Gopher Football Visits Kindegarteners

University of Minnesota football players took a break from TCF and visited White Bear area kindergarteners through third-graders in the Lil Cubs Football Camp last week.

The Gophers spoke to the youths, helped with an obstacle course and played football keep-away.

Its nice to see some of the Gophers out in the community, projecting themselves as decent role models.

Brian Bobek Transfers to Minnesota

The Minnesota Gophers have a new football player and he seems to be a pretty solid prospect.


Brian Bobek of the Ohio State Buckeyes announced that he would be transferring to Minnesota. He was a four star recruit for the Buckeyes on the offensive line. 


"Minnesota was one of the first schools my family and I had contacted when I made the decision to transfer, and the coaches responded as soon as they got permission from Ohio State to contact me." 


Bobek will lose a year of eligibility because he staying in the same conference. 


The 6'2", 275-pound sophomore will join the Gophers in 2013. By that time, Minnesota should have a strong offensive line... for at least a few seasons!

TCF Bank Stadium Photos

I recently was assigned a task to go around Minneapolis, St. Paul and suburbs and take pictures of all of the gorgeous venues! I think there were 24 total venues I snapped photos of. We sure are lucky to live in Minnesota where sports, concerts and theater are extremely popular hobbies!

Check out my photos of TCF Bank Stadium!

Jerry Kill Instructs Gophers to be "Uncommon"


The first season for Jerry Kill at TCF Bank was full of ups and downs. The Gophers finished 3-9 and he had a health scare along the way.

Kill said recently that he feels more comfortable going into his second season with the Gophers. He is especially  happy and excited about this year's recruiting class.

Kill went on to say in a recent interview in St. Cloud that a common theme for the Gophers this year "is to be uncommon.

To be successful, you have to be different. If we want to win, we have to be uncommon."
