The video above is the highlights of the Rodeo Bowl competition yesterday between Syracuse and Minnesota. The Gophers lost 6-1 and Troy Nunes has an in depth recap if you are so inclined. To be honest though, all you really need to see is this:
It is my duty to unhappily inform you that Tommy DID NOT win the dancing portion of the competition. I suspect some for of foul play was involved and I urge Coach Kill to demand a recount in the voting. Epic hose job aside, Tommy is such a dancing machine that his performance had the official Gopher Football account asking an important question:
Best dancer on team? RT @GoAUpher: Xmas Eve present: Tommy Olson's fantastic dance sequence from the Rodeo Bowl. http://t.co/EuPBFe9eBF"

I'm sure some of his teammates might have something to say about this, but I can guarantee he's a better dancer than I am. As the Rodeo Bowl preview shows, Tommy was ready for the moment and I think he represented the Gophers well. Hats off to Tommy!
