Gophers Linebacker Found Dead

Former Gophers linebacker Gary Tinsley was found dead in his dorm room early Friday morning. He was only 22 years old and on his way to the NFL Draft. A sad day for Gophers fans and all the people who knew Tinsley. He was a great player and seemed like even a better person. Thoughts are going out to his family and friends through this tough time.

Gophers to the NIT Championship

Of course I go to the U of M and I enjoy watching a little Gophers basketball. So the last couple weeks have been pretty fun, as the Gophers have actually looked like a whole new team. They have made it to the NIT Championship game which is pretty sweet. I didn't think we'd make the actual tourney, so for us to make it to the championship here is pretty fricken' sweet. The Gophers will play against Stanford Thursday night at Madison Square Garden.
And head coach Tubby Smith had to be proud of the guys on his team for pulling it together here at the end of the season. "I'm just so proud of their perseverance, and their ability to overcome so many distractions," Smith said. "Just amazing... It's one of the hardest-working groups of kids I've ever worked with."
