About

There is an area of Minnesota where there's a bunch of cornfields (Buffalo Lake), I grew up right in the middle of it and I loved it. Currently I attend the University of Minnesota in beautiful Minneapolis. If I lived in a fictional town it would be the lovely Garage Logic, where sometimes I forget it's not real.

If you want I'll give you my opinions on the teams I love: Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Timberwolves, Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Golden Gopher Basketball, and Minnesota Golden Gopher Football.

Do you tweet? I do! Follow me and be prepared for sports commentary, random country music lyrics, admiration for Springsteen and the Beatles, analysis of late night talk shows, and horrible jokes. My handle is: @CollinKottke

    Hey Collin, two things to talk about today. First, how was the spring football game yesterday? Im from ND and BTN isn't playing it until the 27th. Second, is Pitino trying to get another recruit this season besides Tarik Black? Would he want more than 2 recruits? What's the chance of Black signing with Minnesota? If he covets playing then The "Barn" is his place isn't it?
