I don't think this article is either objective or non-biased. It does,
however, stand in direct opposition to the infamous Tom Powers article
of last year. And in my objective, non-biased opinion, they both
represent about the same level of journalism.
Personally, I think it's admirable of the Gophers to recruit only in-state.
They've been very successful at this and I can understand how that makes
their fans proud. But they are able to do it because of their unique
situation which, I might add, is not shared by any other team in Div. I.
IMHO, if other teams choose not to follow their lead, Gopher fans should
accept that without complaint.
Just my $.02.
