Gopher Football fans should feel happy and fortunate heading into this season...
Win or lose to TCU, I am thankful that Mr. Jerry Kill and his staff landed at Minnesota. When you consider the facilities at Minnesota and the situation Tim Brewster created, I don't think we could have gotten a better coach for the situation our football program was in. I don't think MN could have found a man who would have worked harder or done better to get all the things done at Minnesota, including the facilities project. I don't think Minnesota could have found a person that would care more about building a legacy at Minnesota than Jerry Kill. I don't think Minnesota could have found a coach willing to stay at Minnesota after finding success. We needed a program builder, a charismatic person who could change an entire culture (I'm talking beyond the football program, I'm talking the whole state), and we got fortunate to get that person after 40+ years of absence. Getting the stadium back on campus was HUGE! Getting a university president who gets it, is HUGE! Getting someone like Jerry Kill, was unique and fortunate.
So as we head into this season, be appreciative, enjoy it! It's a long season. Have confidence, have belief! Because I think you are going to see a team grow immensely as the season goes on. I think we are truly entering an era where we will be considered a perennial contender for the Big Ten West. Feel the excitement, believe it, keep the faith, and Ski U Mah! Gopher football hasn't been in this good of a position since the 1960's!
