Go Gophers!!

If someone has to stay over at my house, I don't have a guest bedroom, but I do have a nice futon that folds into a bed. In that event, no one would ask "Why didn't you build a guest bedroom just in case I had to stay over?" But asking why heating coils weren't installed is like asking that question.

Futons suck. If you want me to stop by have a good air mattress. And make sure you have some gin.

When I stay over you better have alcohol AND a bedroom for me.

If I make people too comfortable, they might stay too long. You would not have liked my old couch one bit.

The Snow Bank don't need no stinkin' heating coils.

We need a laser heating system. That's because heating the field with laser beams would be really, really cool.

A marketing firm hired by Laser Heating Systems Inc. informs me that a laser heating system would be worth the 400 million dollar installation cost because it would attract laser enthusiast conventions worth 500 million dollars of economic impact.

Only if the laser beams are attached to sharks. Otherwise, it just wouldn't be right.

Not to endorse a store that I loathe, but we have an IKEA futon that has a pretty comfy steel spring mattress.

I think the U played the Vikes like a fiddle, afterall, once the state buckles and give the Wilfs an undeserved handout at least they will have to install heating coils at TCF for the interim.

It's OUR HOUSE! Not the Vikings.
We didn't need to spend taxpayer's $$$ on something that is not needed nor just in case the Metrodome roof fell in and the Vikings couldn't play their last home game there.
My House, My rules!

My cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done.

We do, however, have mutated sea bass. And they are ill-tempered.

We're only Minnesota, we couldn't get sharks. We can get Sea Bass though. Mutant Sea Bass.

JINX!

I honestly don't understand a word of this, but here ya go:

The modelling of the laser heating process gives insight into the laser workpiece interaction and minimizes the experimental cost. In the present study, analytical solution for the laser pulse heating process is considered and the closed form solution for the temperature rise due to time exponentially varying pulse is obtained. In the analysis, evaporation of the surface is taken into account. A Laplace transformation method was used when formulating the closed form solution for the temperature profiles. The effect of pulse parameters on the temperature profiles is examined in detail. It is found that the closed form solution derived from the present study reduces to the previously obtained analytical solution when the surface recession velocity is set to zero in the closed form solution. Moreover, the predictions of numerical simulation and closed form solution are found to be in good agreement

There's really no point to coils or lasers. If we have lasers they'll just malfunction at exactly the wrong moment and blind the punter during the Wisconsin game as he's trying to punt with 5 seconds left, up 4, causing him to get the punt blocked in the endzone.

If we have heating coils, one will overheat, causing a small crater right where the kicker plants his foot to kick the game-winning field goal against Nebraska causing him to break his ankle and shank it wide-left.

Far better to leave it well enough alone and let God do it the old fashioned way by just putting an icy spot where he needs it. This is Golden Gopher football, afterall.

Are you inviting all of GH over to sleep on your futon?

That would be frickin' awesome!

As long as we don't attach the lasers to those Asian Carp. If that happens, we're all going to die.

I was able to catch a few photos of Asian Carp with laser capabilities, and frankly, the findings were quite terrifying...
