The game was intense with the Gophers ultimately winning the game 38-35 in double overtime. Uncle John personally praised the team after their big win. “Congratulations to everybody,” he said in a recording his nephew posted on Instagram. “I’m proud of my nephew, but I’m proud of all y’all. Y’all fought hard, y’all came into a hostile environment and won. That was an incredible win.”
Michael also posted a longer video on Twitter of his uncle being hoisted up by his teammates. “A great experience for myself, my uncle, and my team to be apart of! We Are FAMILY ❤️ ”
