Feel free to add your own pictures to this thread as the day permits! Everyone's contributions are certainly welcome and appreciated!

This year's countdown starts at 108.

Hopefully summer will show up sometime between now and 108 days from now!
 

YES!! Love the feature, always look forward to it every year!

Today brings us to 107!

Paul Giel (I think I'm already sensing a theme, being as there aren't very many kids to ever wear the #10) and Eric Decker.

What about those fabulous prizes that you award? Since it isn't costing you anything to advertise the contest here you must have something left over in your budget. Or did you spend it all at Mable's at your planning meetings? But thanks for all your hard work.:clap:

I spent all of it for promotions at Mable Murphy's. 1 frikking beer. I hate limited budgets.

Actually, Killjoy, we gave away 3 prizes: 3rd place won a shower with Jerry Sandusky, 2nd prize was a stuffed Badger's. a $$! AND 1st prize was the Eye of a Hawk. People that did not win one of the three got drunk.
 


Saturday puts us at 103!

Giel and Martez Shabazz

It's cool to see the players evolve through the years, also, our current Uni's are bada$$.
 

Subtract 7 and we will have the number of days until Predict the Score contests start for Golden Gopher Football games. :cheer::cheer::party::cheer::cheer:

Great advertising campaign! I am surprised that you any money left for it after spending your entire budget on that one beer. Anyway, it is nice to know that Gopher football and your contest is not to far away.
