For those of you that haven't been to the annual NFF dinner - you should really attend this year! In the past years, I've gotten to meet Randall McDaniel, John Randle, Darrel Thompson, Rickey Foggie, Bobby Bell, Carl Eller, Ray Hitchcock, and legendary Murray Warmath...the list goes on and on. This year, Eric Decker amongst many others are scheduled to appear. It's a fantastic night for a football fan to be in a fairly intimate atmosphere amongst Gopher and Vikings greats - for a very reasonable price for dinner ($35 for members, $40 for non-members). The best part is, all of the $ goes to high school scholar athletes!
