OT: Uniformz! (Row the Boat Edition)
February 20th, 2018 at 2:17 PM ^
More gold paint for Gary and Winovich to chip off
February 20th, 2018 at 2:57 PM ^
Well that's nice of you to predict us and them to face off in the Big Ten Championship Game.
February 20th, 2018 at 7:28 PM ^
It's rainy out, good thing you got your fedora
February 20th, 2018 at 2:58 PM ^
Gophers ready to “Row The Boat,” will have oars on their helmets for the 2018 season. pic.twitter.com/XtTg8wvu3a

looks like a dung beetle
February 20th, 2018 at 7:55 PM ^
What's a dung bettle dung to you. That being said...gophers jerseys look like s*#t.
February 20th, 2018 at 9:44 PM ^
Then teams will have something to use once they've taken the GoGoGophers to the wood shed.
February 20th, 2018 at 3:01 PM ^
That would be quite the feat, considering our next H2H game is Oct 17, 2020
February 20th, 2018 at 2:17 PM ^
AS JIM MCELWAIN AS A WR COACH or something
February 20th, 2018 at 2:18 PM ^
the video is priceless
February 20th, 2018 at 2:19 PM ^
I've seen significantly worse uniforms on other teams including our own beloved Wolverines.
February 21st, 2018 at 1:51 PM ^
They have a boat oar on the helmet. I don't care if it's made of 24K solid gold. If your coach has a stupid slogan and you end up with an oar on your helmet, you deserve Bolivia.
February 20th, 2018 at 2:24 PM ^
Yes! Cool!
February 20th, 2018 at 2:27 PM ^
The chrome helmet is bad because you can barely read the M, and white isn't one of their colors.
They should stick with gold pants at home and gold or maroon pants on the road. That asphalt-gray color is fine for a business suit but looks terrible on a football uniform.
February 20th, 2018 at 2:30 PM ^
Ugly as hell
February 20th, 2018 at 2:30 PM ^
This row the boat thing is beyond annoying and stupid.
February 20th, 2018 at 2:31 PM ^
so I have a feeling they really don't care what opposing teams think
February 20th, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
They think it’s stupid too.
February 20th, 2018 at 8:42 PM ^
Is that what counter-strike guy tells you or is it gopher devotee???
February 20th, 2018 at 2:42 PM ^
It may be annoying and stupid that it gets blasted so widely by media megaphone, but the same has been said by our rivals about the attention Harbaugh gets for his lifestyle. Being logically consistent means separating the thing itself from the attention it receives.
And, it just so happens, that Row The Boat was born of something serious and reasonable that matters: it's a metaphor built out of the spiritual aftermath of his son dying. Even as an agnostic, I find that kind of grieving mechanism equanimous/wise and I think that sharing it to help make young men become better is courageous -- not to mention that it's probably effective.
February 20th, 2018 at 3:40 PM ^
come back and see me.
They put an Oar on their helmets! An oar!!! That their coach used in a slogan at a different school! Their coach! Used at a different school!!!
Sorry ..... that's just dumb.
February 20th, 2018 at 3:45 PM ^
Oh the uniforms are ass ugly. But that is not the conversation we were having, which is whether the motto must be stupid and annoying because the attention it receives is stupid and annoying.
February 20th, 2018 at 8:45 PM ^
Hey gopher, this is what I will do to your lawn!!!
/jk
February 20th, 2018 at 5:20 PM ^
onto our uniforms.
February 20th, 2018 at 2:33 PM ^
Unis and video.
February 20th, 2018 at 2:36 PM ^
They put an oar on the helmet and their new motto is about a wide category of aggressive sea creatures.
Aren't they the Gophers?
Let's put a big feather on our pants and replace "Go Blue" with "Soar like a Seagull."
WTF.
February 20th, 2018 at 4:48 PM ^
Fine with me if they want to go with this "Nekton Mentality" thing. They even have a shark illustration for it in their video. A shark.
For obvious reasons, the next time we play them, they're fucked.
February 20th, 2018 at 2:44 PM ^
Gopher purists cannot like this, either.
February 20th, 2018 at 6:06 PM ^
There are Gopher purists?
February 20th, 2018 at 9:35 PM ^
yes, they're known as hedgehogs
February 20th, 2018 at 2:44 PM ^
Anthropomorphic gophers rowing boats like Vikings. That's what comes to mind.
Dope.
February 20th, 2018 at 2:58 PM ^
Absolute gold.
Brian in the future:
"This team is as scary as: (insert triumphant Viking Gophers riding a warship to the tune of Immigrant Song)
February 20th, 2018 at 3:59 PM ^
you win the internet today!
February 21st, 2018 at 11:58 AM ^
of my day, wish I could upvote more than +1 due to the extended length of one of Zeppelin's best tunes, an all time classic. Fucking awesome GIF. Kudos
February 20th, 2018 at 2:45 PM ^
Look good, feel good.
Feel good, go 7-5.
February 20th, 2018 at 4:23 PM ^
which might be 8-5 if they get a bowl win. kind of like our record last year, so maybe we shouldn't throw stones.
February 20th, 2018 at 2:46 PM ^
Yo, we need fucking Migos on the recruiting trail. We recruited them first, now harbaugh gotta get Quavo and the boys out in ATL selling the M. PUT OFFSET AT WR COACH AT LEAST HE CAN 'CRUIT!!!
February 20th, 2018 at 2:48 PM ^
Butt ugly.....but they’ll look good in three year when he gets canned and moves on the Conference USA.
Talk about a guy full of himself
February 20th, 2018 at 2:49 PM ^
I was hoping for a highlighter maroon version
February 20th, 2018 at 2:50 PM ^
If you're a Cylon, this helmet is a nice upgrade actually...
February 20th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
Metallic gold is fine, and yellow is fine, but they look like shit next to each other.
February 20th, 2018 at 7:28 PM ^
Does Minnesota have a plan...?
February 21st, 2018 at 3:49 AM ^
Looks like Destro.
February 20th, 2018 at 2:54 PM ^
Are these units replacing the cartoon gopher helmets, because they shouldn't.
February 20th, 2018 at 2:54 PM ^
Still, Minnesota will NEVER live down The Tex Avery Experience!. Goddammit Goldy!!!
February 20th, 2018 at 2:55 PM ^
Minnesota has to do something cool and I think they did a pretty good job. I think they need to stick to their school colors though. Those grey unis just don’t do it for me.
