    Good article on South Carolina under Spurrier, in state recruits

    http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/page/football-121012Low/college-football-steve-spurrier-puts-plan-place-south-carolina-gamecocks-sec "How did the Gamecocks get here after seemingly being doomed to eternal mediocrity? For starters, it's important to remember that they didn't get...

    Our program's depth has improved.

    I was simply impressed by the way we were able to fill in a few key injuries and come away with a W on Sat. I don't believe W Michigan is a bad team, time will tell if that was a quality win or not. Shortell off the bench, Epping sliding over to C and Bak filling in, Shabazz being out and not...

    TE depth, Why not use an OL?

    To me at least, I see a glaring hole in TE where we were thin last year, we are thinner now. Rabe and Goodger will be fine, maybe even great, but we used alot of TE's quite a bit last year, including sets with 3 at a time with some regularity. I think everyone would like to see Williams and...

    Track and Field update

    I didn't get to see as many Gopher prospects this season as in the past, but yesterday I was able to see Duke Anyanwu in action and was impressed. He's much closer to 240 than 220, and ran the 110 hurdles very well. At his size it's a very impressive sight to see, that race takes alot of...

    One more spot open, who fills it?

    Kill has said there's one more spot open in this class due to Drew Davis's decommit. Any thoughts on where we go to fill it? Some options: -Give the spot to either Anywanu or Lauer and eliminate a grayshirt. -Fill with a LB to replace Drew Davis, maybe that JUCO blip that was reported 2 days...

    Are we full up for this class?

    Seems like we are probably 1 spot away from full, with some alternates ready to go. I have to think they are genuinely saving a spot if McDonald ends up choosing the U, with an alternate in mind if he doesn't. They did this last year too with Daquan Kenney being an alternate to Amaefula and...

    Stability and a house in order feels good

    Seeing our rivals go through some coaching changes, major roster rebuilding, and scandals makes me appreciate a thusfar quiet offseason. If Coach Kill can keep things in order up to fall camp we will have narrowed the gap a bit between our program and those to our stinky south and east. Player...

    Mid season enrolles and their impact next year

    Seems like a unique aspect to Kill and company's recruiting to get kids that will be around in Jan. Makes alot of sense though. 1)It gets kids signed up before signing day, limits last minute defections. 2)Get's them in the fold for offseason conditioning and integrated into the systems early in...

    Expectations: Blood and sweat on the field, Mid Hate week

    With all the PSU/Paterno, marching band, and random wisky hating threads, let talk expectations for this game. I honestly was wary of hoping for much at first, but then saw that wisky hadn't rolled us at home since 83', some bad teams have kept pace with wisky even in some good years for them...

    I believe this game is a turning point for a brighter future(long)

    Obviously everyone feels great after a win like that, IMO it's even better than that. This team is still vastly underwhelming talentwise, very young, and not very deep. And yet we saw for the first time how a Kill coached team will attack and win games. I believe this win to be a sign that...

    Strib look into the past 1911 Gophers/Huskers battle

    http://www.startribune.com/local/blogs/132282678.html Really amazing that the game review is better written then than anything the local press puts out now. Really puts the trash the pukes in the local media today "write" in perspective. Weird how a game review can be informative and with a...

    Coaches recruiting this week, thoughts?

    Joe Schmidt said this was a heavy recruiting week on the news last night, Looked to me that Bill Miller might be scanning the JUCOs for some players with some recent offers going to DTs. I've got to think they'll be reevaluating some of the local prospects too after getting some game film...

    It's gonna hurt for awhile, been hurting for awhile, points of positivity

    Just got back into town, liver is a paler shade of green than Sat. I see a few things to hang our hopes on. Our OL is awful right now, but enough of the kids redshirting, been redshirted, and current recruits have potential, frames, and athleticism to be molded in a few years, Limegrover had...

    NDSU should throw a Joel Maturi/Tim Brewster appreciation gameday

    All the hoopla and excitement over this game locally just further illustrates how godawful our AD is at his job, and really NDSU, SDSU, ND, and SD football owe him and Tim Brewster a debt of gratitude that possibly cannot be measured it is so large. Scheduling these games is one thing, a nice...

    A few USC thoughts.

    Just thought I'd throw out a few points that struck me about the USC matchup. 1)Royston's impact will be felt. Our safety situation was godawful early last season, Theret had just come off of his suspension, Manuel and C. Lewis were still glowing from the toasting they got against USD. If...

    Best bet for an upset?

    Piggybacking off of Rittenberg's Chat today, Who's our best bet to upset in a memorable way? Obviously we'll be underdogs in alot of games, I'm going to say Nebraska will be tough, both teams off bye weeks. wisky is tough too, they're going to be able to coast in the previous games before we get...

    A bit of Kill kool aid, good signs

    Looking at Kill's teams' performances against teams one level up(FBS when @ SIU, BCS when @ NIU) and down(D2, FCS) from 2002-2010 there are some very good signs. 2002- SIU Took an eventual 4-8 win team to Eastern Michigan(MAC) and went to OT on the road losing 45-48 Beat Kentucky Wesleyan and...
