per Dr. Saturday:
'Insight Bowl • Iowa State vs. Minnesota (6 p.m. ET • NFL Network)
There's a better than 9 in 10 chance you have no intention of watching two 6-6 stragglers battle it out on New Year's Eve even if you have access to the NFL Network, and the one possible draw -- the exceptional talents of prolific Minnesota receiver Eric Decker -- is out after Decker's season-ending injury in October. Just remember this: Between Tim Brewster and Paul Rhoades, one of these coaches is likely to get psyched up enough to explode in a celebratory shower of exclamation points that float down as the band follows the fight song with "Auld Lang Sine." Just the prospect of that happening beats some ball dropping on a Manhattan mob, doesn't it?'
I find it entertaining/humorous when national observers poke fun at Brewster (I think I just like seeing our team talked about as part of the whole cfb world). Outside of Minny, he's just a really enthusiastic guy. Too bad the local perspective is so skewed.
