Welcome to GopherHole’s Eighth Annual Unscientific Survey

This questionnaire is available on both the Basketball Forum and the Football Forum. Your participation determines the success of the Survey and provides invaluable insights and input for the GopherHole Staff’s consideration.

Please save your comments about the survey for another posting, as this thread can get quite large.

Be sure you list all degrees and the schools that you’ve attended and/or if you’re working toward a degree.

I’ll provide two summaries related to the questionnaire, shortly after the survey is closed.

Thanks in advance,
DL65

GOPHERHOLE WEBSITE QUESTIONS
• What do you like about the GopherHole website? I like being able to talk about the Gophers online since I only know one or two other people who care about Gopher sports as much as I do.
• What features or improvements would you like to see implemented? It would be convenient to allow posters who start threads to be able to change the title of their threads. It seems like staff can do this, but I don't think everyone can. Another thought is the ability to "like" or "upvote" posts that I like, as an alternative to simply replying with "+1." I used to regularly visit another VBulletin message board that did this for awhile and it would list the amount of likes posters had gotten under their post count, but then removed the feature. I don't think it's a must-have feature by any means, and it could lead to problems.
• (Killjoy’s question) Who is your favorite GopherHole poster? Probably scher215 and GophersinIowa because they are generally optimistic, level-headed posters, and dpodoll68 because of the previous reasons I gave, and his posts are SO entertaining!
• What GopherHole Forums do you visit with regularity and those that you occasionally visit and post? I visit both the football and basketball forums frequently, favoring one over the other depending on which sport is in season, but I probably post more on the basketball board because I think it's easier to follow.
• Do you participate in the social media? I use the Facebooks

FUN QUESTIONS
• (GophersInIowa question) What favorite foods, snacks do you serve at tailgate gatherings or at home for a Gopher sporting event (looking for new ideas)?
• Who is the most athletic player that you witnessed in person playing for the Golden Gophers? Probably Rodney Williams
• (Great Plains Gopher question) Who is your all-time favorite player that you witnessed in person playing for the Golden Gophers? I like a lot of the basketball players we've had since I started watching them, but I might have to give it to Eric Decker.

GOPHERHOLE WEBSITE QUESTIONS
• What do you like about the GopherHole website? Functional forum website that's fairly easy to read/follow; Enjoy the recruit/signing articles
• What features or improvements would you like to see implemented? Something to more effectively manage and denote the rude, selfish, arrogant, or otherwise crass posts that so frequently fill the forum. So many postings target individuals and make selfish, derogatory, or unfair comments that are immature and unnecessary. I'd love to post more but I just don't have the heart to do it because I'm sure I'd be s*** on by so many anonymous people.

• Do you participate in the social media? No

FUN QUESTIONS

There are so many favorites since I really started remembering games in 1984 or so.
