Nadine aka/Gopherlady was called "Queen of Gopher Nation" by Paul Allen.
Long questions (conversational) by Paul Allen cut into Nadine's allotted time. (My take and/or criticism.)
1) Nadine on this year's team: Setting expectations appropriately . . . there's more discipline . . . young team . . . more focus . . . undersize at some positions.
2) Coach Kill's honesty is so welcome.
3) What excites you about this year season? Nadine: fan mood . . . . fresh face and look . . . possibilities about the future, especially long term.
4) Fanbase is masochistic (Paul Allen): Nadine: "Expect the worse, hope for the best." (laughter) "I'm hopeful; we have a coach, now."
5) Topics at GopherHole: Excitement for USC matchup. Marqueis Gray and Max Shortell. Moses Alipate: out of the mix . . . needs conditioning . . . has received a lot of criticism that's been unfair . . . is a Gopher (always wanted to be a Gopher). Max Shortell: "There's a lot of faith in him . . . talented but an unexperienced freshman . . . if he doesn't redshirt, hope he gets a lot of snaps."
6) Great we're playing USC, but it's not a confidence builder, if you don't play well.
7) Breaking news related to GopherHole: Sean Hoffman will be joining GopherHole and writing a column.
Miss Minnesota also appeared on the show, which cut into Nadine's time (oh well). Nice job, Nadine!
Go Gophers!!
