per Jace:
After all the hype and build up, College GameDay delivered. The Minnesota Gophers faithful made it so.
Despite a steady overnight snowfall, near freezing temperatures and the occasional sleet storm, Minnesota fans came out in droves for the pregame party’s first trip to the U campus. By 7 a.m. — a full hour before GameDay’s official start time — Northrop Mall was half full.
They arrived bearing clever signs — from Tanner Morgan and P.J. Fleck’s faces plastered on a Step Brothers movie poster to celebrations of the Gophers’ beloved Dilly Bar Dan to taunts stemming from the Badgers’ loss to Illinois.
Most in attendance were dressed warmly; others flashed their Midwestern heartiness through a lack of apparel.
One shirtless fan had his chest hair shaved to replicate Paul Bunyan’s Axe. It was suggested to a fan wearing nothing under a set of overalls that he should have dressed a little warmer.
“I do this all the time,” he said.
