Turn It Over
I hope your heart’s not too broken today. It’s only a game, right? But, oh it's only THE game, the one we most want to win every single season. The game that eludes us every year. This one’s a tough one to let go, especially...
Keep Hustling
In the leadup to the Minnesota game, we discussed last season’s sixth game: the infamous nine overtime disaster against Illinois. I mentioned that game two weeks ago following the sloppy win against Northwestern. As game seven loomed large, I again wondered as I wrote last week...
