Royston to join Gophers
Posted on May 9th, 2008 – 8:35 AMBy Chip Scoggins
All indications are former Cretin-Derham Hall star and Wisconsin safety Kim Royston will commit to the Gophers football team later this afternoon after meeting with coach Tim Brewster.
Royston has been accepted to Minnesota and could start classes next month.
Royston will have to sit out the 2008 season and cannot receive a scholarship the rest of his career according to Big Ten transfer rules. Royston decided to leave Wisconsin earlier this spring.
Royston had scholarship offers from several schools but his first choice was to return home and play for the Gophers.
Royston will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.

Yiippppeeeeeeee…..another castaway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Another castaway!” Pretty harsh for a kid that earned significant PT on a good Badger squad. Royston & Carufel realize they made a mistake but not going to MN right off the get go. Its highly likely both will be solid contributors in 2009 and make for some good practice fodder this Fall.
It’s his dime. If he wants to give it a shot — more power to him.
No need to be sarcastic! Let’s hope all true Gophers fans wish him well. Welcome home Kim! 
I beleive it is castoff not castaway, that was Tom Hanks
If Mase got this kid, Recruiting would be so excited he would have a hard time sleeping at night.
recruiting, your phone is ringing, it is Wisconsin calling, yipppppeeeeeeee
Another stiff. When will be able to get all the studs in the state and not have them leave.
why would someone pay for college when he can get it free anywhere else i dont get it
Recruiting is a real sack of hammers….right Pantherhawk?
Significant playing time? This kid never played for the Badgers, he was a whiner and malcontent who eventually quit.
Good for him.. This was the guy that wanted to come back here but his coach didn’t want him too, right?
If the young man wants to play here as a walk on there is nothing but good in that situation. It is also a good message to the younger players both on the squad and still in high school.
maybe kimmie is going back to loserville to learn the fine art of nutpunching from your cheap little punk decker? good thing you play us last this year, because i hear he will be having some surgery after this year’s game.
Glad to have him back home. Welcome Kim.
Hey Wisconsinite, I’m glad that you condone intentionally attempting to injure another player. That’s some good sportsmanship right there. Your punk CB (who was getting beaten all day), threw the first blow. Decker got him back. That’s that.
I find it funny that you’re still hanging on to the memory of a game that Wisconsin apparently “wasn’t concerned about” last season. If you’re such a top-tier team, you’ll get over it.
The Gophers have a real shot at being a football power again. Royston returning home to play is another peice to the puzzle. I’m thrilled he is back.
Dave, our players won that game in their sleep, so you can wake up now. what Big 10 team gets up for playing a Div III squad? As i understand it, several of our players really hope to see brewsters kid on the field this year at The Camp. Since he ‘threw the first blow’ last year, i guess whatver happens to him = “thats that?”

yes, if you can’t get on the field for the badgers, tuck tail and head accross the river to the JUCO know as gooferville U.
Welcome home Mr. R and best of wishes. The walk-on players are the players I cheer for the very hardest! You display a REAL love for the game of football and realize that the reason you are going to college is first for the education and also for the chance to put your heart and soul into a game you love and a situation you believe in.
You show me a lot Mr. R!
I had the chance to work as a teaching assistant for one of Kim’s classes while he was here at the UW. He’s a smart kid who really deserves a shot to play. I have no idea why he didn’t get more playing time at Wisconsin. Our pass defense was non-existent last year and he should have seen the field more if only to try and send a message to our underachieving starters. Good luck Kim.
Royston did everything the Badger staff asked him to do. Not really fair to call him a malcontent. He wants to play, and just isn’t going to see that happen at UW.
I wish him good luck at UM.
Wisconsinite, way to carry yourself with class. Your attitude is an embarrassment to UW, if you have any connection to them at all.
Wisconsinite,
What a classless jerk you are. What don’t you cry a little more. Let the gophers build up there program a little bit more and they start kickin ass. Remember Wisconsin wasn’t a powerhouse until the last 10 years so don’t think that cannot happen here.
I’m tired of seeing some of the top MN players treat the UofM like a fallback school. If Brewster(and especially Tubby) wants to keep the state’s best players he should tell them all that if they go elsewhere and fail or get homesick they will NEVER be invited back. Not even as a walk on.
Gary17
Last time I checked we went 1-11 last year. It seems to me Brewster needs all the help he can muster. Would you shut the door to James Laurientes(sp) if he wanted to be a Gopher? Or John Carlson, Larry Fitz, Floyd, etc.
Gary … Brilliant strategy. You are like a guy who owns a hardware store on the east side of town who tells somebody never to come back and shop in your store if he ever buys anything on the west side of town.
Significant playing time? This kid never played for the Badgers, he was a whiner and malcontent who eventually quit.
Kind of odd that you are this fired up over a competitor taking in a malcontent and whiner. If what you say is true, shouldn’t you be happy that he’s no longer a Badger? Sounds like you are pretty sore about losing a good player. Makes me feel good as a Gopher fan, so keep commenting please.
Wisconsinite, I wasn’t telling you to get over the loss, I was telling you to get over the Decker thing. It’s sad that you’d like to see a player injured to the point of needing surgery and it says a lot about you as a person.
You Badgers are some sensitive folk. Can’t take a little trash talking? Especially from an “inferior” team? Really, if you guys are so much better than the rest of the Big 10, maybe you should start acting like you’ve been there before, instead of getting all bent out of shape about what Clint Brewster said.

