Gopher Football is part of your total education. Go Gophers!
 

My daughter was one of them. Said it was pretty cool. Many of her new friends had purchased season tix before welcome week.

Go Gophers!!

This is becoming my favorite annual picture.

Oh. Now I get it. They aren't planning a "Gold Out", they are planning a "Gold Outline".

I remember my first college football game as an incoming freshman. Wait a minute, no I don't!!!
 

Exciting stuff. I think it's a great idea to orientate the incoming Freshmen to the stadium & get themn excited about the football team from day 1.

think about that student section picture for a moment. that is just the freshman class and look home much of the student section they fill up. now imagine the sizes of the sophomore thru senior classes combined with these freshman guys/gals. throw in grad students too. my point being, if we can get on a consistent roll of success over the next decade and even just 60-70% of the total student body bought football season tickets the student section would be absolutely jam packed (and likely need to be expanded) every home game.

here is hoping coach kill and the team are able to do just that.

GO GOPHERS! SKI-U-MAH!
 









I had alot of my friends in the big M last night! That's a pretty cool site!
 

My grandson was there. He is in the 37th row left side, 8th person in. Now you can see him.

Wouldn't that be 30,000 - 35,000 people?
