    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.
