Clark Kellogg on the joys of conference play

There's definitely something different, special, about January, February and early March. Heading to the Barn to see the Gophers play a conference opponent is a completely different feeling than what we pay to see (mostly) in November and December. The intensity level is racheted up several notches at most of the arenas. Kellogg does a nice job putting it into words.
