Musings on Goldie the Gopher
Well, I was going to write something about how I really plan on generating some actual, you know, content soon, I was distracted by the start of the Ohio State vs. Minnesota football game. Before I clicked the game on, I thought that I generally don’t like watching sporting events that are played at the Metrodome. There’s just something about that dome that I don’t like. So, I put the game on anyway, only to be met by the most gosh-awful uniforms that I think I’ve ever seen. Minnesota is wearing gold jerseys and gold pants! I’ve always thought Goldie’s shade of maroon was bad enough, but their shade of gold is even worse, and as the whole uniform? Well, it challenges the atrocities that the Oregon Ducks & Nike have foisted upon the college football world!
It’s like a train-wreck — I don’t really want to watch, but I can’t turn away from the sartorial horror that I see on the field.
I hate to root for OSU, but I just have to hope that Minnesota gets punished for that uniform choice! ;^)

Hey! We won two world series in that dome, doncha know? I love that place…lots of good memories. I’m just commenting as a fairly uninformed fan, though.
