It’s also time for Minnesota to grow the fuck up. Did you see what happened after we beat them for the 10th consecutive time on Saturday?
Give me a freaking break. For as long as I can remember, the winning team always goes around the stadium on a victory lap with the axe. And during that victory lap, there are two stops made: GOALPOST CHOPPING STOPS. This is part of the tradition. This is what the players, and especially the seniors, look forward to after winning their big rivalry game. They’re gonna take that giant axe and DESTROY both goalposts. It doesn’t matter where the game was played or who won – the fact remains that those goalposts are getting lumberjacked.
But apparently Jerry Kill and his pathetic Minnesota team had other ideas. From what I’ve gathered, Kill’s defense of his team confronting the UW players is that they were interrupting Minnesota’s alma mater. Sure. Okay. Last I checked, the team held up at midfield to let the Gophers wallow in their musical misery. Are the victors supposed to wait around for an hour while the home team slowly gets out of the way? Absolutely ridiculous. Absolutely Minnesota.
PS – Don’t want us celebrating in your grillpiece on your home field? Try winning the game once every decade.
PPS – Did you hear the Badger say ‘We'll send you a Snapchat of it!’ to the Minnesota players? That is the most perfect burn I can think of in that situation. I’d KILL to find out if that actually happened. I like to think that it did:

MATCHUP TO WATCH
Shame vs. Gluttony
Let me level with you for a second: I’m still pretty new to the TRADITIONAL Thanksgiving game. You see, for years my family traveled to the burbs in Chicago to partake in a kosher Thanksgiving. You might be asking yourself, ‘what the hell is a kosher Thanksgiving?’ In a word? TERRIBLE.
We’re talking tasteless, dry turkey. No mashed potatoes. Canned vegetables. Gravy that could easily be confused with Third World country water. But hey, it wasn’t all bad. There was always plenty of Haagen-Dazs ice cream – the little individual serving sizes with the wooden ‘spoons’. I LOVE THOSE. Well, I did love them. Because a few years ago I went up for dessert and encountered nothing but this:
Add it all up and that’s why last year, my family stayed home. We made skirt steaks and baked potatoes and bacon-fried Brussels sprouts and had enough Spotted Cow to keep us drunk and happy for DAYS. Now that I’ve tasted all that Thanksgiving can be, there’s no turning back.
I think what I’m getting at is that gluttony is going to KILLCRUSH shame this year. Pounds and pounds of food. A thousand beers. The greatest nap of all-time. Can’t wait.
PS – I dread the day I have to go to a formal Thanksgiving. Everyone, regardless of who they are and where they are, should be able to wear shorts or sweatpants on Thanksgiving. Comfort Rules Everything Around Me.
