ESPN's Rittenberg has Gophers in the Alamo

Primarily because of the MSU suspensions. Link (http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/7868/big-ten-bowl-projections-week-14-2)

Sounds like its pretty much flip a coin. My bro, who's an MSU alum, sent me this link from the Lansing journal:

I don't believe a word of what the Alamo bowl guys say. To either school. BTW, if you go to the alamo bowl website, that Fox guy has a total pornstar 'stache. From what I hear from my MSU relatives and friends, a lot of the MSU faithful are scared S-less of facing TT. Especially since one of the guys suspended was one of their starting CB's. Interesting comment in that article that MSU has more alumni closer to the Insight, but then again, so do we.

Same record
Minnesota won the head to head
MSU suspends 8 players

Coin flip
This kind of sums it up and the Alamo has passed us up in just about every way imaginable in the past decade.

While they should mean something, all those points mean little ... they care about ticket sales and TV sales ... and on Rittenberg, he is guessing like everyone else ... he ran with the BB to ND made-up rumor, which turned out to be completely fabricated ... I like his work a lot, but his insight into this (no pun intended) is no different than anyone else's.

BIG IF HERE! IF the Gophers get invited to the Alamo Bowl, I will go visit my brother who lives in San Antonio.

Go Gophers!

GI guys saying Alamo as well, saying they have been getting requests to set up radio interviews in Texas.
