Many on here have lamented the "lost generation" of the 80's and 90's where kids grew up where Gopher Football was a complete non-factor, and how that was a major force behind modern lack of fan interest.
I'm happy to report that things might be changing. Last night after my son's first baseball practice (first grade), the coach asked the kids what they wanted their team name to be. Immediately 5 or 6 kids (out of 10) screamed GOPHERS! At the very least some anecdotal evidence that recent success is having an impact on our youth.
