What did Minneapolis do to deserve this?  On the same weekend, we get a
double shot of cheeseheads from the East for the basketball tournament
(Wisconsin and Marquette) at the Dome and now we get the invasion from the
west as well over at Mariucci.  It could (will?) get ugly.

Maybe the secret is that we have to pit the NoDaks against the
Cheeseheads, and stay out of the way...let nature (and grain alcohol) take
its course.  This could be the end of all our troubles, if we just  play
our cards right!  Again, I say, Citizens of Rube Nation, Unite!

Okay, this is insiding for anybody not residing in a 55xxx ZIP code.
Seriously, come to Minneapolis, the weather's great!  And we have skyways!
 And a shopping mall!  And the river isn't frozen anymore!

Ferris-NoDak won't have any ticket selling problems.  For one, they're sold
as a package, so the Minnesota fans will all buy tickets to the first game
even if they don't go.  Second, Nodaks will come down in droves.
