For the record, The Hlog likes Minnesota

I've had a lot of fun here recently at the expense of Minnesota Gophers football.
Coach Tim Brewster's Twitter posts amuse us greatly (though many other college coaches are closing in on him for "enthusiastic" Tweeting. We'll get to some off them in time, my pretties).
My previous post about the omission of Minnesota's 55-0 loss to Iowa last year in one (and only one) specific place in the Gophers' 2009 football media guide was golden fodder.
Trust me, Minnesotans. Had the roles been reversed and the mistake been on Iowa's part, I would have run with it. If it's funny and strange, it doesn't matter who's responsible.
And those who really think a sole omission of a score was something more than a mistake should spend their time on more important conspiracies, like NBA officiating and "American Idol" voting.
I'm definitely not promoting any silly Iowa-Minnesota border wars. Reason No. 1: We need to team up to go after Wisconsin. (Just kidding.)
Real reason No. 1: I love a state that would elect both Jesse Ventura and Al Franken to high office.
Real reason No. 2: The walleye is virtually unparalleled as a tasty fish.
Real reason No. 3: Bob Dylan.
Real reason No. 4: I may need to use the Mayo Clinic one day.
