per USA Today:
While its football team seemed to be treading water most of Thursday night, the University of Minnesota clearly is all in on new coach P.J. Fleck’s “row the boat” mantra.
T-shirts with the slogan were everywhere during the Gophers’ squishy season opener against Buffalo. Gold and maroon foam oars are being sold. The team carried an oar onto the field at the beginning of the game. Fans chanted “Row the boat! Row the boat.”
GOPHERS WIN:
The team’s new helmets include the slogan from the back to the front. Mascot Goldy Gopher carried an oar. And Caribou Coffee debuted "ROW THE BOAT/GOPHER BLEND."
Even the marching band created a rather clever formation of oars rowing a boat during its halftime performance.
