I was excited, many of you were asking if we were doing this again, and we are! The U hasn't set the tailgate times or lots yet, but we needed to get our invite out so people can plan.

Instead of lugging all your tailgating stuff to the lot, setting up, cooking, cleaning up, buying beer...join ours. We'll have the Gopher Van set up, and you can eat all the food you can and drink all the beer you want for $35 a person (if you pre-pay, day of is $50). Also, since we're getting everything donated, every cent goes to LLS!

I think anyone that's been in the past, knows it's a blast. We've had special appearances by Goldy, Jerry Kill, Eric Decker, and many others in the past...who knows what surprises we'll have this year? :)

I'm seeing on GopherSports.com that the game is now at noon. Does that change the start time for the tailgate?

Thank you! They just announced it Thursday and updated the invite, but didn't edit this. Yes, we'll start at 9am, and the game is at noon.
 

Just got word that we'll be having a very special guest appearance...
