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. This page is in no way affiliated with the University of Minnesota nor its football program.
