Found one from the group behind us. Thanks.

My daughter (U of M and Marching Band Alumni) will be in town this weekend and would like to come to the game. Before I shell out the money for a ticket through the usual outlets, I thought I would ping the good folks here at GopherHole to see it anybody had an extra ticket that is going unused...

I think last year they were picked 18th. Baby steps. Let's go!!

Not totally true. We are in Lot 86 on the West Bank by the law school. We take up way more spaces than we technically have in our group. The lot is probably still less than half full for an average game. Other perks are a beautiful walk through campus before and after the game (light rail is...

For including Wisconsin in this week's video. :LOL:

Maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but when was the last time you saw any kind of significant advertising for Gopher Football? I remember back in the 80's and 90's there were commercials on TV in the late summer for the upcoming season. Some of them were pretty good, too. There seems...

We have a group going and our hotel is downtown just south of the river. But I would have taken anything in the Miracle Mile or Chicago Loop area. Our plan is to arrive on Friday early afternoon and park the cars (for a ridiculous amount of money, I'm sure) and use public transportation for the...

I guess I'm not loyal enough to qualify. My football tickets which I've had for almost 20 years are in a non-donation section (I still struggle to understand out why it's called a donation). So I would have to donate $100+ to qualify for even the smallest reward. Oh well. No big deal with all...

I have to confess. We left that game when it hit 31-9 in the third quarter. It was cold, rainy and I turned to my friend and said one of two things was going to happen: 1. The Gophers would go on to win easily. We won't miss anything by leaving. 2. They would blow the lead. I don't want to sit...

Currently planning on a trip to Wrigley.

I suspect that unlike me (and probably you by this comment), these guys are 100% defined by their jobs. Like a twist on the old saying: These guys live to work. They don't work to live. I don't get it either. But I'm like the majority of people. I work to pay the bills and live my life the way...

I generally don’t get too excited about commitments. I really start caring when they put on a Minnesota uniform. But this one feels good just because I know it pisses off a bunch of Wisconsin fans.

From the ESPN article: "The Gophers haven't been to the NCAA tournament since 2019 under Richard Pitino and haven't advanced past the first weekend of the tournament since Clem Haskins led them to a Final Four in 1997." Wait, I thought we weren't allowed to acknowledge that. Put the banner back up.

Came to the board to see if anything had been announced because I just saw a charter flight pop up on FlightRadar24 going from Minneapolis to Ft. Collins. :p

I was about to post the same thing. If all the people who blamed the team's lack of success on everything but the coach were right, there should be a line of people around the corner that can't wait to get Coach Johnson on their staff. I wish him the best, but this move was necessary. If...
