Just because the program has been on a 50 year nap doesn’t mean all the ingredients aren’t there for a spectacular big time college football environment.
After all, we invented cheerleading, for God’s sake! John Phillip freaking Sousa wrote a march - just for us!
The old time traditions are spectacular and new twists like the scoreboard concerned gopher kicking distraction and the “do the Gopher” fourth quarter dance always seem to capture the attention and humor of visitors.
When the Gophers are rolling, the rouser spellout is particularly intimidating. This is not the first time I have heard a visitor point out how annoying it is to them.
Of course it is all so much more fun, and exponentially magnified with a full stadium and a packed student section.
