Last day of June, Gopher fans. July will be here tomorrow and football seemingly the day after that.
The Gophers finished 14th nationally in the finaly 2008-09 Director's Cup standings. This was their highest finish since 2003 and the third best among Big Ten Schools.
- #5 Michigan
- #10 Ohio State
- #14 Minnesota
- #19 Penn State
- #20 Illinois
- #27 Michigan State
- #38 Purdue
- #41 Wisconsin
- #44 Northwestern
- #45 Iowa
- #55 Indiana
The Gophers traditionally finish well in the Director's Cup as this is their 14th consecutive year in the top 20 with one top 10 finish in 2002 (seventh place).

- Your daily Seantrell Henderson update. The nation's most coveted OT is planning trips to South Carolina and Clemson this summer.
- Lake the Posts has polled some of the finest Big Ten blogs to get their collective thoughts on the 2009 football season. As a group they predicted the Gophers would finish 8th in the league but we were also the pick to be the sleeper team to crack the upper tier!
- Finally, I love this post giving us the 20 worst moments in Vikings history. Hard to argue and we could probably come up with a comparable list for Gopher football.
