per Randy:
One roommate sleeps in but swears he does all the cleaning.
Another is a video game aficionado with a soft-spoken, thoughtful manner.
A third has an independent streak and has earned the nickname “Mighty Mouse” from his roommates.
And the fourth is the ringleader, displaying the organizational skills and traits of a captain.
Together, the four roommates — Thomas Barber, Kamal Martin, Antoine Winfield Jr. and Carter Coughlin — have shared a Dinkytown apartment for the past two years and will continue to be roomies for the coming football season. And together, this quartet of third-year players is poised to form the heart and soul of the Gophers defense.
“It’s a brotherhood that cannot be broken” said Martin, a junior linebacker. “Blood couldn’t make us any closer.”
Added Barber, also a junior linebacker: “It’s probably been one of the greatest times of my life. They’re probably the best three roommates I’ll ever have.”
All four players will begin training camp in August with key roles on Minnesota’s defense. Barber led the Gophers with 115 tackles, including 10.5 for loss last year. Coughlin had a team-high 6.5 sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss. Martin started all 12 games, finishing with 42 tackles, including 6.5 for loss and two sacks. Winfield, a versatile defensive back who just might be the Gophers’ best defensive player, made 20 tackles in four games before missing the final eight because of a hamstring injury. He received a medical redshirt and will be a sophomore eligibility-wise this season.

(granted I don't blame him) Although I guess that proves it can't be broken!
