My MN sports craziness may have reached an all time high.  I made the 1.5 hour commute to campus and paid $20 for parking (on West Bank!!!) to NOT have plans to go to the Vikings game.  I had my final MBA class of the semester and we had a presentation we needed to make.  I wore running tights under my jeans and brought spare Gopher gear just in the off chance that I could make it over to the Eastern Bank.  I got to campus and the excitement was too much to bear.  I went to class and asked my professor if our group could present first….his response: “as long as you don’t leave early”.  Of course not….and Brett Favre is not starting tonight.  So…marathon presentation, quick change into Gopher gear, skipped the last half of class (duh), and hopped on the bus to arrive at the stadium just in time to hear the roar of the crowd w/ the Percy Harvin touchdown.  I made the trek to Stub’s to meet friends, decided to go to the game just before halftime (I am 32, have a student ID and it is free!!), ventured over to the stadium as the freezing rain was beginning to come down, took a picture outside of the stadium (after deciding it was too cold and alcohol free to go inside), ventured back to Sally’s, convinced 4 people to NOT drop their Gopher football season tickets for next year (I think they said yes just to hear me STOP justifying why the needed to keep them), and then walked 2 miles to my car in the snow.  All of this to say that I was NEAR the stadium for Monday Night Football.  Ridiculous, but totally worth it (unless I do not get the required for reimbursement B- in the class that I just skipped).
