Gee, if he gets the Giants' job I hope they aren't the last playoff seed. He'd tell the team not to show up.

Very true. I think his offense tends conservative, but when he had Bateman, Johnson, and Autman-Bell, he didn't hesitate pushing the envelope. He'd land more consistent top-drawer talent at a helmet school and talent makes the coach as much as coaching elevates the talent. I think his...

Really? I am putting my fingers in my ears. NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA (not using my inside voice).

You're probably right. I respect Fleck a lot, but even he admits that he's not for everyone and the Michigan fan base would be a lot rougher on his style than our fan base has been.

Mike Max will take the job but only if he can continue to do Kick-Off Thursay and High School Sports Wrap. When Colbert goes off the air in May, I don't know why WCCO doesn't give Maxie the 10:35 to 11:00 slot so the rest of us can get a few more minutes of news.

Harakiri with a butter knife serving as the samurai would be a pretty slow death.

Fisch's year with Brewster was his first job as a coordinator (in a program that was starting to teeter). It came after Brewster moved on from Dunbar and a "basketball on grass" offense so Fisch wasn't really set up for success out of the gate as the personnel in-house didn't really fit the...

Dungy ran the veer and he was very good in that role. I saw enough of him live and he was a terrible passer. He didn't have a stellar set of receivers (Upchurch and Kullas excepted), but he threw an ugly ball. Of course, the veer was all about rushing. During Dungy's four-year tenure the...

+1. Little separation from the receivers. Is that the quality of the talent or the sets they are employing? It will take a lot to duplicate Johnson and Bateman as a tandem (add in Autman-Bell to make it a trio), but those guys seemed to get more open, especially on slants, than the groups of...

I was surprised that the transfer from Washington hardly saw the field. He's big and I wonder if he could slot in at RT. I'm guessing we will see some guys coming in through the portal but I hope they are more productive than last portal's results.

Seeing Pavia should be out of eligibility, I will go with Mendoza or Love.

Sorry for your loss. Sounds like you shared a love of Gopher football and that was a great bond. Be well.

Actually, Hoke was a hot commodity his first time through at San Diego State and was rumored for a lot of step-up jobs. Gophers were on that list and I know I'm not the only one who remembers Maturi's secret flight (that he vehemently denied) to San Diego to woo Hoke. Turns out that hot turns...

It comes down to the question of who moved first. I'm way old and my days as a flirting target are a speck in the rearview mirror, but even if she was batting her lashes and making a kissy face, Moore could have avoided any invitation (even if there was one and I want to make it clear I am not...

This sexual abuse/harassment/misbehavior virus seemed to migrate down from Michigan State. Someone should have put Larry Nasser in quarantine.
