There are two periods of in the Gopher sports year that I dislike the most. The first is the post March Madness off-season, especially once the NFL Draft is done and we hit the summer doldrums. The second is right now, after National Signing Day but before Spring Practice begins.
It’s not as bad as the true college sports offseason. After all, having basketball and hockey to focus on helps a lot (especially when they are winning like this season). But after the ups and downs of the regular season and bowls and the caring is creepy run up to National Signing Day, the two month window before Spring Football still feels a little empty.
