I plan on being buzzed on campus from 7 AM to kickoff, FWIW.
7am? why such a late start?

Zero chance this is a sellout.
Over 44,000 for last year's opener vs Eastern Illinois, you don't think there's a chance of 8,000 more when you combine TCU fans coming up, a top 2 opponent, and more excitement about the program?
When was our last sellout?
Nope. The Thursday Night complaints are well documented. Common folks won't be excited about our season yet. TCU fans won't travel for this game. I'm not saying it shouldn't be, but it won't be. I think even the U feels it won't be a huge draw based on pricing single game tix barely above Illinois.
Many casual fans can't go to the game because it is the same night as 50% of high school football openers. That rules out about half of the football players and coaches in the state.
I know personally I can't get there until after halftime most likely.
FYI - I called the ticket office and single game tickets for TCU in zone 4 (see zone map here: https://www.mygophersports.com/onli...ports&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=FB2Pack) are selling for $72 each once you include all the extra fees. I thought about it, but I think I'm going to roll the dice on the secondary market. I really want to see the game in person, but $72 a ticket for being higher than 20th row in the upper deck is a lot of money!
I have a hard time believing there is a single Gopher fan out there that absolutely needs to go to the fair on that Thursday night.
Actually, you are a week off. Def Leppard is the Thursday before the game. Game night is Lynyrd Skynyrd with Collective Soul.
Night time game vs. the #2 team in the nation. If we don't sell out it's embarrassing
Middle white unifor isn't too bad, the zubas are turrible tho. Number font is bad though, Nike seems to have a real flair for inventing bad fonts.I hope Gopher fans show up just to boo the uniform changes for TCU.
By the way, these are supposed to look like actual horned frogs and not camo:
Actually, we may be losing about half of our tailgate group to that concert. I would love to go too, but not missing this game/tailgate!

Had the same reaction, they look like PJ's. Gave it some thought and decided that you can't argue with their success. Maybe I am so old school that I have lost touch with what kids want to look like on the field these days. I like the throwback stuff the Gophers do even if it looks odd on todays players.The other two look like pajamas.

I disagree. I kind of like the font, especially on the middle one. But I've never seen 4G used as a number before. Is that even legal?
I think it stands for speed.
