    On track for largest in state class since 02?

    QB- Nelson QB/TE- Leidner WR-McDonald WR-Freucte TE-Williams S/OLB-Rallis Offers TE-Johnson OT-Pirsig OG-Hayes That would be 9, most I could find for scholarship players from MN. 2002 was 8 Who knows if someone like Ford/Webb/Lee/Roullier/Herbert/Larsen gets one if others don't commit. I like...

    Walk ons

    Per Sid: 8 Walk ons: The Gophers' 2011 football squad will include eight walk-ons, and they all are in summer school because, under a new NCAA rule, the university can pay for their school expenses just like the athletic department does for the varsity players who all are in summer school. The...

    Recruiting crystal ball?

    As discussed we're likely to take 18-19 recruits this season unless spots open up before fall. Summer camps will bring more offers/commitments, we've already got 4 commits Any thoughts on how we fill the rest of our commit list? I would think a few local kids will get camp offers Larsen...

    Video of workouts

    Just a few observations from Doogie's 6AM workout piece http://kstp.com/sports/stories/S1999139.shtml?cat=7 -Kill looks thinner to me, it'd be a good sign if he personally is getting in shape, healthier too for those with any concerns about Kill's health -Brooks Michel is working out in the...

    Auburn's traditional trees poisoned by psycho alabama fan

    Anyone hear about this? Their tradition is to TP the row of hundred year old trees on a corner of campus after a victory, supposedly a psycho alabama fan poisoned the soil surrounding the trees with industrial strength herbacide and bragged about it on Finebaum's radio show and Alabama's scout...

    2012 recruiting

    Obligatory 2012 thread, any thoughts on who we might get to commit? I'm going to assume in state we'll bring in quite a few, some as walk-ons, no inside knowledge. Mv's got a good list:http://fringebowlteamblog.com/?p=2779 QB-J. Molberg- Like his potential, seems to WANT to be a Gopher WR-A...

    Gotta feel solid going forward with the last 2 classes

    An absolute herd of big, athletic, and highly touted offensive linemen have been assembled in the past two classes, add in freshman starter Ed Olson and I think we have to feel solid about our offensive trenches for the next 4-5 years, which will be very nice. E. Olson Gjere Epping Eggen...

    Sooo, any insight into how Kill finishes this class?

    Down another commit, with a few other dropping us from their choices leaves me wondering how we end up filling the class. I'm not worried so much as curious. Then i hear rumblings that Kill wants to bring in 36 freshmen including walkons to help fill holes and get the scholarship numbers back...

    Hoke's assistant hiring record

    I found Hoke's staff additions at SDSU interesting and telling of a smart head coach. He had no ties to the west coast or southwest when he went there, so he hired Rocky Long former New Mexico head coach, Brian Sipe, distinguished SDSU alum, former NFL QB turned champion local HS coach, and got...

    Recipe for new head coach extending honeymoon

    I'm going to assume we strike out on so called tier 1 top candidates like Peterson/Patterson/Harbaugh and we end up with a Sumlin/Golden/Hoke/Mullen type. IMO The honeymoon starts at the hiring conference and can be as short as a few weeks or as long as 2-3 years. It will be shortened/extended...

    Dungy's Role?

    Milktoast Maturi on CCO this morning said he's been in fairly constant contact with Dungy and that the search firm that has been hired will take a list of names from the U, suggest a few of their own, and that Dungy will have input into the list of candidates and possibly have a few names of his...

    Doogie's alumni quotes

    http://1500espn.com/sportswire/Former_U_players_coaches_administrators_weigh_in_on_coaching_search102210 I've got to say I'm pretty disheartened by the majority of Doogie's interview quotes on his blog. Jack Brewer is absolutely out of it, he blatantly shows how out of it he's been the last...

    Mike Markuson-Ole Miss

    Any thoughts? Local boy gone SEC for awhile. Better candidate than any of the other homeboys if that's what Maturi is obsessed with.

    ESPN's Air Force Defensive MVP

    Jordan Waiwaiole from Spring Lake Park/Saint Anthony MN 45 tackles 4.5 for loss 2 sacks 1 INT 1 FF Always hoped this was one that got away that wouldn't sting. Was a legit athlete at SLPSA, huge numbers his junior year, but broke his leg/arm/something his senior year I believe. Still always...

    Read this and tell me the right coach can't change things here

    Underlines just seemed too familiar to disregard. Stanford had scored eight touchdowns on USC, part of a 55-21 annihilation inside the Los Angeles Coliseum last November, and now some of the Trojans were bailing for cover, jogging to their locker room without a postgame handshake. Jim...

    Time to move on, time to change direction

    It's time, and now to move. There is nothing left. There is no reason to delay. I'm not going to b#&^@, I'm not going to boo, I'm not going to chant anything negative at the remaining home games. I stayed until the final note in Hail Minnesota, I was almost the only one left in my section when...
