It seems this was the weekend for Minnesota teams to get all Wizard of Oz on the world as the Gophers played the Golden Bears, the Twins played the Detroit Tigers, and the Vikings played the Detroit Lions.

I owe the connection and headline entirely to this tweet by FreshMn and @amycrea.

As you know the results shake out like this, Twins still behind, Favre hurt his fingernail, and the Gophers had a tough opponent that took it to them.

As you may not know there is a rift in the Mn sports community as to what the Gopher’s new TCF Stadium should be called; the two main nicknames seem to be “The Bank” and “The Vault”.

Here’s how I see it, if the team is going to metaphorically match the nickname as “The Bank” they would need to go big on Offense and as “The Vault” the would want to be stingy on Defense.

It seems the Football Captains want to name it Awesome

What do you think?
