The scene inside the Gophers football war room Wednesday morning looked like a party.
Balloons hung from the ceiling, hip hop music filled the room, there was dancing, a piñata, and men dressed in suits took turns pounding a gong. The spectacle was new coach P.J. Fleck's way of celebrating National Signing Day.
Oh, and don't forget to "Row the Boat." Fleck used magnets shaped like oars to show off the photos and names of his new signing class.
The Gophers officially signed 25 recruits and celebrated each one as if he were the program's next star.
Here are some scenes from the exciting gathering:
