A Little Mapping with ggplot2

I put together a little map of the Golden Gophers 2011 football season using the mapping functionality in ggplot2. I once again did the postprocessing in Inkscape since inserting images in R is not a super-awesome process. Maybe once I get Phrank (my computer) back I can update imageMagick and get the EBimage package working.

Some things that I want to do yet: First, I want a better color palette for the wins and losses. I also thought about sizing the arcs by point differential, but maybe I should wait a year or two given the losses we have had in past years. Eventually I want to make the map interactive so you can choose a team and then see this type of map for every year.
