Varmints Vanquished!

For cat despisers, one of the least attractive feline characteristics is how the animals tend to play with their prey, sometimes prolonging the death struggles of a vastly inferior animal for some time.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers hate it for certain, as the mighty Purple and White Reign allowed them a lead in today's contest until two minutes and seven seconds remained before casually kicking a go-ahead field goal and leaving them in their refrigerated wilderness with a 29-28 loss. The 'Cats even permitted Minnesota a tantalizing glimpse of a last-minute drive to win the game before linebacker Ben Johnson, knowing that care'll kill a 'Cat,  gambled and intercepted a pass to make Gopher heads hang in sorrow.

Knowing that their prowess might well upstage the Red River Hissy Fit being contested to the south, the humble Wildcats graciously consented to an 11 AM game time. Next week's consignment of Purdue to perdition, however, will occur at 6:30 PM at the High Holy Place, Ryan Field.
