First off, I would like to apologize for not posting after the Northwestern and Wisconsin games. I was sick the weekend of the jNW game and I was in Las Vegas the weekend of the Wisconsin game. I suppose I could have posted after the Wisconsin game but, well, Vegas baby, yeah!
Secondly, this won’t be a very long post as I had no intention of watching the game. I don’t know why, maybe it was my own little boycott, maybe it was from football just not feeling all that important right now with everything that has taken place the past few weeks, or maybe I didn’t want to watch the Gophers get rolled by the high-octane Washington State offense. But, I ended up at a bar with some family I haven’t seen in awhile. We had some drinks, shared some laughs and watched bits and pieces of the game in the background. It was a great night! Then the strangest thing happened, the Gophers completely bamboozled said high-octane Washington State offense and won. Can’t lie, never saw that one coming. What a strange few weeks it’s been for the Gophers.
Anyway, onto what really matters, this weeks Stroll Through Twitterland.

Well, Celestin has been a hit machine this season, so why not hit a ref as well. Before you call and complain, no I do not condone hitting referee’s, well until they make a bad call against my team, then hit away (I kid, I kid).

It wouldn’t be a Gopher game without a targeting call...
Just had to fit in a targeting penalty didn't we #Lolphers #MINNvsWSU #Gophers #HolidayBowl

Come again? I didn’t hear you correctly the first time. I thought I heard you say at least WSU will win their bowl game.
Wsu fans: at least we'll win our bowl game. UW will get stomped.

UW fans: lol#HolidayBowl
Just in case you missed it @bigcat_37 this is how the game actually played out.

I laughed.
All this talk about the Gophers, and it was Wazzu's offense that boycotted the #HolidayBowl... Minnesota wins, 17-12.

Who says you can’t win with only one down-lineman?
This sums up how crazy, entertaining, and awesome @JaySawvel's defense played tonight. #Gophers #SkiUMah pic.twitter.com/qZ9626WDlC
