When looking at the landscape of hearland sports, the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers are pretty a joke all the around. It's no news flash that Football and Basketball are the two most popular college sports nationwide, but as far as each goes on the Ski-U-Mah it's pretty pathetic. Sure they have some coaches with name recognition and the football team has had some players get drafted but those are not enough things to translate to success on the playing surface.
But this isn't actually about ripping the U. Just the opposite in fact!
I don't know where Women's college basketball would fall in the list of sports popularity but my guess would be that it isn't high on the list. Despite the level of popularity I've heard of a young woman doing pretty astounding things for their basketball team.
More on that after the break!
