Gophers Mt Rushmore

[NoelarBear]

Happy Fourth of July, Gopher fans!


If you could carve a Minnesota Gophers Mount Rushmore, who are your four athletes?


Bronko Nagurski
️ Dave Winfield
John Mayasich
Lindsay Whalen


Who’s on yours? #SkiUMah

 

[GoldRush]

That's a great list. Just to make a different one: Molitor, Broten, Bell, McHale

 

[BleedGopher]

Hard to argue those four legends. Lots of nominees, but when pressed for 4, I think you nailed it.

Go Gophers!!

 

[gophmeister]

I think Trump has an opinion.

 

[Arminius]

Fascinating - sort of - that our Heisman does not make either list. Bronko is the right pick though. Winfield and Whalen are both solids. I don't know enough about men's hockey to make that call.

 

[FireDaveLee]

I don't know enough about men's hockey to make that call.

I think they only others you could make an argument for would be John Mariucci & Herb Brooks.

I think Mayasich is the correct call....

 

[Gopherchase]

It’s probably not a rational take, but I’m not particularly rational on my takes in general anyway but MB3 for me is one of the guys.

Had been thinking about all time football for this. I'd say for football there could be two.
Classic:

• Bronko Nagurski
• Bobby Bell
• Bruce Smith
• Sandy Stephens

Modern

• Greg Eslinger
• Antoine Winfield Jr.
• Mohamed Ibrahim
• Tyler Johnson

Probably could be plenty of debate for the modern era. Darrell Thompson, Tyrone Carter, Tyler Nubin, Rashod Bateman, Eric Decker and Laurence Maroney could all be in the running there.

if we were to go with all time Gophers coaches across all sports, I'd say

• Bernie Bierman, 5 football national titles
• Dick Siebert, 3 baseball national titles
• Herb Brooks, 3 hockey national titles
• L.J. Cooke, 2 basketball national titles
