Thought this maybe positive to share....I ran a charity golf tourney yesterday in Southern South Dakota (in the heart of Iowa and Nebraska territory). First of all, though it killed me, we sent out equal invitations/requests to Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota FB departments for Auction Items. Minnesota not only was the only program to respond, but did so in one day and among the items was a handwritten letter from Coach Kill. **I made very sure to point these facts out during the auction**
During the tourney I had a chance to talk football w/ many people, most Husker and Hawkeye fans. Every single one stated how impressed they are with Gopher Football, but mostly Coach Kill. They all mentioned TCF Bank Stadium and how nice it looks. The tone on their programs was ??? and negativity. A couple even said they never thought they would see the day when Minnesota may be favored over Nebraska.
No earth shattering news here, but there has never been any respect or love given to Minnesota FB in these parts. So awesome to know we are a program more and more are talking about and respect.
