Panel was Justin Gaard, Ryan Fromanothersite, Grimm, Ray Hitchcock, and Tommy Olsen. Approximately 100 attending at 612 brewery. Tommy looks to have lost all of his football weight, brother Ed Jr lost 100#'s from his playing days.
"Opinions" were flowing: here are some of them (much paraphrasing)
-T Olsen: D-line will be ok, starters solid. Richardson will be All Big soon, one of the strongest guys on the team with Bobek, Epkes coming on, do not forget Alex Keith
-T Olsen: Nice to see Bobek settle in at center, has had an amazing run of bad luck health wise/lost a ton of weight, now getting healthy and showing why he was so highly recruited at Ohio State.
-Ryan: (was asked how serious the Demry Croft at #2 was) Ryan basically was saying what has also been discussed here. It's Mitch's job, and if he gets hurt for a one week stint/maybe 2, then Streveler comes in. Longer than that injury, its going to be Croft. "Future of Gopher QB situation looks very good." "much of it has to do with the attitude of Croft...no highs or lows....type of temperament J Kill loves." "Croft is clearly the most (physically) talented QB on the roster." (again paraphrasing)
-Gaard: Last year at TCU, the atmosphere on the sidelines was tough. Student section right behind the Gopher bench and it was brutal. Added to the overall atmosphere of intimidation. short field last year (from turnovers) was most damaging (re-enforcing what Kill has been preaching last few weeks about "no turnovers" being one of the keys to this game)
-Gaard: (was asked whether his station was going include more Gopher football discussion) said the station has discussed this and intends to bring more.
-Hitchcock: Believes the team is much more ready for TCU this year, can beat them straight up, with maybe an on side kick or something to make a difference at a key point.
-Goal Line Club has a basement of a bar (in Fort Collins) lined up for Friday night before the CSU game. Detail coming out from them after we beat TCU.
