Daily Gopher meet-up Southern Cal style
So who else is going to witness the Kill Era in person? Doesn't that just have a nice ring to it? The Kill Era?
I propose that we get a bunch of people together in LA reclaim what is rightfully ours. What am I talking about? Well other than Rose Bowl glory, I'm talking about a certain bar/establishment that resides in LA and is actually a USC fan base bar.
Why on Earth would we congregate at the opposing team's hot spot? Well, because the name of the place is Golden Gopher. I'm not making this up. Not only that, but it actually sounds like a cool place and Yelp! people agree.
I'm actually getting in late Thursday night and going to the Twins game in Anaheim on Friday. I'm thinking we may go to Golden Gopher Friday night (it does not open before game time on Saturday) after the Twins lose another game. Again, I say we reclaim what is rightfully ours. Who here is with me?
Let's say 9:00 PM on Friday.
Golden Gopher
417 W 8th St
Los Angeles, CA 90014
Ski-U-Mah!

The Bar is definitely worth a stop
Cool vibe and make sure to check out the lamps (unfortunately they’ll bolted down…)
I'll be out there Thurs through Sunday.
But Friday night I am going to the Twins/Angels game so I cannot make this. I would be more inline for something pre or post game. There are some really great crack houses near the field that we could over run with Gopher pride. Im kidding, but I think friday night would be cool at the Golden Gopher, but Im also up for something I can attend on Saturday.
Where is everyone sitting? Im up in section 17. Cant wait for the game!
Section 13
I also got this information from the UM alumni chapter in LA:

I wish I was going. My buddy has a place out there and I’m sure I could still get crendentialed. Who wants to sponsor GN’s flight? :)
what you say here can, and will, be used against you The Daily Gopher
Tailgate
I signed up for the U of M tailgate. Not a bad deal. rencito are you going to that as well?
I'm in town Thursday - Monday
I’ll be at the Alumni Tailgate / Sota Social and sitting in Section 3, Row 62 for the game. I’ll see what my group wants to do for Friday night, but I’ll toss it out there.
When we get the Pig, the Jug and the Axe, we'll have one hell of a picnic
Thursday - Sunday for me
Marsh…where are you right now? Judging by your logo Texas? I’m in Dallas.
We will probably be going to the Golden Gopher on Thursday and/or Friday nights.
I’m sitting in section 19 I believe. Row 73. Hopefully I can actually see from way up there.
I'm down in Austin
We’re at 71 days over 100 for the year. I’m from Minnesota. FML
I’m taking a direct flight to LA on Thursday night, landing around 9pm and staying in Santa Monica. I’ll be wearing a Gophers shirt in the airport, for what it’s worth.
Here’s a link to the seating chart at the Coliseum. I think the top of the actual seats and the start of the benches is around row 75
When we get the Pig, the Jug and the Axe, we'll have one hell of a picnic
I just moved from Austin to Dallas
…sadly. Finished b-school and the job took me up I-35. I love Austin though.
Looks like Texas contingent is going out there
Im flying Virgin America from Dallas to LA. Looking forward to a flight for once in a very long time. Im staying at a friends house in Orange country or I would hit the Golden Gopher if I was up in LA.
Great idea...
…that I’ll have to miss out on. Boo. My group is flying in and out of San Diego b/c we get use of house in Escondido for free (hooray for my buddy’s uncle being awesome!). So we’re hitting the Padres/Rockies game on Friday night.
We’ll be at the Alum Association tailgate before the game though! We’re also going to hit the Twins game Saturday night on the way back to Escondido.
Really looking forward to this weekend!
Twins
My plans to see 2 Twins games are dwindling. I think I am only catching the Friday game and taking my time on getting back to Anaheim for the Sat game. Will probably watch it from a sports bar…. Maybe I will see some of you at the Gopher tailgate. Go Gophers!
Tailgating
Hey All, if anyone is looking for an alternative to the official tailgate and/or wants to get out there earlier than it opens, my dad (Class of ‘62) and I (spent a year at the U for grad school) are going to be hosting a little tailgate with some Trojan friends of mine on the SC campus. We’re planning on getting out there around 8:30 am. We should be easy to find, I’m sure we’ll be the only ones using a UCLA tent, but you can also shoot me an email at kfich@live.com and I’ll give you my cell number to make it easier to find us. Go Gophers!
