October 21, 2023 - Gophers go into Iowa City and win

There are a lot of things that happened over the last 24 years since a win in Iowa City, even the Gophers football team has undergone several changes since 1999.

There have been 5 head coaches since the Glen Mason win in 1999. Tim Brewster, Jeff Horton, Jerry Kill, Tracy Claeys, and now P.J. Fleck.

I can only hope that the Gophers don't go another 24 years without winning in Iowa City.
