Board Position: Game Day

What's your favorite hangout on campus?
-What's your favorite hangout on campus? Rhapson Hall Courtyard for studying. The Knoll for anything else

What's your favorite place on campus?
-The mall area

Who is your favorite current Gopher? Why?
-Lawrence Westbrook! because he has a silky smooth stroke, and still gets down low to get rebounds from the guard spot.

Who is your favorite former Gopher? Why?
-After reading some info on some former gophers my favorite player has to be Mychal Thompson. Growing up as a soccer player and turning into a basketball player because he was tall? This guy is the definition of athletic. Plus he has the most points in school history!

Which Big Ten opponent do you most like watching us beat?
-WISCONSIN! There’s no doubt that the border battle is by far the most important for me. I’m from Wisconsin but I never really was a serious fan. When I came here my hatred of Badger sports skyrocketed!

Who is your favorite opposing coach in the Big Ten?
-I guess I don’t really have a favorite opposing coach. I just want to see them sad after they lose to us.

Who is your least favorite coach in the Big Ten?
-Bruce Weber is really annoying. Bo Ryan is probably my least favorite though because he’s a Badger.

Who do you think is going to win the national title?
-As an early pick I think it’s tough to go against North Carolina, but I’m going to put Georgetown up there because they have Roy Hibbert.

What are you most looking forward to this season in the Barnyard?
-Getting the Barn back together. Last year was obviously a tough one, but I feel the love already for the team and it can only grow with Tubby Smith on our side.

What is your favorite Gopher sports memory?
-For basketball it’s probably keeping it close with the Badgers last year at home all the way to the end of the game because they were so good. Overall though I think it was the atmosphere at the Minnesota/Oklahoma State wrestling match that we ended up winning. The crowd was nuts!

Please rank the following in order of necessity: food, clothing, Gopher basketball (1 = highest priority)
Gopher Basketball, Food, and who needs clothes anyway? I put gopher basketball up first also because of that free pizza at every home game!
