I second the recommendation for Sauce on the Side. The Pancho Villa calzone is top notch.

Oh hey you have kids too?

Technically that game was on the calendar for Thanksgiving a year in advance. I was a junior during the Sugar Bowl season, and I remember during football season ticket signups during spring '01 semester, they gave you the option of buying the full 6 game package or the 5 game package without...

In the Stadium Village area, Sally’s is a great spot (think Legends, but updated). And in the Dinkytown area, Burrito Loco and Loring Pasta Bar are classics. The wings at Burrito Loco are superb. Enjoy!

Sadly, Rice Garden in the Union is no longer an option for you. Man did I love their kung pao chicken! Sorry I know this really wasn't helpful to you at all. Just seemed like a great opportunity to reminisce.

Interesting that the team will stay in Minneapolis on Thursday/Friday. Anyone have any idea where they're practicing? Would love to grab a picture with Coach Underwood!

I’ll be there. Gophers have been dogged by slow starts this year (see the game vs Drake and today vs Harvard). If we come out like we did against Mizzou, we will have a shot. Students are still on break, and while the plan is for Nate Mason to be back for this game, he may not be as effective.

Not to stray further off topic, but I didn't realize that this is what became of the Mizzou guy... http://www.nationalreview.com/article/435307/mizzou-hunger-strike-guy-posted-video-himself-dancing-alone-song-about-one-night I am VERY interested in seeing what you're referencing materialize...

In 2004, it was just Illinois, Wisconsin, and MSU. That may be going back farther than you were thinking though...

Am I wrong, or did Mark Smith finish 12-for-12 from the free throw line? If so, that’s awesome to see us excel at the stripe so far.

Anyone else get spooked by the name "Clifton" in the corner of that intro video? Thought it was gonna be a Cliff Alexander all over again. Happy it wasn't! :chief:

Northwestern, hands down. A bowl-less season can still be somewhat salvaged by beating them on Thanksgiving weekend. With that said, I think the rivalry would be much more intense if the game were moved up earlier in the season to when it still means something for both teams (see 2011).

And I'm pretty sure that the only time those fences are not tarped is during the offseason, which is when you don't have masses of football fans that would theoretically need to be impressed by an unobstructed view.

If any ducks were hurt during the joyride, that'd surely be an intentional fowl.
