It's homecoming over that University this week and that's always fun. They have a parade, they have a huge bonfire, they have a pancake breakfast, and they have a football game. This year, in a departure from what must be 100 years of tradition, the game is being played tonight. At first, I thought it must have had something to do with television, but I found a press release that explains that it was done to ensure the Metrodome would be available for the Twins and their bandwagoning fans.
It's lame that we have to play on Thursday night. It's even lamer that the poor parade stays on Saturday morning. (Is anyone going? I'd like to go, eh.) But what's lamest of all is that the game isn't even being televised.
Oh well. I guess I'll at least be able to read the summary of the game in the Daily. Maybe when the Gophers get their new stadium they'll be able to play on Saturdays every week. Man, that'll be sweet.
Rah rah rah, sky U mah.
