Gopher Football Opener Being Moved Up to Aug 30th

26

The game has officially been moved up to Thursday. "It is customary in college football for the visiting team to do its best to accommodate these types of requests," Marc Ryan, senior associate athletics director, said in a statement. "Coach [Jerry] Kill felt that there were a number of positives for our program in agreeing to the move." Sorry Gopher fans who were planning to head to Las Vegas over Labor Day weekend, but you'll have to make your trip a little longer or not go at all.
