yeah, I think gold outs will always be planned for early season games due to the lack of gold coats and I also am convinced our fan base simply can't pull it off. This will be another failure in a long line of gold out failures. It would be fun to have it work though. I just think the cart has to be behind the horse. Like so many things related to Gopher football fandom, the gold outs will probably start working once the team starts winning. As it is now, there are just too many people that carry season tickets, or purchase a set of tickets that do not follow the team closely. So, they steer their ship right past all the gold-out reminder buoys and show up for the game in their maroon sweatshirt, or jean jacket and never realize a gold out had even been in session.
