I remember these ads! Cant tell if you are being sarcastic or not, but these were brilliant.

Great spot Bleed. They were awesome! Who in the " F " is running the marketing Department over there? Heck, I'd bring a couple of young people over from Carlson School of Business and let them have at it. Another good one was the Ricky Foggie " There's is no place like the Dome" A spinoff from the Wizzard of Oz

These would be absolutely amazing to do again, especially if they made it look like an older documentary.

As a Gopher fan, I am sick of being stepped on, run over, shot and killed, all for the sake of a poor rodent who never hurt anyone except dig an occasional hole in the ground. It is time for Gophers to become rabid and attack.

GO GOPHERS!!!

Why? I find them quite humorous. There hasn't been much for attention grabbing commercials for Gopher football. Maybe something away from a serious rah-rah commercial would grab more attention from average TV viewers.

You could be right but they are a definite WTF to me.

These are O.K. but there were even better ones back in what I think was the late 80's or early 90's. I don't exactly recall the specifics but there was this one where a bunch of Gopher football players are inside a sled of a car ripping through a field. If I'm not mistaken, the ad takes some kind of shot at SIN-BAD. I think it may have been part a series that went something like "do you know what it is like to be hit by a gopher?". Since I suffer from CRS (can't remember sh!t), maybe someone savvy at finding these types of things could post them.

Go Gophers!

Don't mind station, he hates dogs too.

Don't hate dogs. Just don't think they belong in a baseball stadium with 35,000 people.

Don't hate kids either. Just don't think a bunch of screaming kids belong in an adult dinner restaurant. Where's the masking tape?

Go to the Off Topic Board and tell me which golf trophy you prefer.

can we get this as an ad campaign - maybe play if after a touchdown - I'd sing along