There is hope for Badger fans afterall.
I’m aware the Gophers lost to the Badgers last year. That’s what my first sentence was trying to get across, albeit poorly.
badgerman27, I think you nailed it. I doubt Wisconsinite has anything to do with UW or the Badgers. Most likely a hater from the west side of the river. Welcome, Kim!
David, your comment is absurd. Crawl back under your rock.
Bayfield, Laurinaitis would be tough to say no to, you’re right about that. But I don’t think this Badger could carry his jock. Not too often potential NFL 1st round picks are going to transfer, here or anywhere. Stay off the fringe and look at the “normal” top MN kids. Many of the football and Basketball kids go elsewhere, mostly to WI. If they know right off the bat that the Gophers are nobody’s backup plan maybe they’d stay.
We won’t let a player walk on if he went to another school first? Why not? “Sorry, we don’t allow people to try”? Silly post, Gary17. Anyone who wants to try out is welcome provided they are legal.
Gary, Royston didn’t want play for Glen Mason. When Monson took kids back, they were players that initially told him no thanks. Big difference.
Brewster just took a scholarship offer off the table to a Minnesota player because he wanted to keep his options open and see if someone better came along. Sorry kid….Minnesota has moved on.
I’ll welcome any Minnesota kid back if they left because they didn’t want to play for Mason or Monson.
“Laurinaitis would be tough to say no to, you’re right about that.”
_____________
But under your brilliant strategy, Gary, you would say no to Laurinaitis and to Michael Floyd. Gosh, you are a real smart fellow. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!
Go back and look at your first post, genius. You said NEVER and that means Laurinaitis and Floyd.

JUST TELLING YOU WHAT SOME OF THE PLAYERS ARE SAYING. THEY ARE VERY UPSET ABOUT ALL THE CHEAPSHOTS LAST YEAR ON THE FIELD AND FROM BREWSTER IN THE PAPER AND HIS LITTLE MUTT KID AFTER THE GAME. LOOK FOR A BLOOD BATH IN MADTOWN THIS NOVEMBER. ALSO, I KNOW A LOT OF YOUR FANS LIKE TO CRY ABOUT HOW THEY GET TREATED IN MADISON. IF THIS IS YOU, THIS IS DEFINITELY THE YEAR TO KEEP YOUR FAT ASS OVER IN MN.

Loon, My post wasn’t silly. What is silly is the U coaches opening their arms to MN kids that turned their noses up at the Gophers in the first place. Sounds like a lot of you have some self confidence issues and are fine with the Gophers being resigned to second(third,fourth,11th?)fiddle in the Big Ten. I guess I’d rather have a freshmen kid come in that wants to be a Gopher than some loser castoff that’s only here now because he couldn’t hack it elsewhere.
You suck, Wisconsinite.
Wisconcinite why don’t you show some class. Give the gopher a couple years then let’s see what happens.
Sconi, you seem really worked up over loosing Royston. You’re going to pop a vein. Either that, or your CAPS button is on.

Sconi,
Obviously you don’t get sarcasm, nor spelling for that matter. BTW, your writing in all CAPS is annoying.
Doesn’t this thing have a moderator? Get Wisconsonite off of here.

Bud, is that you? Please don’t tell me there is another guy here that dumb too.
We have plenty of freshmen coming in. About 23 of them this fall. Royston is not going to be on scholarship. That means, Mr. Einstein, he is not taking one away from a freshman or anyone else.
Kim Royston was good enough in high school that the gutless whisky becky badger wanted him. But any decent kid from a good family will no after two years he does not want to play for a punk thug criminal coach like the little baboon Bielema.
What is silly is the U coaches opening their arms to MN kids that turned their noses up at the Gophers in the first place.
======================
You’re an idiot. They didn’t turn their noses up at the Gophers. They turned their noses up against the previous coaching staff.
Brewster has already set the precedent with the Rock kid….when you’re offered a scholarship, you either take it or take a hike.

