I was browsing the web at lunch to see how the other half (in this case, Minnesota) was living this week, and I came across this gem:

The Daily Gopher author (and realist) Blake Ruane candidly admits the Gophers have almost no chance of rowing the boat vs. the Buckeyes, so he uses the column to discuss horror movies instead.

It's an entertaining read, and I give him points for both his creativity and his candor.
