blackout at the barn

for christmas this year

we decided it would be fun to get ben tickets to a gopher game

because we clearly don't have enough basketball in our lives already

after doing a little searching i found that the ohio state game was being called

blackout at the barn night -

and the gophers would be introducing their new all black uniforms

we got the tickets

got ben the official 'blackout at the barn' shirt

and waited ANXIOUSLY for tonight to finally come!!

we ended up really happy with where our seats were

everyone seemed to follow directions really well

and a good majority of the fans showed up in black

including the team

and the students

it was fun to look around and see all black

it ended up being a SUPER fun game to be at

minnesota ended up losing in overtime

BUT

we got bonus basketball ...

AND ...

the double bonus came when we found out that school got cancelled for the next day

because of the low windchill!!

good thing since we didn't get out of there til almost 11pm!

the -30 windchill didn't stop us -

we finished off our night with a mcflurry on the way home

thanks for the fun night, ben!
