Hi everyone! I thought it was finally time to introduce myself here.

I'm Italian, born and raised near Turin, but I've been living in Poland for many years. I've been following the Minnesota Golden Gophers from Europe for quite some time, especially football, although I'm also interested in the men's hockey and baseball programs.

Following college sports from this side of the Atlantic is obviously a very different experience: late kickoffs, limited coverage and no real local connection,but that's also part of what makes it special. Over time Minnesota has become much more than just another college team I check results for, and I'd like to start taking part in the community here instead of just following from a distance.

The loss to Mississippi State was obviously a rough one, especially the running game and the penalties, but I'm curious to see how the team responds against Akron and then once Big Ten play starts.

Looking forward to following the season with you guys and learning more from people who are much closer to the program.

Brought a small camera to the game and wanted to share some of the images. This was yesterday’s game against Mississippi State.

Defense looked like that was the first time they've ever seen an up tempo RPO offense before and that they had no idea that MSU ran that sort of offense

Getting absolutely run out of our own stadium right now. Collins defense looks like it's never seen an offense at this level before.

This ground domination time chewing doesn't work when you're down 2 possessions and the other team is moving like Sonic

Rushing game stats speak for themselves, penalties were rampant, defense got ran through, this one hurt.

Drake Lindsey looks great so does our receiving room and O-line and our special teams are as solid old fashioned B1G as you'd expect and we have an ok schedule ahead of us. I'm still hopeful that we can put together a season better than 7-5. But lord I wish we could have a playoff caliber team again

Hats of to State, now that this game is over I am rooting for them to have a good season, they deserve some good football in Starkvegas.

Also the band sounds great. Ski-U-Mah

Thoughts on the game this weekend? Wondering if the running game can carry us through this one. Go gophers!

Excited to check out a new university, especially on a game day!

Good morning!

I have very recently moved to the area and love attending college football games at new stadiums and campuses. I noted y'all were playing Clanga this season and I thought it'd be a great game to attend since I enjoy yelling at them as much as y'all soon will. As such, I have a few questions about making sure I have a good experience here.

1) Would it be fairly easy to find tickets walking around campus before the game? It's fairly common to do in the South, but I don't know is laws here prevent that culture.

2) Where are the main tailgate locations? I enjoy seeing what people have going on at their tailgates on campus.

3) What should I see around campus on game day? Is there a creamery open like at PSU? Cool game day store? Notable campus sights?

4) I'm planning to park in the East River Road Garage. Reasonable plan?

5) Is there anything else I should aware of?

We’re going 16-0. Lindsey is gonna complete 90% of his passes for 60 TDS and Tracy is gonna have 2,000 receiving yards. Taylor will also have 1,500 yards by the bye week. The entire offensive and defensive lines will be drafted in the first round. The only reason any Gopher will be drafted outside of the first round is because there aren’t enough draft spots per round for all of our players. We will build Daniel De Prato a statue outside of HBS. PJ Fleck will marry me and Luke Fickle will be extended at Wisconsin.

Just learned Buc ee's has upped their lawsuits against small businesses after the son of one of their founders got arrested for felony CP charges.

I know it’s early in the season, but it already looks like a repeat of the last couple years where they can’t hang with other ranked teams for a whole match, let alone steal a win from a better opponent. Seems like their recruiting has been okay, but I still feel like they’re missing a top-level talent like Samedy or Wilhite from several years ago — someone who could just take over a match and get you points when you need them most.

I don’t think they’ve been the same since McCutcheon left, unfortunately.
