The Minnesota Gophers are the first opponent Purdue faces since the death of legendary Boilermakers head coach Joe Tiller last weekend. Purdue has planned a number of remembrances for Tiller at the game on Saturday. The Gophers will also honor Tiller with a cool little helmet sticker that references his famous mustache:

A ‘Stache Sticker is a cool way to go and I’m glad to see Minnesota taking a moment to honor a coach who will always be a big part of Purdue and the Big Ten’s history.
In “water is wet” news...
However, I will never stop being shocked by the ability of Minnesota fans to be complete and utter idiots.

Yes, a dude actually put his name and face to this in public on the Minnesota Football Facebook page post about the sticker. If you’re that guy, please find a different blog to read because we’re worried your idiocy will infect us via osmosis through the interwebs.
