per Joe:
The Gophers Goal Line Club held a special breakfast Tuesday morning to recognize Warren and Ardella Quarnstrom, both age 91, who had never been to a bowl game before this trip to the Holiday Bowl.
The Quarnstroms, who live in Marshall, Minn., flew to San Diego with the Creative Charters group, arriving Monday. They were eating their eggs Tuesday at Joe’s Crab Shack, along with 200-plus Gophers fans, when a surprise guest arrived.
Gophers coach Tracy Claeys stopped by the restaurant to personally deliver the Quarnstroms an autographed football.
“I appreciate you all coming out here,” Claeys said over the restaurant’s loud speaker. “I know San Diego is not the cheapest place to visit. Have fun at the game. Give ’em hell, and go Gophers!”
Holding the football moments later, Warren Quarnstrom said, “I still have two years of eligibility left.”
