I found it amazing that neither the host or Mason mentioned one recruit that signed with the Gophers. No mention of the 3 RB's, the D-Linemen, or the big OT from Irondale Jimmy Gjere. DB really doesn't know much of anything about the Gopher football program let alone any of the players. I would love to ask DB what he thinks for Hageman, Jacobs and Maresh a year from now. Jacobs was the #1 recruit 3 years ago and most people feel Hageman was the #1 recruit from Minnesota last season. Maresh was #2 in the Floyd class yet no mention of any of these 3 highly rated recruits by DB. I believe Carufel was also #1 in Minnesota 4 years ago.
I was surprised that Mason said that he would start Gray over Weber based on the fact that our offense was so poor this past year...especially in light of the fact that Mason recruited Adam.
Go Gophers!!
Barriero tried to get Mason to bash Brew on his recruiting promises Brew made comin in to Minnesota. Apparently Barreiro is a d-bag like the rest of the jackbags media tools up there.
Mason actually made the segment respectable. Danny left the door open for him to bash Brewster but Smilin' Glen took the high road. Gotta give him credit for that.
I think Mason is trying to be objective and I would agree with that statement. If Weber struggles again next year, you probably have to say enough is enough and it's time to move on. I think a lot of Weber's problems came from coaches who tried to change his throwing motion and an offensive coordinator who refused to simplify his offense so the team could understand it. In Weber's defense, he has now had FOUR different offensive coordinators in four years and I think the last one (Fisch) was probably the worst of the bunch.
Barreiro is the Alpha d-bag in the Minnesota sports scene. He is constantly negative and has the biggest soapbox. He really only has a decent understanding of NFL football, everything else he spews is just ignorant "savagery".

I can't believe how everybody blames a change in throwing motion for Webers demise. Weber never could throw no matter how his mechanics were. The throwing motion argument is way overrated.
I agree. I had the feeling that Dan B kept trying to get Mason to throw a punch at Brewster. Mason, I thought, gave a good interview.
This year, Minnesota got 2 of the 3 high ranked in state recruits.QUOTE]
Sounds good, but when #4 and #5 go to Nebraska and Stanford, we really got 2 out of 5.
I tend to like Mason more each time I hear him. He is honest and truly likes MN. He lives here and his son attends the U. He seems to have no hard feels toward the U, but people on here tend to bash him constantly.
He brought respectability to the program, but had to be fired. Coach Brewster is running the fine line of destoying what Mason did and putting the program back to where it was 15 years ago. I hope we see a glimmer this year.
Just out of sheer curiosity, why do some of you propose KFAN rips on Brewster/Gopher FB so much?
I'm just in the market for opinions on the matter.