PRETTY FUNNY, BREWSTER HAS TO BE THE ONLY 1-11 POWER BROKER IN AMERICA.
Is the little punk thug criminal baboon Bielema going to maintain the same strict standards for players this year as last year? He punished the guys who committed armed robbery by not letting them go on road games.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
2009 will be when the Gophs make their move in the BIG 10!!!!!
Brewster IS a power broker. He landed the 17th best class in America at a dead program. The pathetic little criminal thug Bielema can only get the 60th best class after inheriting a top 10 in the nation team from Alvarez.
Can anyone explain why a gentleman and top football coach like Barry would name a little criminal baboon to replace him? Makes not a lick of sense.

Hidalgo, how do you know why he didn’t play for the gophers? Are you close personal friends with him or something? Are you his Mom? What is it? You either want to be a Gopher or not. If he was good enough to play for the Badgers he wouldn’t be crawling back to Brewster’s mess just because there’s a new coach here. Get your head out moron.
Coe, what does scholarship have to do with it. I don’t care if he has one or not. He shouldn’t be taking up a locker, a jersey number, or roster spot for someone else that wanted to be a Gopher all along. You want to go to WI or wherever after high school? Fine, go, but don’t come crawling back to the Gophs when you piss your pants. We don’t need kids like that. I want the ones that bleed maroon and gold, not turncoats and quitters. Make too much sense for you brainiac?

Taking guys back who haved failed elsewhere is not good policy and seldom works. Name one guy who has made it out of 100??????? I think kim would be happier at St Johns.
whisky baboon … Nobody ignored anything. They were kicked off the team even though only one was charged with a crime.
The ignorant thug and baboon Bielema only plays his armed robbers at home. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!
Gary … Now I know for sure you are Bud. What a moron.
Gary17, both players knew just where they stood after two years at the schools they attended. They were not going to be starters and wanted playing time. Given our terrible season last year they must have felt that MN would be a good place to land. It is that simple. Royston will have to pay his own way and Carufel will go on scholarship next fall if he meets his progress towards degree marks. If they are good enough to start then we have two good players. If they don’t then we have more depth. Not worth getting your panties in a bunch.
Gold4, you don’t want to give up the 4 BT wins for next year?
Jimbo, would love to match bottom lines with you. Derek, if the shoe fits wear it.
Gold4, still can’t let the Mason thing go.
Bud/Gary … Sure hope mommy didn’t spend a lot on detective school for you.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone ever destroyed a top ten football team any faster than this little criminal simian Bielema?
YOU MEAN LIKE IGNORING GANG RAPES BY PLAYERS UNTIL THE CELL PHONE COMES BACK FROM THE LAB?
=======================
The second they were arrested was the last time they were members of the Gopher football team. How is that ignoring? Three of the four were NEVER CHARGED and still aren’t on the team.
Maybe Brew should’ve just followed the precedent set by Wisconsin….suspend them for games on the third Saturday of each month.
Brewster must be a powerbroker….since the end of last season he has signed two of the top five Minnesota prospects from the class of 2006. This isn’t Glen Mason recruiting.
Shoes … The only reason the little thug baboon Bielema doesn’t let his armed robbers go to away games is because it’s hard to get through airports with guns.
What armed robbery are you talking about? You need to get your facts checked before posting such nonsense.
Didn’t the guy use his girlfriend as a punching bag and steal her shoes?
The report was that he pushed her down, and took $20 from her because she wouldn’t split cab fare with him. I think the taking her shoes thing was to keep her from leaving.
Stupid thing to do all together, but he’s served his punishment.
Yes, pushing girls down is “stupid”.
Bud,
Gophers will win four Big Ten games this year. The non-confence I don’t care about, because Wren said, “Big Ten wins are the only wins that matters.” I’ll take 4 this year and 6 next year.
Bud,
Make sure that you put my prediction of 4 Big Ten wins this year and 6 wins in 2009 in a sealed envelope and lock it away in a safe. I don’t care about the non-conference because as Wren says those games do not matter.
The comment about saving my prediction of 4 Big Ten wins this year, obviously is your attempt to say when it doesn’t happen I’ll remind you. Go ahead. I have never been afraid to set the standard.
When Mase was coach, the Masonites (Loon, Wren and company) were too AFRAID to have expectations or set any kind of standard. It was a philosophy of one game at a time. If Mase somehow won 6 games he deserved a tinker tape parade. I came in and said we need to have a higher standard. I set the bar.
Lock my predictions away in a safe, I do not care. I have NEVER been afraid to have expectations for a coach. So remember 4 and 6. I don’t care what happens in the non-confence games (win or lose), because as Wren says only Big Ten wins matter.

