Some people on the message boards still think this was a mediocre year, but to me this was a big year - where the ship was righted and there are signs of big things to come.
Highlights include the big Antoine Winfield interception vs. Fresno St. securing the win, gutty victories over Indiana and Purdue when many people had given up on this team
but I am sure the victory over Wisconsin was the highlight for many including me. Watching that game with a couple buddies and thinking for most of the game that something bad would happen
and Wisconsin would pull it out like they always seem to do, then realizing we might have a real chance.....and then realizing Wisconsin had NO chance.
Singing at the top of our lungs to the tune of 'Oh my darling Clementine"
"Hail the Gophers Hail the Gophers
With your tails up in the air
University of Wisconsin
You can kiss what's under there."
I like the progress of many of the young Gophers, especially on the offensive line. Right now the offense looks like it will be very good next year and we are shaping up very good. It wasn't that long ago we couldn't even have quality Spring practices because we did not have enough quality offensive linemen, the scandal which decimated our defensive backfield and not a single quality QB on the roster. Looking forward to this year's recruiting class which looks like it will be a big haul in several key areas. I am more optimistic about the state of the Gopher football team than I have in some time!
