According to my calculations, it has been 247 days since Mitch Leidner was dabbing in endzone at Ford Field in the Quick Lane Bowl.
The Minnesota Golden Gophers haven't taken the field in approximately 21,340,800 seconds. But worry not Gopher Nation, for the end is upon us. Soon, the marching band will be swinging open those gates, 55,000 strong will be yelling "Ski-U-Mah" and the memories of an injury-torn, adversity filled year can finally be put to bed in the wake of a fresh new season.
