Gophers fans, you can spend Christmas with one current or former Gopher athlete or coach: Who are you choosing and why?

Tim Brewster....but only if he agrees to bring the Rose Bowl Turf.
 

Gimme Tony Dungy. Loved him as a player. Incredible coaching career. Super nice guy.
 

Are you OK? I don’t think he attended the university of Minnesota.
My apologies. I always thought the M on his cross country uniform was for Minnesota. I checked and it is for Macalester in St Paul. Oops!
 

My chili’s cold and needs heating up, so I gotta go with Brew.
 




I’d love to play some catch with Liedner. Front yard, 10-15 years apart, hoping for 52% completion rate.
 

Alan Page has led a fascinating life.
 






We’ll, he was a Viking, not a Gopher (Notre Dame). But I’d agree on the fascinating life.
Actually Page does have a Law degree from the University of Minnesota.
 





The only way to ensure an elite Christmas would be to spend the day with our current football coach.

In football, I would like to talk with Tony Dungy. I have family near Jackson Michigan where Tony grew up and his book was inspirational regarding family. I suspect the conversation wouldn't have all that much to do with football, but more to do with life and purpose.

Yeah, guess he doesn't really fit the question since he wasn't a U of M athlete or coach but he is a U of M alum.
 



No order, but would have interest in all of these people:

Willie Burton
MB III
I. Mohammed
Arriel McDonald
Ric Flair
A.J. Barker
Jordan Murphy
Matt Spaeth

Probably many more, but I like that list.
