Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
It rules when traditionally crap teams suddenly play all awesome, and there have been plenty of them this college-football season. Along with Temple and Idaho, habitual stink-up-the-joint clubs like the Iowa State Cyclones are going bowling, which is a super oddity. That sure means they’ll be super into playing the Minnesota Golden Gophers during the Insight Bowl on Thursday, December 31. As far as the Gophers, who will be making a repeat visit to the game, they christened its new luxurious digs in Minneapolis with a bummer-ish 6-6 season. That probably means that they, too, will be hungry for a win.
