Jerry Kill blasts PJ Fleck

That's still no excuse. Look at it this way:

In Iowa, if Iowa and Iowa State both sell out home games on the same day (which frequently happens), 130,000 out of 3.2 million people have attended a football game on the same day.

In Minneapolis, if both the Gophers and Vikings were to sell out in the same weekend that would be 116,000 out of 3.6 million people have attended a football game over two days - which would make it logistically quite easy for the same person to attend both events - something which is impossible in the Iowa scenario.

That doesn't account for anyone in the rest of the state - just the metro area.

Your scenario is compelling but I think it just comes down to the Vikings killing Gopher football. They sucked all the football oxygen off campus.

The last time I was at TCF, they sold beer there. Is that still the case?
If it is, that's an advantage too.

That is definitely still the case.

I didn't see it unfortunately

For some reason I thought this was your thread. Ooops!

I guess I need to ask @CloneGuy8 what the tweet said.

No idea why the tweet was taken down.

I have friends and family there, and most follow both football teams and watch them on TV. But given a choice of which game to attend, I'd say 8 of 10 will choose the Vikings.

A lot of people I know roll their eyes when UM sports is brought up because the athletic dept has been such a cluster for so many years. I'm sure it's easy to ignore them too when they suck and the Vikings are winning more consistently.

Thanks. I had read that (or maybe it was a similar article from upthread). I just wondered what the tweet specifically said (wondering why he took it down, or twitter took it down). Morbid curiousity.
