Save the season in six simple steps!
Posted on 21. Feb, 2009 by JF.

Just showing up is just enough, Gophers beat South Dakota State

For real? Gophers riding high after beating Cavaliers
Posted on 04. Dec, 2008 by JF.
Obviously some time has passed since the Gophers won on Tuesday against the Virginia Cavaliers. Just as obvious is the fact that I haven’t yet written anything until now. My apologies. The game ended very late, and I decided to be selfish and sleep before writing anything. I was planning to write last night, but [...]
