    It pays to be friends with Gopher season ticket holders. Just got 4 tickets to the Season opener. I stopped going because of Frost, but hoping Rhule can get us a big W!

    Geez Louise. The cheapest ticket on StubHub is $114 in the nosebleeds. Who the hell is paying that?

    Our tickets were still 100 a piece but they are about 30 yard line and have physical seats(not a bench).

    The prices will all go down. Gopher fans know husker fans will come up. Honestly would suggest to buy day of.

    So I 'think' you need a reservation at least a few days in advance, so you may want to call and double check now before you get there. Masks are required for all indoor exhibits and recommended for the outdoors as well. And then they're limiting the overall # of guests I believe but with the reservation that shouldn't be an issue.

    We sent several weeks ago and TBH it didn't really feel that much different. Just a little less busy but my family and I have almost always gone during non-peak hours/days.

    Just saw PJ Fleck at Kinkos getting "2020 Co-National Champion" and "Row the boat to an undefeated season-2020" banners printed...

    Rashod Bateman(WR- MN Gophers) has decided to opt out of the 2020 College Football season and focus on the 2021 NFL Draft. Huge hit for the Gophers.

    @BigRedBuster Bateman is a first-round prospect that doesn't want to risk getting COVID or further injury for a season which or which may not happen.  It makes more sense to start planning on the next step in his career instead of messing around with staying at Minnesota for a few more months.

    @bigredbuster With the unknown process and how many games he might play, this will allow him to hire an agent, start to make money and then work toward the NFL. Given the uncertain safety, I think this move makes sense for someone who has a first round grade already.

    But what about his education?

    Mike Gundy has lost his team.... I dont see how he survives this if he loses some of the players who have already spoken up.

    One other piece of advice, the time of year greatly impacts price.  Fall (aka Hurricane Season) is the cheapest, where as winter through spring is more expensive.  Also, we will always fly down to the port a day early, because you never know what will happen with weather/mechanical issues and the ship ain't waiting for you.

    @Enhance Yeah. To me it's like... if I'm going to Mexico, I wanna explore some Mayan ruins or something, not sit around in some tourist bar, you know? Chichen Itza > Cabo Wabo.

    @Red Five Thanks for all the great information. We are looking at RC and Norwegian. At this point I think we are targeting more the east side/ leave from Ft Lauderdale and then cruise down and back--5 days. We have done the all inclusive which are fun but we want to try something different. No idea if a Cruise is for us but worth a shot. We are targeting end of April.

    Is getting a subscription to Husker 247 worth it? Looks like it is 53 bucks for a year.... Or just go for the monthly 9.95... Curious for those who have it?

    I'd suggest you invest about half that in getting a subscription to The Athletic and utilize HB and The Recruiting Hour as free resources and spend the remaining money on some Shiner Bock Holiday Cheer.  You'll be much happier that way!

    @Xmas32 Already have an atheletic subscription---It isnt half that, but I do like it. 

    I appreciate everyones advice!

    The Athletic is okay. I probably won't renew next year, though.

    Watching Gophers game and PJ Fleck movie for them was the Lion King, comparing them losing to Iowa like Simba having his dad die... Good lord.

    The trolls of other teams are really picking their game up in going after Frost and Nebraska. Had a Gopher fan tweet at me we wouldnt beat them the next half decade. Mocking his hoodie take. 

    Screw 'em. GBR

    Meh... They're about to get slapped back to reality with the back half of their schedule.

    In watching a few gopher games(not by choice), I actually think they beat Northwestern and Iowa no problem. They lose to Penn State and Wisconsin honestly feels like a toss up. The gophers have gelled at the right time. If they would have played a tough non-con they would have 1-2 losses already but they didnt and therefore snuck by. I actually do think they are the 4th best team in the B1G(OSU, PSU, Michigan, MN).

    I think they win Northwestern (but you never know with the nerds), Iowa is a toss up. I think Penn State smokes them. Wisconsin is close, but I would favor the Badgers.

    Mainly getting pity this week for the Husker loss. Usually I get friendly jabs, but it seems like most people are treating me like a loved one died. Gopher fans probably know the pain.

    Clemons fan at work, was the same way. Michigan fans are keeping their mouths shut though. Which is nice.

    3 wins in a row was nice, but still need to let Miles go. I hope the Hoiberg rumors are true. That all said, I love Tim Miles. I hope he finds a mid-major team and does well. That was a very fun B1G tournament but that doesnt change my concerns of Miles as a coach.

    Unfortunately for Miles, I think even winning the NIT isn't enough of a justification. The story is mostly written and I don't think Moos would release an announcement about an announcement if he was planning to retain Miles.

    Let's hope that Kansas job doesn't open up..

    Pretty exciting that we went 3/3 on announcements today. 5 spots open and honestly I hope we are a bit picky with those spots. This class is shaping out to be really good.

    Maybe Juco guys? Or should those guys have already signed?

    Coach F just addreessed lingering needs in order: outside linebacker, pass rusher, receiver. Pretty good presser. He doesn’t hide or dress up the info
