It is kind of like the Twins losing to the Yankees over and over again. You're a big fan, so you have to watch, yet while you're watching you really don't want to watch since you have a pretty good idea how the game will conclude in terrible fashion once again. Kind of like the definition of insanity (doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results).

So now we're in the dog days of the program for 2010 -- no more wins, can't fire Brewster yet, don't know which coaching candidates are realistic yet, Brew won't change up the QB, no good recruiting news, etc. Yet here we all sit as Gopher fans dying for some good news (or at least different news) about our beloved program.

That being said, my group of buddies are heading to Purdue this week to watch what should be our best chance at a W. Anyone have any good ideas for our trip or a sign or T-shirt that we should bring to the game?

How about a T-shirt that reads:

2010 Gopher Football
Coaches card says "Drink Heavily."​
 

Front of the T-shirt reads: Minnesota Football Fan

Back: F*ck My Life

Are you guys staying in Purdon't on Friday night? I've been trying to find a hotel for our group and been completely unsuccessful. We might even stay in Champaign and party up there and make our way to Purdue in the morning. I'm sure we just waited to late.

Also is there a designated MN tailgate somewhere?
 

You could just put paper bags over your heads and keep anyone in that stadium guessing who you are cheering for.
 

We're RV'ing it. We usually search for a spot close to campus on Friday night where we can stay to tailgate in the morning (usually not the RV lots which typically are boring for tailgating) and which is within walking distance to the game.

I'm thinking of wearing my "Tubby Time" T-shirt.

Or maybe I wear a T-shirt that says: "Gophers' Homecoming Game Tour 2010" and list all the Big Ten campuses in which the Gophers are playing Homecoming games this year.
 



No more wins? Maybe, maybe not. It's a funny game. Just wear your Gopher gold, and cheer loudly. If you cave to the trolls, they will just keep giving you more crap.

Rodent - I gotta say, while I'm with you most of the time, it seems that realists (and not the trolls) are the ones that are most in tune with the current state of the Gopher progam.

I'll be cheering loudly for my Gophers, but when I'm out and about with Purdue fans -- make no illusion -- I will realistically affirm that my favorite team is really, really bad this year.
