Leading online home for die-hard Gopher fans since 1996.
Gopher Football Like the rest of the defensive positions on the field for Minnesota, the Gopher Linebackers return a significant percentage of the personnel from last year. The only real big loss is Ben West, but Minnesota appears as though they’re ready to replace him and not miss a beat. Led by undersized but overachieving […] READ MORE
Gopher Football The 2004 Gopher secondary should be in about as good of shape as it has been in at least a few years. There may not be many ‘stars’ in this unit yet, but what it does have is good combination of balance and experience. Ukee Dozier and Trumaine Banks both return and will […] READ MORE
Gopher Football Minnesota enters 2004 with virtually no experience returning in their quarterbacks. This is quite a change from last year, when the Gophers had the comfort of two fifth-year seniors to rely on. Coming into the spring there were many questions surrounding the QB position as a whole. Thankfully for Gopher fans, there appear […] READ MORE
Gopher Football Well, another legislative season has come and gone in St. Paul and once again the stadium issues for the three main tenants of the Metrodome were not addressed.

Gopher Football I thought it would be a good idea to look back at the ’99 football season, one which provided twice as many ups than downs. Without a doubt this season was the best in three decades and put Glen Mason’s rebuilding effort in high gear and ahead of schedule. The season began with […] READ MORE
