I like having the gophs as a rival, going all the way back to hating on Bill Butters in the old barn.
That's not to say you can't go out on your deck and tell by the smell that they're in town.
One of the things I like to look at this time of year is their ability to handle adversity. It's early, and there are some encouraging signs, but it looks like this fanbase has some room to improve.
