Well, if all our fortunes will change if we get Troy a sweater, well let’s get him a dang sweater!
Go Gophers!!

If PJ can win out, I'd be happy to send TS a sweater paid for out of my own pocket.This is sad though! Especially if TS Jr. had been reaching out and no one’s gotten back to him? I get that current program is not in the business of giving out free things to ALL previous program football alums but c’mon! It’s not like our current football program is receiving 100s of free merch requests monthly?
Not sure what type of programs our current football program has in place to reconnect with our football alums? I meant besides the obvious stuff like Homecoming, open practices to alums, game day side line passes…do they have an annual Alumni Day? An annual Alumni Banquet? Big Gopher-Lil Gopher program (a football alum mentoring current players), Something special that connects our current program to our past players.
If I recall correctly, TS Jr was a great player for us!
I guess PJ’s focus is to win first and we all know he’s having a tough time orchestrating that so can’t expect him to focus much on previous players that weren’t his.

I was tying our bad luck to PJs plastic surgery. Haven’t been able to look at/think of him the same since his face changed.It's that damn Stein all over again. You would think we learned our lesson from that
It is definitely a classic.How dare you!
I own that sweater
Troy if you're reading this, post your address and I'll send you a sweater.
To be determined. It would be pretty funny if we all sent him random sweaters though.A Gopher sweater or are you just sending him a generic sweater?
Go Gophers!!
Yep and they got a free education worth about $100,000-$200,000 (depending if in-state or not) and no one was forcing them to play football.I do grow tired of athletes, especially football players, that talk about "laying their body on the line", "going to battle", "giving blood, sweat, and tears..", yada, yada, yada. Don't think you're saving the world from anything, or bringing us world peace. You're not. You're a grown many playing a child's game.
I have a nephew that did a couple of tours in the Middle East, now he is someone that put his life on the line....along with his childhood friend that literally gave an arm and a leg.
To be fair records like this exist because of the dire state of our program in 2008/2009. His best statistical game ever was our 55-0 loss to Iowa in 2008 when he had 283 return yards on 9 total returns. Probably won't ever be broken with all of the touchbacks.Still holds the NCAA record for most kick return yards ever.
Can’t we send him several?

Well shit, I guess we can kiss all the Dallas football recruits goodbye now because someone didn't send Troy a box of sweaters. He wants the gear so bad because it's his school he cares so much about but at the same time is willing to tear it down because he isn't given free t-shirts.
