Sadly I am a Gophers fan too, but I admire the quality of the Sioux (and their many Minnesota players). I think the comment I was responding to was in the summary of the various leagues performances so far. I thought that not too much could be read into the ND loss to the Irish. If this season (especially following last year's performance) doesn't cook Woog's goose nothing will.
