Thanksgiving Tussle with Minnesota

Thanksgiving is a time for families and friends to come together and share a meal, but this year, the holiday season is getting a little heated in Minnesota.

The state's governor, Tim Walz, has announced a new tradition for Thanksgiving: a football game between the University of Minnesota and the University of Minnesota-Duluth.

"I'm excited to announce that this year's Thanksgiving Day game will be played at the U of M's TCF Bank Stadium," Walz said in a statement. "It's a great way to bring our community together and get some exercise before we indulge in all the delicious food."

But not everyone is happy with the new tradition. The University of Minnesota's football team has been practicing for weeks, but they're still not ready for a game, according to their coach, P.J. Fleck.

"We're not even close to being ready for a game on Thanksgiving," Fleck said. "We've got a lot of work to do before we can take on the Gophers."

The University of Minnesota-Duluth, on the other hand, is feeling confident about their chances. Their team has been practicing hard and is ready to take on the Gophers.

"We're excited to take on the University of Minnesota," said the Bulldogs' coach, Matt Cederholm. "We've got a great team and we're looking forward to a fun game."

So, who will win this Thanksgiving Day game? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: it's going to be a battle for bragging rights in the state of Minnesota.
