can quote their own ESPN Adam Rittenberg: "They're a team no one wants to play right now."

Duh...Alabama is dog meat?

Because there are so many feel-good stories on this team: Kill, Connor Cosgrove, Cedric Thompson escaping gangs and coming from the middle of nowhere, Hageman being adopted, etc.
