I was working as a news editor at a small paper in southern Minnesota (the one with a German brewery) when they dumped Steckel and rehired Bud Grant.
We were butt-up against deadline and the composing room is screaming because page one isn't done. I told the supervisor to call the publisher to complain because AP hadn't moved the story yet and I was damned if I was going to be the only paper in Minnesota not to have this on the front, let alone in the paper.

What is up with the Minneapolis/St. Paul media? Just earlier today I saw a clip where a TV sports reporter ended an interview with a talented senior WR prospect by saying, "You gotta go to the Gophers!"

The kid must've been Michael Floyd. Committed to Notre Dame according to Shooter. Fear the Gopher...
