The Golden Gopher team played its first game on September 29, 1882 and easily defeated St. Paul's Hamline University in a 4-0 victory. With such an auspicious start, the team began to grow and establish a Gopher Football roster full of skilled athletes.

Although the 2007 University of Minnesota Golden Gophers season didn't pan out as hoped, two exciting events are on the horizon for the Gopher football team. The first anticipated event is Coach Tim Brewster's return for a second year of his 5 year contract.
