Washington has been to nine Rose Bowls since our last (in which we played them)."It’s a little tricky to get big recruits into Minnesota compared to communities that are totally geared towards college athletics and aren’t usually as big of a metro area."
Well told. The media and fans have many options for their attention and their dollars in Minneapolis. And the recent reputation that Minneapolis has earned makes recruiting even harder. The chance for a conference championship and high rankings is low so the best candidates gravitate toward winning programs. I think UM is doing pretty well given the handicaps.
They are located in a market very similar to ours and have won a National Title in that time.
Pittsburgh has played in nine major bowls since 1975, and won the ACC last season. They are a similar situation to the Gophers as well.
Colorado is terrible right now. But since 1975, they have played in eight major bowl games and have won a national title. They are in a market similar to the Twin Cities.
