Tristan is completely correct... not really understanding the counter-argument here...
You know, I think Gopher fans, that now is a chance to finally be realistic and be decent fans like the rest of the country. Admit that you were/are some of the worst/immature in the country and move on from that reputation. We try to have knowledgeable conversations with you and for years it's like talking to a brick wall of: "GO AWAY BECKY!!! WE'RE FINE OVER HERE BY OURSELVES! WE DON'T TAKE VISITING FANS. KEEP THEM AWAY!"
Why not drop the guard once and for all and join the rest of the college football community? It's an opportunity to start from scratch and re-build a positive reputation for you fan base instead of the fickle, stand-offish, defensive that you've become famous for over the decades. At this point for you, change is GOOD, right?
