GOPHERHOLE WEBSITE QUESTIONS
• What do you like about the GopherHole website? Recruiting news I would otherwise have to scour the internet for, insight to games/strategy, historical nuggets, different takes on sports-related issues, the staff articles on pre-game info, post-game analysis etc
• What features or improvements would you like to see implemented? Less moving of threads by admins - it's confusing when one thread (even if slightly related to an existing one) is moved (you also end up with 56 page long threads impossible to follow).

I dunno on the football side Decker was an all around athlete and also extremely skilled at his position. Have to go with him.
• (Great Plains Gopher question) Who is your all-time favorite player that you witnessed in person playing for the Golden Gophers? Decker. Perfect route running, great hands, not afraid to take a hit, blocked like a champ, played through many injuries, and was a classy dude.