“I KNOW A LOT OF YOUR FANS LIKE TO CRY ABOUT HOW THEY GET TREATED IN MADISON. IF THIS IS YOU, THIS IS DEFINITELY THE YEAR TO KEEP YOUR FAT ASS OVER IN MN.”
I’ve watched the Gophers play at Camp Randall many times, and I’ve never had a problem with Wisconsin fans. Most true college football fans realize, that regardless of the team that you’re cheering on that day, that it’s just a game and no more. Sure, many of the college kids have fun with the border rivalry, but it’s never an issue in Madison unless you make it an issue. I’ll be there again come November.
The filthy crude pornographer is just hurting so bad because Brewster was the best recruiter in the Big Ten this year.
Brewster and Zook are in a class alone as recruiters and Brewster edged Zook out.
The only two schools with better 2007 classes were Michigan and Ohio State. That is not recruiting, that is just being there to choose the top talent from among all the guys who want to play there. Tressel could not recruit a girls soccer team to come to Minnesota.
I wonder why, if Kim Royston has no ability, the little criminal baboon squielema refused to give him a release to return to his home state university?

Does anybody remember how many times the criminal Bielema had to change his pants that second half?
I have signed Wisconsinite up for a free assessment in the dept., I know some psych dept. people at UW that would like a “look” as well- all free and in the sprirt of clean border battle - seems to have some clear and not so clear issues.
UW vs. U MN is a classic even when one or the other is down. Don’t lose the spirit.
UMPsych Dept … Do your people have any time to do a clinic study of the animal pornographer Cruding? Could glean some interesting data, right?
And how about the inner workings of the tiny minds of Wrenbawls, Lou Neetick, and BudGary? Guys claiming to be Gopher fans but working 24 hours a day to backstab the team and program.
Bielema running across the field to meet Brewster was meant to be a direct slap in Brewster’s face for his statement of “When we win, I’ll be the first one to reach that axe”, or something similar to that.
It wasn’t in celebration, it was meant to be an insult.
badgerman … You are exactly correct. Bielema is a cheap little thug with no class or manners. That is the reason decent kids won’t play for him.
Brewster made his comments to U of M students at a frat pep rally, not to the media. That is the kind of thing you say to the student body to try to revive interest in a dormant program. For the baboon Bielema to take that comment as some kind of insult was insane.
But for Bielema to sprint across the field to get in Brewster’s face in front of 50,000 people and a TV audience was bush league and will never be forgotten or forgiven. He is a disgrace to the University of Wisconsin and to college football.

Like you know shit from shine you boring little internet shut-in!
It sound to me that both coaches were pretty much “low rent” about the whole deal. Coaches should be dignified, provide public respect for their opponent and be real gentlemen. They should provide excellent examples of good sportsmanship.
It sounds to me as though both coaches should hang their heads in shame over that display. Poor form on both of their parts.
d_a_c aka jimbo aka pantherhawk: Your trash talking over recruiting rankins is incredibly pathetic and is most certainly material that will most likely come back at you in oh, so many ways on Game Day Saturdays during the Big Ten season. As long as the coach at Ohio State keeps winning the Big Ten championship you look incredibly boorish for knocking anything about him. You see, the thing is that he recruits to OSU.
At Minnesotaz we have a totally inexperienced dude acting as the gm/recruiter. He NEEDS lots of Big Ten wins on Game Day Saturday in 2008 and he will need even MORE Big Ten wins in 2009 to have a chance to continue to coach at the University of Minnesota.
Recruiting ranking trash-talking is for losers…
Wrenblahhblah … You do not recurit at Ohio State. You select.
Glen Mason would be playing for national championships at Ohio State if he had been chosen over Tressel. Neither one is a recruiter and neither one is an exceptional coach.
Talent falls in your lap at Ohio State. It does not at a dead program like Minnesota. Tressel could not rebuild Minnesota. Brewster can.
Cruding … You are a piece of garbage. You have no value on this board or anywhere else. You have nothing to say here except to trash the Gophers. That makes you, like Wren, Loon, and Bud, useless rubbish.
Good luck to the Yellow Rodents this fall. I suspect that Punky can lead the team to at least one more win in 2008.

