Thought I would start a new thread where we could share some of our Earliest Gopher memories when you were growing up. Feel free to include stories about memories of your own children as well (taking your kids to their first game or grandkids etc.) Or any other Gopher story you want to share.
My parents raised me as a Minnesota sports fan. Not just Gophers but across the board (Twins Wild Vikings etc). For me my earliest Gopher memories it is watching football games on TV with my dad during the Jim Wacker years and the gophers for the most part losing. My dad would get so angry and I thought it was so funny that he took it so seriously. I would start laughing. The angrier he got the harder I would laugh until finally he would start laughing. I wish I went to Gopher games in person as a kid but we never did.
I have great memories of the basketball final four fun as well. I watched every game that year. My favorite play was during the tournament when Bobby Jackson went after a loose ball and called a timeout in midair while flying out of bounds.
