In other words, who represents the worst of the Football Program!

Mt. Rushmore Backsides for the Gophers:
Tim Brewster
Mega Tongue
Paul Giel - For his less than stellar work as an AD
Pat Reusse

There are tons of folks who could be listed here but this is where I will start it off. I'm fairly confident at least 2 of these guys will stay put in the end. (see what I did there?)
 

If inanimate objects are allowed, I would have the metrodome be front and center.
 


Malcolm Moos- UofM president in early 70's. His admin. de-emphasized football and sent the program on a decades long tailspin.

Smoky Joe Salem- just an awful coach who left the program in disarray.

Agree with Paul Giel
 

Fun Fact, the behind the heads on Mount Rushmore is the Hall of Records. It was intended to be an ornate vault where some of Americas most important pieces of history were preserved, like the Declaration of Independence.

But that never happened, so instead it's a big cave that is used to store fireworks. About 15 years ago, my cousin was working a Park Ranger there and brought me and my brother up top. I have a picture somewhere of me sitting on top of Washington's head.

I don't think Brewster or Reusse belong there. Reusse isn't part of the football program. Brewster wasn't great, but Wacker was way worse. As much as people love to hate on Brewster, he did make it to 2 bowl games.

Ummm, everybody knows that Cíbola, the Native American city of gold, is inside Mount Rushmore.

Close, but not quite. Anyone familiar with the Black Hills knows that there is no lake behind Mt. Rushmore. And to surrender your hand to the heart of the warrior you have to be on a large rock outcropping on Sylvan Lake which is quite a hike from Mount Rushmore to the south. Alas, when you stick your hand in the hole there is no ancient switch to pull and reveal the entrance to Cibola.

Cibola and the markings on the wood looked a lot like Incan markings. So just what in God's name were they doing in South Dakota anyway? No wonder those Spanish explorers never found anything!
