per WCCO:
The last time the U was 8-0 in football was 1941.
And this is the first time the Gopher football team has faced another undefeated team this late in the season.
Last week the University got a shipment of 50,000 Gopher rally towels. They’ll be given to fans at the TCF Bank Stadium gates on Saturday.
“I think everyone is going to go crazy. I’m really excited for it. I think the whole stadium will go crazy and it will be a good time,” said student Alex Kroll.
“If we win — definitely storming the field. It’s going to be insane if we can pull it off,” said student Ryan Miller.
The excitement stems from the fact that it’s been 78 years since the Gophers were 8-0. In addition to gold rally towels, fans are encouraged to dress in maroon for a “maroon out.” That’s good news for the Minnesota Alumni Market who just happens to have a wide variety of maroon merchandise on campus.
“We have a Ski-U-Mom and a Ski-U-Pa and a little onesie as well,” said Lisa Huber.
“It’s a got a different vibe. A different energy. People are getting excited about the game,” said Mike Wierzbicki, Assistant Athletic Director of Marketing.
