GOPHERHOLE WEBSITE:

What do you like about GopherHole? I like the compilation of info on the Gophers, others' insights and thoughts. I don't encounter alot of serious Gopher fans, and it's nice to share in the joy and sorrow that is Gopher football with other like-minded people.

What changes you’d like so see: a like/dislike button would be nice. I'd like a place to look back on players from when they were recruited or signed. Other than the ratings that I think we have, what was the scoop on the player, an interesting tidbit like Bateman getting a tattoo before signing, or Tanner committing without visiting (those are easy examples).

FUN QUESTIONS RELATED TO PLAYERS, COACHES YOU WATCHED SINCE YOU STARTED FOLLOWING GOPHER FOOTBALL

All-Time Favorite Player: Too many, but Chip Lohmiller, BBC and Cedric Thompson stand out. John Mayasich - ahead of his time and an incredibly classy gentleman.

Age: Old enough to be in the stands for wins over Michigan and Ohio State at Memorial Stadium

Gender: Male

Minnesota Native: No-from Indianapolis

Current Address/Locale: Eden Prairie

Gopher Fan Since: 1974. First game was a 34-19 loss to the Buckeyes at Memorial Stadium. It was better than the final score. After getting booed at the end of the third quarter, the Gophers scored 16 points in about four minutes pulling within 28-19 before the Buckeyes Cornelius Greene on third and five went 57 yards for a TD. It prepared me for future third down defensive failures.

For the game, Rick Upchurch had 107 yards rushing (1 TD), 50 yards receiving, 45 yards passing, 33 yards returning kick offs and 6 yards on punt returns. OSU’s Archie Griffin ran for 133 (yawn).
