Turkey Legs to Go is FanHouse's complete travel guide for all of the 2008-2009 college bowl games. Here, we cover the Insight Bowl (Tempe, Arizona), which pits Kansas against Minnesota.Overview / Matchup: The Golden Gophers were a tremendous surprise to everyone this year, finishing 7-5. Unfortunately, it was an early season surprise that was the better part, as the Gophs coughed up their last four games of the year, including a season ending 55-0 skunkfest at the hands of Iowa. On the bright side, an easy schedule and a ridiculously weak Big 10 has them bowling. Although they do have to face off against Mark Mangino and the Jayhawks, and that's enough to scare anyone.

Located about 4 miles from the stadium and half a mile from the area's premier shopping mall, you'll find plenty to do in and around the Grand Resort (excellent on-site dining at competitive prices). Although it's usually marketed towards business travelers, the Hilton Phoenix Airport is just three miles from the stadium and has round-the-clock room service.

The Fairfield Inn by Marriott is near the Hilton, but offers cheaper rooms (less than US$100 per night) and basic amenities like cable TV and daily maid-service.
