They play their games behind the games.

The @GopherManagers fared well enough against fellow student manager teams this winter and in an online vote to earn their first trip to the 'Manager Games National Championship' tournament at the Final Four.

🚨Travel Update (Pt1)🚨 One of the great life skills you learn from being a manager is how to be resilient. Day 2: About 3 hours into our drive we blew a tire in the middle of Oklahoma. Despite the 3 hour delay we were able to get the spare on…

On the same day, a former Gophers manager was hired as the program's head coach, it's a great time to vote for the @GopherManagers in the annual Manager Games.

They are one round away from a trip to San Antonio to compete for a national championship at this year's Final Four.⬇️

[Ryan James @RyanJamesMN]

In honor of Minnesota‘s new head coach (former manager)
