Barn Blurbs 3/17/09 is voting for Goldy
Posted on 17. Mar, 2009 by JF.
Mascot Death Match Vote for Goldy! It’s Gopher Season Arrogant and over-confident Texans? Shocking! Let’s up hope they hang up the “Mission Accomplished” banner before the game. Minnesota Gophers are underdogs against Texas in NCAA tournament first round With such vastly different styles of play, I wouldn’t call anyone a favorite. Aldrich’s high school coach [...]

By now you have probably familiarized yourself with all the gory details of Minnesota’s not as close as the score 70-62 loss to Purdue. It was another loss, and nothing we haven’t seen before.