Actually…..
Kim was a two year letter winner, starting last season in the nickle packages. Had three full ride offers within two days of his “limited” releases to 13 NCAA schools. Great relationship with Mason, but you could see he would not be around 4 years. Kim was named starter after spring ball in 2007 and again after the Penn St. game. Bret changed his mind on both occasions stating “coaches” decision? Kim played every position in the secondary during game situations. Why did he leave? Players don’t walk away from full rides if everything is okay. Coaches don’t discourage useless players from giving up scholarships if they suck. And players don’t choose to walk-on, when they have other options if they don’t LOVE the school they choose to transfer too. For those of you who have issues with Kim going to Wisc. in the first place, be angry with me. I told him to take the most stable situation at the time, I was very wrong and I will spend the next 3 years paying for it (ouch). Much love to Wisconsin but MN is home, and we’re going to be needing that Ax back!
Kim is most welcome here. Thank you for your kind comments.
Thank you, Chris. Welcome home, Kim!
So Kim Royston lettered two years and had a significant role in the Wisconsin secondary. That likely means he will be a contributor in the Gopher defense in 2009 and 2010.
When will all the Gopher haters posting here step forward like real men and apologize for lying about Royston and his playing time in Wisconsin?
The truth is, he is a decent kid from a nice family. He could never be comfortable playing for a classless thug simian like Bielema.
Kim Royston is home now, and he will be playing for a great coaching staff and for his home state. That’s great.
Actually…..
Kim was a two year letter winner, starting last season in the nickle packages.
SURE DADDy DOUCHEBAG, ANY BENWARMER CAN LETTER ON SPECIAL TEAMS. YOUR KID IS A QUITTER!
COE, YOU ARE A GUTLESS INTERNET DOUCHEBAG. YOU WOULD PISS YOUR PANTS IF YOU CAME FACE TO FACE WITH BRET.
YOU, out of the gene pool!
whisky moron pornographer … How could I come face to face with the stupid baboon Bielema without getting down on all fours?
He’s a baboon and you are something slithering. Hard to meet either of you face to face.

ROTFLMAO!!!! What a stupid buffoon. What is a “benwarmer”? LOL. SF idiot.
Do you know anything about football, clown? The nickel defense has nothing to do with special teams. You are easily the dumbest pornographer ever to post.
Chris, good job, it takes alot of guts to come on here with all the idiots, and use your name. Congratulations, and best of luck to Kim. Sometimes it takes being at the right place at the right time with the right breaks. We will have to wait and see if Bellima knows talent and how to use it when all of Barrys boys are gone. Good luck.

The situation at whisky is hopeless. Bielema is one of the lousiest coaches in the country and an even worse human being. He is a moron and a simian.
Decent kids do not want to play for this thug baboon and he can’t recruit worth a lick. Becky is going downhill.
“Tray Herndon has asked for his release and will transfer.”
Looks like your girlfriend lost another player after the lies added up, DAC-off!
What about all the MN kids still on the WI roster, DAC-off?? Why is BB a moron? He has a job and a college degree of which you have neither…..guess that makes you lower than a “moron and a simian!”
Cruding … Take your pornographic filth somewhere else.
Cruding asks stupidly,
“Why is BB a moron?”

Duhhh!!!!!!! Because he sounds and acts like you, dimwit.
“Tray Herndon has asked for his release and will transfer.”
Recruiting where did you get your source that Tray is transfering or is it a rumor that you heard?
Football players at RapeU. at it again!

Real nice place you are letting your son enter, Mrs. Royston. Most weeks punky’s crew commits more assaults than wins in an entire season!!! LMAO!!
Or maybe he has a phobia to large stadiums so that little mini-playfield they are building is just the ticket?! LMAO!
Good job of posting another irrelevant ink, Pantherhogbreath. I continue to be impressed with that fine UI education you obtained.
How was your weekend with Mrs. Pantherhogbreath? I hear she cut you off because you smell too bad.
Chris R—thanks for the insight and I am sorry you have to read all this garbage about your son. I wish him well as a U of M Gopher.
Any other kids thinking of transferring back to their home state? It sounds like he wasn’t happy — but, why would he be happier here? I think it is doubtful that KR will be a starter here, given that the 09 recruiting class looks like it is off to a very good start and the 08 class was one of the deepest in years. If KR was on the two deep at Whisky, then he will bolster a thinner Gopher squad and we need depth to win games. Whatever his reason, welcome back to Minnesota.
Final … We need both experience and depth in our secondary. That gives the younger players time to develop.
It’s too bad Royston can’t play this year but starting in 2009 he will add good experience.

