Makes me want to book a seat on the charter just to do that.

Bring with? Or return flight? I think the piece here disappeared.

Good for Mark. He will have a four-year+ free education and the experience of a lifetime.

I went to a few North Star games in the 70's - 80's. I often saw the same three guys walking in the corridor chanting Bouprau Bouprau OI! OI! OI!

I got a kick out of it but it was years before I learned it was an Aussie thing.

We need him to scout Australia for future Gophers.

I know the ball is a little rounder, but it's amazing the accuracy and the distance those guys get punting the ball in the AFL.
