Gopher fan at game has opportunity to be tough guy, retreats
You'd think he'd at least lie and make up a better finish to this story. It is the internet...

P.S. There's some decent schadenfreude to be found at that site. The thread discussing Ralph Sampson III possibly going pro has some gems.

Haha, take THAT!

A tough Hombre !. UM still got the W!

Gopher fans are capable of accessing the Internet and using message boards.

I do like the first responder's idea to use that one word to yell, "FRREEEDDDOOOOMMM!"
That would have been a good choice.
February 27th, 2011 at 7:22 PM ^
I would've gone with... "All right, I'll tell you something: go fuck your mother." ...
What do you want to tell me now, tough guy? I said, "Bing, what are you doing here? I thought I told you to go fuck your mother!"

being a Scotsman and all. I would have laughed my @ss off if I was there.

I bet $100 he was at least 6'3", blonde, with a polite and pleasant personality, and had a last name that ended with "strom" or "burg".
Take that Minnesota.... getting all Racial up in here!!!!!!!!

He "made his point" I guess by getting a ref to wring him out in public? It was a physical game on both ends, and the fact UM shot only a couple of free throws themselves at least showed some consistency, if not necessarily good officiating, but the striped shirts.

That's a funny thread. A friend of mine got thrown out of Crisler by a ref. Security brought him back to talk to the ref at halftime. The other refs pleaded his case but the guy wouldn't hear it. Sorry, I don't remember who it was.

When I was a kid, the people next door had this little yappy poodle that I used to make fun of all the time. I thought it was real stupid-looking and annoying. But let me tell you, I didn't make fun of it after the time it saved my life. How did it save my life? It's a long story. Too long to tell here. But I can tell you it was full of excitement and danger, and afterwards I never made fun of that poodle again.
Well, I suppose I can at least try to tell the story. I'm still not sure I believe it myself, so many strange and fantastic things happened. Briefly what happened, though, is this: I was walking across a vacant lot near my house when I heard a noise. I turned. You know what? This story is just too hard to try to tell here. Just believe it when I say that the poodle came out of nowhere to attack a cobra.
Where did the cobra come from? Okay, I guess I can at least tell that part. No, I'm going to change my mind again. It's just too hard to explain--although if I did explain it, you would be glued to the edge of your seat.
Maybe someday I'll tell the story of the poodle and the cobra. No, I won't. It's a good one though.

Now I know what happened to Pickles my pet cobra.
February 27th, 2011 at 7:59 PM ^
Oh man, that ref got schooled!
February 27th, 2011 at 8:00 PM ^
liked to see the *ref* throw him out. As in, the guy in stripes physically lifting me and propelling with his hands and arms out of Crisler/the Barn.
February 27th, 2011 at 8:04 PM ^
I don't get it, I thought it was a fairly well officiated game.
February 27th, 2011 at 9:03 PM ^
How long have you been a sports fan? Didn't you know that unless you are a fan of one of the few teams capable of rationally accepting a ref's calls (M is only one sometimes, sadly), then a loss ALWAYS means the refs sucked?
February 27th, 2011 at 10:23 PM ^
and it got a little physical. There were some non-calls that probably should have been but it certainly went both ways. I recall one particular play late in the game where Mbakwe lowered his shoulder and bowled over Novak. Seemed to be a pretty obvious charge.... but no call.

I thought that was a room in a highway rest stop where perverts go for quick anonymous sex.

Isn't that a Badger Den? Gopher hole is the airport. Wasn't there a politician from Minny that got busted in the head at the airport trying to silicate some man on man lovin?

I once saw Jim Burr come over and threaten to kick out a kid in Maize Rage because he was giving him the evil monkey point+stare from family guy.

I love the respondent to that who was all "I would've stood up to that ref for you!" and then went on to say "I wish our players who are even dirtier were on the court"
If you want to have it both ways, with "fair" officiating on Michigan's fouls, but no fouls called on your own goons, you could at least try to provide some lame justification for your own hypocrisy.
