The high temp in Minneapolis is 15 on Thursday this week...
What does one do in 15 degree weather for 4 months?

Hell we don't wear the same shade of gold just get a few to wear blue and some white we will both look good. As for the M it's ok teams like UNC and uga can't read.
A big complaint in Gopherland is that our team rarely wears its actual colors any more. Coach says alumni be dammed the kids like the alternative ones. BTW...does Tech have an Anthracite uni?
My gosh that would be terrible
Yes, I am seeing WAY too much "we shouldn't be in this piddly bowl" talk from my fellow Jacket fans. We could lose this game and those bemoaning this bowl will look REALLY silly. I honestly think this is what GT deserved. We had one or two good games this year, but we lost to mediocre teams multiple times (USF, Pitt, Duke) and got man-handled in a way I haven't seen in 20 years against UGA.Well, the way the Gophers handled the Badgers , we might have our hands full - from a Tech and Badger fan.
Been varying a bit with the rotating door of HC's lately, but outside of MN we have been recruiting mostly Florida, Georgia, Ohio, and now Texas.Curious. From where do most of your players come?
I thought I had replied to this earlier, but I don't see it. We fired our DC late in the season. The run-D was supposed to be a strength, but it has really only come on as of late.So here is my question to you Mr. Gopher, it looks like you all are not very good against the run. Not a good recipe playing us. Your thoughts
Not sure how they fared the passed year or two, but the Wrestling team is generally Top 10 or even Top 5 in the country.Gophers have some great wrestlers too don’t they?
Yeah, outdoor rinks are a dime a dozen around here. I don't think there's more than a rodeo or two in the entire state though, and it's probably just passing through?Open air hockey rinks are in all the small towns on north Dakota and northern minn. I noticed these when we were doing aerial route recon. Being long time houston texas resident I thought they were local rodeo rinks. I found out that u guys just keep adding water as needed.
I just looked at your roster! U guys are getting a lot of Georgia talent!
Drink beer, play hockey (I used to play outdoors without a coat in 5 degree weather), or preferably both.The high temp in Minneapolis is 15 on Thursday this week... What does one do in 15 degree weather for 4 months?

I was hoping we'd simply say "no thanks" to any bowl invite, honestly. After several years of that gosh-awful blue turf bowl in sub 0 degress Idaho and other non-descript bowls, I am embarrassed as a GT fan that we even accept those invitations. We don't make money on them as best I can tell and not a single person outside of GT realm even know these bowls exist or are being played. It does nothing for recruiting in a positive way and if I am an HC competing for same recruits as GT, I'd remind those recruits of the crappy, what-bowl-is-that-again, that GT plays in 3 of every 4 years. Sorry, I am salty mostly due to that stupid consecutive bowl record we had that was beyond silly. We rarely played in an important bowl and some of my fellow GT fans touted it...this got lots of laughs from serious football programs, as it should have.
Minnesota update:
Top OL Greene and top LB Cashman (with Big Ten and National recognition) are declaring early and not participating in the Toilet Bowl.
On top of that, there's an on-going "disciplinary" action against 6-8 players for currently undisclosed reasons that are at least holding them out of practices, and possibly the Bowl game.
Depending on the latter, I think that will shift Tech up to an additional 3-7 points favor.
Return question: How did three conference rivals you beat, all with worse records, get placed in a higher Bowl game? No respect. I feel a "statement" game coming on, and my boys might get embarrassed. Luckily, no one will be watching.

Sucks to be you... How about support the S/A at GT ? Your a great fan... Maybe you need to find another team. There are plenty w " rec sport majors " who are going to bowls you seem " worthy".Yes, I am seeing WAY too much "we shouldn't be in this piddly bowl" talk from my fellow Jacket fans.

Great post @flea77 . I will never understand complaining about a chance the cheer on the White and Gold.Sucks to be you... How about support the S/A at GT ? Your a great fan... Maybe you need to find another team. There are plenty w " rec sport majors " who are going to bowls you seem " worthy".

And above the Belk Bowl. **** BelkDon't bet on it. Turns out this is in the top 25 of fan favorite matchups.
I apologize in advance for the ugly-mutt photo at the top of the article.

Minnesota vs. Georgia Tech
Dec. 26, 5:15 p.m. ET, ESPN
Ford Field, Detroit
There's no chance Paul Johnson doesn't do something awesome in his final game before retirement. Maybe he abandons the option and throws it 50 times. Maybe he lets a random fan call plays for the entire third quarter. Maybe he just leaves at halftime, walks across the Ambassador Bridge and takes up ice fishing in Canada full time. There's literally nothing we can write off.
PJ at his best!!!!
Exactly. Given how many games I entirely missed, due to health reasons this year, I am not about to turn up my nose at one more opportunity to see my Yellow jackets take the field.Great post @flea77 . I will never understand complaining about a chance the cheer on the White and Gold.
