Minnesota Football Honors Executive Director Sean Gothier enjoyed catching up with James and Shelly Laurinaitis at today's Ohio State-Indiana game.
Laurinaitis, a Wayzata High School alum & Ohio State standout, will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in December.
Sean also had the chance to see Edina native and 2026 Sid Hartman Media Award winner, Jenny Taft (@JennyTaft), who was the sideline reporter for today's big Indiana-Ohio State matchup.
