Please note that Gopherhole.com will be having their 4th Annual GopherHole Spring Game Tailgate for The Leukemia Lymphoma Society. It starts at noon in the Maroon lot (plus parking if you park there) and costs $25/person or $5/kids if you prepay by the end of today. Find out more here.

My Thoughts

If you can make it, I suggest you make the effort. I've actually really enjoyed the Alumni game the last two years. They do a funny play-by-play over the speakers and interview some of the alumni. Come on out and spend some time cheering on the Gophers, getting your last fix of football before summer, and get to know you fellow Gopher fans. It's fun for the whole family.
