Minnesota Football: The Monday Perspective likes having control

First of all, do you remember when we were excited about getting bowl eligible? That really was a thing for a while around here. Even though this program has really been making bowl games on a regular basis for quite some time, often those seasons were 6 or 7 win seasons and we were sweating out bowl eligibility.

Now? Now making a bowl is no noteworthy. I think that would partly be the result of Jerry Kill and Tracey Claeys having a run of 8 or 9 win seasons that began to build a foundation for this Gopher program.
