Welcome to GopherHole’s Eighth Annual Unscientific Survey

This questionnaire is available on both the Basketball Forum and the Football Forum. Your participation determines the success of the Survey and provides invaluable insights and input for the GopherHole Staff’s consideration.

Please save your comments about the survey for another posting, as this thread can get quite large.

Be sure you list all degrees and the schools that you’ve attended and/or if you’re working toward a degree.

I’ll provide two summaries related to the questionnaire, shortly after the survey is closed.

Thanks in advance,
DL65
