There's an old saying among Gophers fans: it's better to be dead than red.
And now, there's a new saying: Fire Brewster.
Tim Brewster is now 0-10 in trophy games as Gophers coach and 0-10 against top-25 opponents. If he's allowed to finish this season, there's a good chance he'll be 6-26 or 7-25 in Big Ten Conference games (0-8 or 1-7 this year).
That is Jim Wacker-like and, in fact, worse. Since a 17-6 win at Purdue in 2008, Brewster is 7-17.
We were told the program was "light years" ahead of when he took it over. Former coach Glen Mason should sue for libel.
In the oldest rivalry in college football, neither team had lost seven consecutive games -- until now. Four of those losses belong to Brewster.
It has come to this: after Wisconsin's 41-23 destruction of the Gophers on Saturday, Brewster and Badgers coach Bret Bielema exchanged words during the midfield handshake.
Brewster is upset, and rightfully so, that Bielema went for a two-point conversion after taking a 41-16 lead early in the fourth quarter. It was a classless move. But fours year into the Brewster era, do we really have to spend time debating the ramifications of the opposition possibly trying to run-up the score?
Here's my advice: stop them, which the Gophers did, but also stop them earlier in the game.
The Gophers are not capable of such a feat. It was a 14-9 game at halftime when Bielema told the Big Ten Network (shocking that Charissa Thompson didn't distract me), "My guess is we'll move them (in the second half)."
That's exactly what Wisconsin did, scoring touchdowns on three straight possessions.
In fact, it was comparable to last year's second half at TCF Bank Stadium, where the Badgers outgained the Gophers 302 to 11 in total yards.
The Badgers must have a great strength and conditioning coach. For six consecutive quarters, Wisconsin has physically manhandled the Gophers. Pancake blocks, etc.
Two garbage-time touchdowns from receiver Da'Jon McKnight made the score closer, and showed that offensive coordinator Jeff Horton needs to go in his direction more. Those were McKnight's only catches all-day.
The Gophers wore all-white jerseys with white helmets. It might've been symbolic of the fan base. One that is now waving the white flag on Brewster's tenure.
