per Jason:
Yes, the losses to Iowa and Wisconsin sting, but as we are quickly finding out 2019 has been a special year in sports for Minnesota fans.
The Twins, Minnesota United, Saints, Gophers softball, Whitecaps and more rose to the peak of their respective league/sports to give the Minnesota sports fan hope for what is possible in the future.
No doubt the Gophers, which started the season 9-0 and climbed the national rankings to heights not seen in a century, will play in a notable bowl game on New Year’s Day, or around that time.
Fleck has given the lone NCAA Division I football program in the state a new direction for what is possible and I can only hope he stays around long enough to see that plan come to fruition with even more athletes from Minnesota and perhaps even beyond the border competing on a consistent basis.

Column: Fleck has the Maroon and Gold moving on up
Growing up in the late 1980s and 90s, my memories of Gophers football begin with the Lou Holtz era and a cassette tape of some songs he produced with WCCO
Go Gophers!!
