Last season was disappointing in a number of respects. A 5-7 regular season wasn’t what anyone associate with the Gophers was looking forward to, no one foresaw or wanted to see Kill retire, and Minnesota is still without the Axe. But on a personal level, my biggest disappointment with the 2015 season had to be the notable absence of the Gopher Gnomes when they took a leave of absence to pursue a passion project.
Well have no fear friendly readers, 2016 isn’t just a new season under a new coaching staff. It’s also the return of the Gnomes.
