What's missing here...

Heard on Dan Barreiro's show tonight at 5 for the "Top-5 at Five" The #1 thing at 5 o'clock mentions that the 55-doughnut game between Iowa and Minnesota last November is not mentioned in the sesason results... As Michael Rand of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports here there is mention of the game in at least three other spots.  Rand goes on to talk about the rivalry between the two schools and how it's not as strong as it is between say Minnesota and Wisconsin.  I really enjoy Rand's blog and can't wait to see him next week at the Minnesota State Softball tourney where we will most likely discuss this topic, among many other.

I couldn't disagree more...Sure Iowa and Iowa State is a big rivalry but the Iowa/Minnesota game... We are talking about the battle for the Pig and it doesn't get much bigger than that!  I keep going back to 2003 when Iowa tore down the goal posts after the win against Minnesota

But maybe I'm wrong... Iowa has won 7 of the last 8 meetings in the series and maybe that's why the rivalry isn't as hot as it used to be... Maybe it's the fact that the Gopher fans are sell out and sell tickets to Iowa fans for the game, giving the Metrodome (and I'm guessing TCF Bank Stadium) the name Kinnick North.  

Anyway, for Coach Brewster in case he forgot the game, here are the highlights:

Also...one last thing when you go to Brewster's website www.play4brew.com, and click Multimedia you will see that you can't click on the highlights for the Iowa game...Must have forgotten to throw that link up.
