Cobb on experience at the U: "I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.”

[BleedGopher]

per the Daily:

When head coach Jerry Kill arrived on campus four years ago, he didn’t have much time to put together his first recruiting class as a Big Ten head coach.

Kill kept the players who had already accepted scholarships from former head coach Tim Brewster, and he tried his best to add those who still hadn’t decided which school to play at.

Fast-forward four years, and that patchwork recruiting class has catapulted the Gophers into the national spotlight. Now, the team is preparing for its final game at TCF Bank Stadium.

“[The seniors have] gone through a whole lot. I mean a whole lot,” Kill said. “They helped us change the culture, and they had to accept what we were trying to do, which I’m sure ... wasn’t easy.”

Before Saturday’s showdown with No. 8 Ohio State, the Gophers will honor their 23 seniors, including running back David Cobb.

“I was just talking to my cousin, [senior linebacker Damien Wilson], and we were like, ‘Man, it came so fast,’” Cobb said. “It came fast, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.”

Not to be a teary-eyed female, but this is going to be a tough Senior day. I'm really going to miss this class. I wish them nothing but the best for their futures. THANK YOU!

Go Gophers!!

I'm saving a couple vacation days for Indianapolis and the Big 10 championship game just in case, perposterous I know at least the media and Star Tribune posters tell you no chance. To actually believe the Gophers can run the gauntlet and beat Ohio State, Nebraska, and Wisconsin is a bit audacious, but why not DREAM BIG? Saturday is going to be tough to see them play in TCF one last time but it really feels like the Gophers can pull the upset especially led by this band of brothers.
These guy's I think can reach for the brass ring and pull it off, win out and be in INDY. They, the current coaches, players, have been passed over, dismissed even told they were not good enough by more than one person, yet they keep on winning, achieving above and beyond when they are told they CAN'T. All coach Kill has ever done is beat the odds, achieve and win everywhere he has been.
We Gopher fans have been told our entire lives that big things, like a Big 10 Championship, cannot happen to the Gophers, "Same Ole Gophers" illinois, blah blah blah and all of that crap, Kinnick North, Camp Randall West, Gophers are 7-47 against the Buckeyes. I believe these guys think they can win and that is half the battle.

Guy's like David Cobb(Could have picked TCU, Tech, Iowa and gone other places) , Damien Wilson(small town Mississippi guy) , Cederic Thompson(came from a small town in CA or almost parts unknown), Cameron Botticelli (Nobody offered him a scholarship he started as a walk-on from Wisconsin), Tommy Olson(Dad and brother were Gophers and plays hard) Michael Amaefula and Ben Perry (two Texas guys that play hard on the defensive line when they get in there) even a Harold Legaina or Conner Cosgrove that do well in school and contrbute to the team GPA and APR, these guys have been through a lot with the change and yet Minnesota is not turning back to the wilderness and the wasteland that was just four short years ago. The Buckeyes may think they are going to have it easy Saturday and so does there Columbus media, they are going to be in for a rude awakening come Saturday. Same for the Huskers and Badgers in the coming weeks, they are not going to see what hit them when it is all said and done. See you in Indy guy's, I have faith in the guy's coach Kill and Claeys and the brothers that we will be there in a few short weeks.

Love Cobb and his attitude...he will be greatly missed. He is in my Top 5 all-time Gophers and still climbing the charts.

Discipline outdoes talent. Mr. Cobb has more discipline than talent (and he started with good talent). Keep it up Mr. Cobb. You will go far.
