Move over Minnesota, Notre Dame is here.

August 10, 2010 by  

The all but sealed deal between the Minnesota Gophers and the Texas Longhorns  is anything but at this point.  The deal was that Texas and Minnesota would play each other in 2015 and 2016.  I imagine that Minnesota had thought Christmas had come early when they thought they had this deal in the bag back in September 2009 because anyone who plays the Longhorns gets rich.  While this would have been the first time the two teams had gotten together was just a few years after the Great Depression back in 1936.  While this may come as a disappointment to Longhorn fans, I have heard rumors of the Minnesota series being replaced by playing Notre Dame in the same seasons.  We have all heard about how Notre Dame has been wanting to ramp up their schedule in order to boost rankings and viewership.  It looks like they have taken a swipe at Minnesota while trying to increase their ratings.  Good thing I am not a Gopher fan or I might be mad.  Maybe they will get their shot in the Alamo Bowl if Texas craters this season behind Garrett Gilbert.  As a Lohghorn fan, I look forward to whooping up on Notre Dame in the future.  Especially if Will Muschamp is at the helm.
