    Detail + screenshot: #MNUFC striker Ramon Abila has dedicated his first goal for #Loons on Wednesday to his brother, Gaston, who took his own life due to depression last year. It’s a heartfelt tribute, which also comes during Mental Health Month.

    SNUBBED. #Gophers Mo Ibrahim was left off Doak Walker Award finalists list for best running back in the nation despite being second in nation in yards per game (145) and touchdowns (19) — more than finalists Chase Brown (Illinois), Blake Corum (Michigan), Bijan Robinson (Texas).

    The #Gophers football team invited the U's marching band into their indoor practice facility before last Saturday's homecoming game, and then PJ and Heather Fleck treated them to pizza. The band also received around 120 hand-written thank-you notes from Minnesota players.

    #Gophers placeholder Casey O’Brien revealed before Friday’s hospital visit in Tampa that he’s now a FIVE-time cancer survivor, but the doctors feel they got it all off his lung and he doesn’t have to go through any more treatments. Scary but bottom line great news.

    Quote: #Gophers coach PJ Fleck said Prior Lake defensive lineman Martin Owusu showed him how the #Badgers negatively recruited against Minnesota toward the end of the cycle. Owusu honored his pledge to the U and signed Wednesday. "We Axed it."

    Former #Gophers running back Rodney Smith has been moved from practice squad to Panthers’ active roster for Sunday’s game vs. Buccaneers. After being patient for his chance, Smith could make his #NFL debut against Antoine Winfield Jr. and Tyler Johnson. Cool bit of timing

    #Gophers coach PJ Fleck politicing hard for ESPN’s “College Gameday” to visit for Penn State game Nov. 9. He told @KFAN1003 they're going to “do everything we can to get (it) here." He added you can go to LSU-Alabama any year, so why not come to Minneapolis to make a first?
