Good afternoon everybody,
We have some chill news for you to peruse this Friday. Take a scroll and find something to read. If you scroll to the bottom, you'll find a soundoff of some of the Daily’s editors on their favorite Easter/Spring candies. I’ve written Reese’s more times today than I ever have in one sitting.
Have a good weekend, and keep yourself informed.
Take it easy,

The Gophers football team hosted their first open practice to the general public on April 15, allowing fans to watch the team before the season started.
Minnesota finished last season with an 8-5 record. They won Paul Bunyun’s Axe back from Wisconsin and went on to win against Virginia Tech in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl.
With the start of a new season comes new players, expectations and opinions from fans.
At the end of the 2024 season, the Gophers lost their main quarterback, Max Brosmer, to the 2025 NFL draft. Minnesota fans were left questioning who would fill the gap at quarterback.
Redshirt freshman Drake Lindsey is the quarterback the fans are talking about.
