Gopher The Roses

National Signing Day and ‘Sota Social

This is a big day for college football programs across the land and here at Minnesota it is no different. There have been a lot of rumors flying around about who is signing, who may not, who we wish would, and who decommits for and against us.

   

So much that I am not going to speculate at all here. Instead I give you this link to GopherIllustrated.com, a Rivals.com web site. It is well worth the paid subscription. Zach and Matt have done a great job keeping die-hard fans in the loop on the recruiting efforts of Coach Brewster and the staff.

   

I have sent Zach an invitation to do a regular post here on Gopher The Roses.

   

Yes I will be attending the ‘Sota Social sponsored by the Goal Line Club at the McNamara Alumni Center this evening. Click Goal Line Club Event Page for more information. The event is open to the public.

   

This is a big day for the Gopher football program and it looks the like work of Coach Brewster, his staff, and the players who were hosts is paying off.

A Big Update Is Coming To Gopher The Roses

I apologize for starting a blog and then being away for three weeks. My father was in the hospital and I barely had enough time to update my business blog, MN Headhunter, and not enough time to get here.

   

But I am back and like most of us in what has recently become known as Gopher Nation very excited for this new era in Gopher football.

   

As we all know Coach Brewster has been hired, a coaching staff hired, with a public relations blitz all while finishing up the 2007 recruiting class.

   

I am going to do some basic updating of the site from the past three weeks and will have a big post following tomorrow’s letter of intent signing day.
