Rece$$ion Proof: The Online Home of the Section 117 Cla$$y Gentlemen

Btw, I am pretty sure I have spotted a number of you guys in the various "field rush" photos that are out there. Kind of hard to miss.......what with the top hats and all! :)

These guys are Legit! A good showing in their section and I believe I saw them out in Las Vegas. Fun group!!

Mrs. Rescooter thinks they're an awesome bunch too.
 







New content coming to the site today. We had a lot of hits last week and appreciate all the support.
 

More great stuff from the Classy Gentlemen. I'm living vicariously thought you guys now, as you are carrying on Gopher fan-manship in the way I wish I had the time and wherewithal to do myself.

And hey, I'll be sitting in 117 this Saturday (coming down from my 1st row perch in 219, to sit with my tailgate crew). If you see a dashing dude with a solid Movember moustache and Maroon and Gold bandanna, while traversing the aisles, I'm happy to throw a "Headnod of Distinction", "Fancy Flush Fistbump", or "Baronial Backslap" your way.
 

Bandanna Guy - definitely make your way to rows 3-4 at some point Saturday! Have we made any progress on the zip line?
 



Will do, if the appropriate moment arises. If acceptable, I may bring down a Nordeast to offer up to you Mr. Higgy, in salute to your fine website.

Zipline progress is delayed until I get those Badger pelts for my padded safety harness. Would be good to get them on November 23rd.
 

We'll help harvest those pelts on the 23rd. do you want to offer up a prediction for our weekly picks segment?

And all, it's been a big day on the blog.

And a special episode of The Constable and the Kellen: http://recessionproofminnesota.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-constable-and-kellen-ep-4.html
 










AuEG04 - that is one of the smartest things ever said, and 100 percent accurate. Kellen could just go Bob Uecker on it and replace the broad that does play-by-play too. That whole experience of listening to them is ... awful.

Since the Gophers didn't play, there are no Classy Predictions. But today we take a look back at last week's efforts. Congrats Gopher Bandanna Guy! The overall victory in your first time out. Can't wait to see what you come up with for the Badger game.

Enjoy it, friends.
 

I'm glad this got bumped-up, as I hadn't seen this thread before.

Great job, fellas. I really enjoyed your site as well as your sense of humor and fun. :)

Love the commentary, love the pictures, love the videos, and love how much you all love the Gophers. As someone else mentioned earlier in this thread, those of you with children are giving your kids a great gift by way of memories which will last a lifetime, so kudos, and keep it up!

Yeah, I just saw this now as well. Nice job and I'll try to drop by the site as often as I can remember!

Ugh. Pressure is on.

I attempted do stumble down to your rows during the PSU game mid-1st quarter, to bring a Nordeaster to you Mr. Higgy, but I could't get a positive ID, and thus went back up to my row and promptly drank yours (and mine). Admittedly, all the tailgating had me a bit inebriated most of the game.

But I'll be a least a little more sober for The Axe Game (so as to facilitate witty comebacks to BADger a-holes), and sitting back in my usual perch in 219, directly above the 'B' in 'Big Ten Championships'. I'll get you a prediction in a day or two.

First row? If so, look down and to your right, I'm in 114. Right at the edge of the upper deck.
 


GBG - we're much tougher to identify without the top hats! And unfortunately I couldn't have accepted said Nordeast... i spent the whole rest of the day/night working, and it was a borderline scheduling miracle I was able to go to the game at all, the only time i haven't complained about an 11 a.m. kickoff. We'll acquire those badger pelts this weekend and make future collaborations a reality.
 

Understood Mr. Higgy. Glad you were at least able to make the game. My prediction has been emailed (regrettably, based on the estimated outcome). In addition to this tragedy, I misplaced my Gopher Bandanna in all the hijinx following the PSU win. My Gopher alum buddy from WDC thankfully ended up with it somehow, and has mailing it back to me via snail mail. I pray for it's safe return by gameday, and shudder to think what might happen to our beloved Maroon and Gold if I didn't don it on Saturday, temperatures be damned.

Formo - I'll keep an eye out for ya in 114.

It's only weird if it doesn't work. Get that Bandada back or you will just be Gopher _____ Guy and all blame on a Gopher loss will be owed to you. :)

Hah! No doubt (though I must admit to wearing it to every game I've been to at the Bank (and that's most) since the inaugural opener vs. Air Force in 2009. Apparently Coach Brew's teams didn't respond to my chopper-rider-esque features.

USPS tracking has the fabric square located near my home now, hoping for delivery today or tomorrow...