I’m sure he will be a Heisman candidate in ‘09…..along with Carufel…..
Moron … Good football teams are not filled with Heisman candidates. They are filled with solid, experienced players and a lot of depth.
What would you know about a Heisman candidate? You are too stupid to breathe on your own.

Pay Rivals area [GI] and GH where no one is ever wrong.
What happened to “major impact?”:
Aug. 29–Only one true freshman was among the starters listed Tuesday, but coach Tim Brewster hasn’t backed off his idea that freshmen will have a major impact with the University of Minnesota this season.
The Gophers released their two-deep depth chart for Saturday night’s season opener against Bowling Green, with wide receiver Tray Herndon the only true freshman in a starting spot.
A few freshmen besides Herndon should see signficant time. Safety Curtis Thomas

Thomas???? Another “answer” who Punky was soooo excited about?? What a guy! What an idiot!
Hey, Crudeboy/Pantherhogbreath, you need to try and finish a thought. Or did your latest expeimental drug kick in right at that time?

Not to worry T-gopher, I find the insults very funny. I suppose I would be upset if I had ANY doubt as to his abilities as a football player or who we are as a family. I trash him myself just for the fun it (also I’m quite jealous because he has a plethera of gorgeous young ladies following him around and a 30″ waist!)
So in the spirit of mindless insults please allow me to add some.
Kim? You’re pretty ugly for a girl.
When you (Kim) take the field, Brewster is gonna say “what the hell” and cut you from the squad on the spot!
After your (Kim) first practice Brewster is gonna call the NCAA and accuse Bielema of trying to sabotage his squad.
Kim has a good chance of starting on the practice squad this year.
For Kim’s first meeting with the staff I was gonna get my 5′5 230lb nephew to pose as Kim.
Kim has a good chance of starting on the practice squad this year.

Wow - thanks Mr.Royston, that’s the funniest post I’ve seen in a while! Guess elite athletes must have to develop very thick skins. In any case best of luck to your son, hope he enjoys the U.
“Elite?”
FUNNY HOW WISCONSINITE SPENDS SO MUCH TIME ON A BLOG DEDICATED TO GOPHER NATION. PERHAPS INSTEAD OF A GERBIL IN YOUR POCKET, YOU BE PLAYING WITH A PET GOPHER. ITS NEVER TO LATE TO JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON SO WE CAN PUSH YOUR LITE ASS OFF. AND MARK MY WORDS…PAUL BUNYANS AXE WILL BE BACK IN 08…WHICH BRINGS ANOTHER POINT…THE TROPHY BETWEEN BOTH SCHOOLS IS NAMED AFTER A MINNESOTA LEGEND…CAN YOU IMAGINE PLAYING FOR THE CHEESE GRADER OR CHEESE SLICER? OR HOW BOUT THE LEINES RAT PISS BOTTLE OPENER? WELCOME TO TOUGH GUY TOWN MS. WISCONSINITE, I CRAP BIGGER THAN YOU…THOUGH YOU DO PROVE THAT THOSE THAT SUFFERED FROM FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME CAN STILL LIVE SEMI PRODUCTIVE LIFES.
My brother is a Badger fan living in Madison and I am a Gopher fan from the Twin Cities. I have been harassed while minding my own business in Madison and my brother has even been apalled. That’s what happens when 120,000 people converge on downtown madison on game day and get tanked by 10 am. And to think this was a school getting 23000 fans a game in the early 1980s and a football joke…. Times have changed and Badger fans have become a rude mob!

I KNOW A LOT OF YOUR FANS LIKE TO CRY ABOUT HOW THEY GET TREATED IN MADISON. IF THIS IS YOU, THIS IS DEFINITELY THE YEAR TO KEEP YOUR FAT ASS OVER IN MN.

Id write more but I have already wasted more time on you than you deserve
I hope someday you wake up and see yourself as others do
I think that the fans from other schools that come on here and badmouth the Gopher program are very low class and look very stupid at the same time.
I am really pulling for Kim Royston to do very well here. You just don’t see too many kids leave a scholarship and transfer to a team in the same conference and pay their own way. Make no mistake about it, Badger fans will take this as a huge slap in the face and it sends a very strong message that “These times, they are a ‘changin.”
