per Megan:
As the Gophers head south Thursday for the Outback Bowl, they will embark on a balancing act to end the 2019 football season — mixing business with pleasure.
On Jan. 1, the Gophers, ranked 16th in the Associated Press poll, will face No. 9 Auburn. A victory could catapult the Gophers into at least a top-15 ranking heading into preparations for 2020. But in the six days leading up to that showdown in Tampa, Fla., vacation vibes will abound. A bowling night, a Busch Gardens outing, an NHL game, a beach day. Plus just generally basking in 75-degree sunshine while Minnesota remains chilly and overcast.
“I think everybody’s kind of looking forward to it, with people starting to see snow on the ground now,” said receiver Rashod Bateman, a Georgia native.

The buildup before taking on Auburn will include a strong vacation vibe, too.
