Midweek Nugz: Former Gopher Deandre Mathieu Stanford Hates Iowa Too

It isn't quite #TBT yet but Amelia has a cool profile on former Gopher Deandre Mathieu who is still trying to continue his playing career after his stint with Minnesota.

But after getting his degree, nothing went as planned. Mathieu signed with an agent, but work never came. Not in the states, not overseas. While former teammates Mo Walker, Austin Hollins and Andre Hollins all took jobs internationally, Mathieu sat at home, wondering what had happened.

It felt like a flashback to the start of his career, when as a walk-on at Morehead State, Mathieu battled to be seen as a scholarship athlete.
