Have You No Sense of Decency Sir?

That's the question that should be asked of University of Minnesota football coach Glen Mason if he accepts a bowl bid following this fraud of a football season that has mercifully ended today with another loss at the hands of Wisconsin. That was Wisconsin's second Big 10 conference win of the entire year by the way. By virtue of the Gopher's overall 7-5 mark they are bowl eligible. Bowl deserving is an entirely different matter. Before the Big 10 season began they won four games against against teams, with the exception of noted football powerhouse Toldeo, so pathetic that even the Little Sisters of the Poor have too much self respect to schedule games against them. No team is too bad for Mason's thirst for meaningless victories though and playing these patsies prepared the Gophers so well for their Big Ten schedule that they were 3-5, dropping their last four games of the year and only managing to beat Northwestern, Ilinois, and Michigan State all of whom are having terrible years. Yes, it will be with great pride and expectation that Gopher fans can look forward to a trip to Laffeyette, Lousianna or maybe even lovely Detroit (perhaps a bid to the Eight Mile Bowl?) for their well deserved post season reward. Maybe it's time for a big raise for Coach Mason after another stellar year. Ski-u-mah baby.
