ESPN will be in Minnesota. Any pregame show that opts for a place other Michigan vs Ohio St should end up in a place called "Dinkytown". How appropriate for you dinky ESPN.:

For the first time ever, ESPN College GameDay is headed to Minneapolis, specifically Dinkytown.

I'm not making that up. It's really called Dinkytown.

That's your take away from his post?  If we were 10-1 Gameday would be in AA.  We're not.  They are.  We slightly underachieved this year, Minnesota the opposite.  This isn't difficult.

Why such sensitivity around here?! Seriously, step back and think without any Michigan filter...Gameday going to Minnesota is fine and they deserve it.  WE DON'T.  Everyone still realizes it's The Game, regardless.

GameDay didn't want to go to Michigan because they knew the crowd was going to be apathetic.  I mean...how good is the crowd really going to be knowing full well Michigan is about to get punched in the face by Ohio State for the 8th year in a row?

Meanwhile they've never been to Minnesota, that crowd will be great, and there's actually stakes on the line for that game.  Winner goes to the Big Ten championship.

Only thing at stake for Michigan-Ohio State is whether or not Michigan goes to a NY 6 bowl, or makes a return trip to the Outback/Circus circle of hell they've been trapped in for the last decade.

I don't care that ESPN chose the UMinn-Wisconsin game, UMinn is having a great season (for a change) and deserve some PR.  They're playing for a division championship, Michigan is not.

I also don't care that Fox is in Ann Arbor.  It's the second string show behind Gameday.  Yeah, we all know GD has lost some luster, is too long, and slobbers all over the SEC's dildo.  But you also know its the #1 college football show on TV for the 847th year in a row.  

All that aside - if you can make it to the show, boo the living fuck out of Meyer whenever he opens his lying mouth.  Drown him out in boos, and don't let it stop.

Setting even that aside - Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, I hope you have a great day with family and friends!!

What are y’all talkin bout ‘chose Minneapolis’. Espn is owned by abc.  There are new tv deals with Big Ten this year where fox has a bigger share of the rights and more rights of first refusal for the big games.  Michigan v osu was preordained to be broadcast on fox since the new deal was signed.  This wouldn’t be on game day if it was #1 vs #2.

I would say same thing if ESPN was coming to AA. The show has long since jumped shark. It is painful to watch at times so I just quit watching. I do enjoy some of the signs people bring, the best ones always pop up on social media after event so I don’t miss out. The MN/WI game is for the west division. Minnesota is a good story this year. I get why they went there. If M had one less loss ESPN would be in AA.

Only thing that really matters is M has at least one more point Saturday when game is over.

I don’t have a problem with espn going to Minnesota. That’s a huge game Saturday to see who gets to the B1G championship game. Minny deserves some recognition for a great season

Just make sure that whoever shows up boos the shit out of Meyer anytime he opens his mouth. Drown him out.

Some “overrated” chants anytime Brady Quinn starts talking wouldn’t be uncalled for either.

For the life of me I still can not understand why FOX thinks anyone in the B1G that is not from Ohio will listen to or approve of this ass hat on their campus- can yo uImagine him doing an interview with Harbaugh
