Warning - Julie, Brandon, and Heidi - do not read this

I must say that today's homecoming game was one of the best Gopher games I've been to in the last few years - we got there in the first quarter and stayed till the end - yeah us! After the game, Sid Hartman even congratulated the strong cheering student section on our enthusiasm and credited us for helping the team win.

Congratulations to the Gophers on the win! When you read the Tribune article about the game, note the picture of Dana and Lenertz on the top left - Dana was a good fan today but unfortunately Lenny didn't join us. He was missed. But we had a good time, good bloody marys, and enjoyed the following( in chronological order):

1. The high guys trying to park
2. The Purdue fan posing the "What town in Minnesota in? Stupidtown. Hehe" question.
3. The guy in the blue dress with lots of blue eye shadow attempting to climb over the ladders and managing poorly
4. The guy in the blue dress with lots of blue eye shadow trying to jump over the fense and failing miserably
   

Laurence Maroney, right, carried the ball 46 times against Purdue but had enough bounce left in his step afterward to revel in the Gophers' big victory with teammate Alex Daniels in front of a cheering section at the Metrodome.
