Sorry I've been away from the interwebs Gopher fans. I've been attending to my sickly grandmother the past few days. You may think I haven't been able to man-up and take my comeuppance after my Badgers finally let down their guard and allowed the Gopherfootball program a tiny slice of joy. I'm happy for ya! Go chop something down with that stick you won. Close down the streets so that the gilded-Gopher fandom can take a gander at something that comes around as often as Halley's Comet.



I've put a on charade for almost 12 years or so? Here's the truth. I'm.... wait for it - not a Badger fan. AT. ALL.



I won' disclose my GopherHole moniker but suffice it to say I've been posting on this forum since its inception and was posting at any of its predecessors since Jason Groth could code software. I did my annual Detlef post first out of sheer boredomfor wanting to tell a tale but when it blossomed into riotous on-line laughter I let my ego get the best of me and decided to continue the saga. Unbeknownst to me I would have to keep this up for the next 12 years.


I imagine most of you knew this was just someone yanking your chain but I assure you there were folks who fell for it hook, line and sinker. For the first couple of years I got direct messages on GopherHole saying something to effect, "I'm a Gopher fan from from Seattle and I took a stein from your bar. Can I mail it back to you?" Truth is, I with another well-known GopherHole poster, did in fact take (smuggle I prefer) a large stein from the Essen Haus following a Gopher loss. Said stein was the center of my storyline. I do wish the memento was around to this day as I would have gladly drank from it following Saturday's win but sadly I think it got misplaced in a west coast move and or did not meet WAF (wife acceptance factor) requirements for home décor.


It was a good run. Amazing how gullible people were as I thought presented enough Easter eggs (clues if you will) throughout my multiple postings to give away the fact that no one other than an ardent Gopher fan could write the things I did. Alas, some people kindly played along and others took it a bit more seriously. Anywho, my 15 minutes of fame are up. I'm retiring this nom de plume from GopherHole lore.


Enjoy the Axe !

This is pretty funny... Kelly Leeks returns from the dead. Again.

This made me laugh. You think people paid enough attention to your posts to identify “Easter Eggs”? Oh my.

Not buying it Detlef, I think someone finally returned said Stein and now that the hex is over, you know it's "game on" with our rivalry.

Go Gophers!!
 

I demand that this account be banned!
 








I loved the bit each year. Whether this post is factual or not, who cares? Well done!

Is your other alias Beavcoon?
 


I haven't posted this and have told next to nobody: five years ago, on a drunken road trip to the Kentucky Derby, my friends and I stopped in Madison for dinner, and there was no choice but for us to go to the Essen Haus. I'd been reading Detlef's posts to the guys in the van on the way down, and our group HAD to know whether there was even a kernel of truth to it. So we stopped, ate, drank...and asked for Detlef. "Who?"

More important: Did you steal a Stein?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

This makes the whole bit a (&@#$ masterpiece.
 


I'm not buying any of this until Kyle Kessel chimes in.

Not sure if I fell for it or not. I'm usually pretty good at sniffing this stuff out. But, good one!

Well, I better go…I’m getting a new car. I just have to wait for an email from eBay giving me further instructions for picking it up at some warehouse. I already sent the cashiers check so the new ride should be ready soon! Exciting times!
