Very nice to see and hopefully this translates to more interest in the team as well as game attendance. KFAN has realized this is a major story and are talking more and more about the Gopher football team. I am surprised even Paul Allen has been talking about them and not even sounding bored. I like the insights from others on the KFAN such as Ryan Burns, Justin Gaard and Scott Korzenowski as well as quality airtime to interviews of PJ Fleck.
I am even hearing Gopher talk on KQRS with Tom Barnard and Bob Sansevere but there aren't any insights from them - they are just picking up on the story. All this is good news - I like any positive talk about our team and all this will help get more fans out to the game.
After the Wisconsin and Georgia Tech wins from last year, most people on here realized there was a possible major story brewing here if everything played out. I was hoping we would continue the steam riding into this year but I think the vibe shifted toward the successful Twins story and people got into that this Summer. There is very little steam for the Wild or the Timberwolves right now but people around here are talking about the Vikings resurgence as well.
It's just good to see more and more people getting fired up about Gopher football. I am hoping with the projected 60 degree day this Saturday we get a good walkup sale and a good crowd for Maryland here. The media does help and any good press we get is a good thing! A victory over Maryland would be huge for this program and we would be able to get 2 weeks to build up to what would be a very huge game against Penn St. This has been a very fun season for us all so far and hopefully it will get even more fun the last 5 games!!
