LGHL had some questions about Minnesota. Thankfully, The Daily Gopher had answers.
Minnesota is in a bad place right now. First Jerry Kill was forced into retirement due to continuing health concerns. That's a tough road to hoe, considering how much Coach Kill did in his short term in Minneapolis. The overwhelming thought was that he had the Gophers headed in the "right direction" with regard to the future, and was already primed to bring in a very talented recruiting class. Not to mention the fact that the team on the field, while underwhelming this year, was far from an easy out for any competition in the Big Ten.
