A little reminder with what we’re doing here. The concept is simple. Each week (probably Tuesdays, but as you’ve noticed we’re already off that schedule) I’ll run a post that has an image. Your job is to write a fun caption for the image in the comments. There are no official prizes for the best captions (as voted on by “recs”) but the pride you’ll feel as the “winner” each week should be spoils enough I’m sure. My intent is for all the images to come from Minnesota sporting events or related activities.

Last week’s entry broke all the rules. How and why was this the case?

HOWEVER...as I was completing work on my first version of this post (which had a funny image of Reggie Lynch) I was presented with a non-Gophers image too worthy of mockery and witty retort to pass up. So for your first CAPTION THIS post, please give us the best caption for what Wisconsin Badgers fans managed to pull off in this image...

As you can see, I had to do it. And there was no contest as to who was the winner in the comments. Congrats to bobby1927!

That’s an excellent winning caption to start us off!

This week’s image comes from the recent Gopher Road Trip up to northern MN, and it features Richard Pitino and P.J. Fleck walking across the headwaters of the Mississippi River at Itasca State Park.
