For the last few weeks there has been a big bandwagon rolling through the state of Minnesota, and I was caught going for the ride. The Gopher women's basketball team made the final four, and suddenly everyone is an expert. The Timberwolves are on their way to having a great season, but most can't name their starting five. But I could probably go to the local gas station and everyone would know Whalen, Schonrock, Anderson, Bolden and McCarville. Does that mean the NBA is bad? Yes, yes it does. Who wants to see nothing but dunks and no defense anyway.
But alas, the season is over for the Gophers, they lost to Connecticut tonight. Now we wait and see which bandwagon comes through the land of 10,000 lakes to get everyone talking. I know one thing, it probably won't be the Vikings in the Super Bowl.
