The University of Minnesota Golden Gophers have,
for over 100 years, compiled a football history 
and tradition equalled by few schools in the
country.

Six times the Gophers have been crowned National
Champions: 1934, 1935, 1936, 1940, 1941, & 1960.
In fact, the 1934 team is still considered by
many to be one of the best, if not THE best,
college teams ever assembled.

The school has certainly had its share of 
legendary head coaches, such as Dr. Henry Williams,
Bernie Bierman, and Murray Warmath. Greater still
is the number of coaching giants who played their
college ball at Minnesota: Gil Dobie, Bud Wilkinson,
Biggie Munn, and Bud Grant, just to name a few.

In addition, few schools can match Minnesota's
roll call of legendary players: Pug Lund, Ed Widseth,
Herb Joesting, Sonny Franck, Bruce Smith, Leo
Nomellini, Clayton Tonnemaker, Paul Giel, Sandy
Stephens, Tom Brown, Bobby Bell, Carl Eller, and
of course, Bronko Nagurski.

This page serves as a tribute to all of those
through the ages who have helped make the Minnesota
Golden Gophers one of college football's most
storied programs.
