Mavstink oh Mavstink, where for art thou Mavstink?
You don't call, you don't talk trash, and you don't bring me flowers anymore. But I do have something I brought for you. It is a freshly opened can of whoop arse and a super-sized bag of McDonalds. First order of business...the Gopher-Mavrrhea series. The Gophers have returned from the WCHA abyss and have shown to be back in the game with a #1 national ranking and some strong play. Granted, we have slid to #5 and have some Friday jitters (stay out of the pubs on Thurs. lads) but nothing cures a mini-swoon like a good Manpoopo Mavstink whoopin'. Yes, there will be a whoopin' with Nicky Bjugstad sniping 26 goals, Kyle Rau garbage pailing 14 goals with 16 assists, and Ken Patterson allowing -5 goals. Disco Donny will show Troy where he can get his hair done, and Goldy Gopher will saddle up the Mavstink mascot and ride him all the way to victory lane. Sounds good to me.
As for you Mavstink, I challenge you to get out of the McDonalds Playland and into the fight. Your team is up against it this weekend and they need your support. It will be like the days of Techmo Bowl when Marion Butts and Leslie O'neal would own you. But I don't think you have it in you as you have Tebow-mania and your focus is on this weekend's Viking-Bronco tilt. I challenge you Mavstink to tell me how the Manpoopo Mavstinks will counter the Gopher gold rush this weekend.
