***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS VIRGINIA TECH DUKE'S MAYO BOWL IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

That sideline guy was really a PJ doppelgänger.

Maybe he was the one who was standing in for PJ during his eye removal surgery.

Mayo sure took a beating via commentators on the broadcast.

Nothing better than when the guy almost puked eating the ice cream bar dipped in mayo...

I know the mayo thing is really gimmicky but this is probably the most Gophers coverage I've seen on SportsCenter in a while.

I'm not sure if the 5th grade lunchroom "I'll give you $10 if you eat that thing" gross-out with the product is good marketing

maybe maybe not. I’m definitely more interested to try it.

Well that's kind of the tradeoff for the Big 10 taking the Billions of dollars from Fox, NBC & CBS instead of Disney/ABC-ESPN.

More people I know do not have ESPN anymore. They’ve cut the cord and don’t want to pay for it. I searched to see if it’s a larger trend and found an article from a year ago that reported ESPN had lost almost 4 million subscribers, and MLB 11 million.

If this trend continues, I think it’s smart for the B1G to have the free broadcast networks as their largest partners.

My mom had this album and I used to listed to it a lot as a young kid. Good stuff although I liked Going Places a bit more.

Still including the Bowl more than half of the Gopher games this season required some sort of pay subscription. 7 total were on either Peacock, FS1, BTN or ESPN.

Sure, replacing ABC with CBS & NBC (while maintaining Fox) means an extra game or 2 is on Free Network TV.

Replacing ESPN with Peacock means a game or 2 will be streaming only.

I'm not saying it's better or worse. It's just the way it is.
