Game thoughts Weber was not good, Gray is probably worse, coaches would play best player regardless of seniority, loyalty, etc, Gray must be struggling in practice or he would have gotten mixed in by now. Oline terrible, all of them not just wills, bunders, etc look for 3-5 new starters next...

Just looking back on the 2 games in 07 and 08, Weber has had some pretty good performances, in 07 he had 400+ yards of offense, in 08 he had 4 TDs, turnovers and defense killed us in both games. I think this might be the game where he flashes greatness again, we've seen it before, often...

Last year at the Viking Pecker game, as GB missed a field goal that would have either won the game or tied it(can't remember) they played that bang on the drum song the peckers play when they score, the place went NUTS. This year, as the time ticks down and the Gophers are in victory...

Anyone have experience from the Cal game taking the shuttle early(like 7-8) in the morning to get to the tailgating area. I have a Northstar lot pass, but am having some people stop by and join the party. Does the shuttle from the fair start that early?

Just a thread of its own to young guys who are showing up on the field. Kirksey and Edwards have been great in rotation so far. I also like what I see from Green and Stoudemire as receivers. A nod to Rallis, Cooper, Bryant Allen(even a fair catch is tough under pressure), Eskridge has been...

Cal's O looks pretty potent, seems like a running and vertical passing based O. We are going to need a pass rush this week, better than what we saw @Syracuse. DL Wilhite has been good off the edge, seems like he's been in on obvious passing downs so far. I'd like to see him get some more time...

Per Pioneer press, Coach Brew is going to fly a helicopter from Gjere's game to Beau Allen's game and to Seantrell Henderson's. Holy Reusse! Awesome!

Local kid SLP/SA HS class of 2008 OK, I've kinda been sitting on this, but does anyone know why we never extended an offer to this kid. I talked with one of his coaches last spring(I'm a track coach), he is a legit athlete 4.4 to 4.5 speed at 220 lbs, seemed to be a good kid too. If I remember...

Look, we struggled yesterday, we won ugly and sloppy, our Qb was off, our DE's were slow, and our OL was less than average. BUT WE WON. I actually think this is a good slap upside the head for the stadium opener, not one player on that team is taking anything for granted now. A few thoughts...

I was checking out the future schedules on gophersports when I noticed that the past schedules go back to the very beginning of the program, I found it very cool to check into some of the scores and teams that we played back in 1800's and turn of the century on. Looks like we used to womp...

Looks like a reshuffling of an already suspect OLine, between this and thier depth issues on D, I am thinking a physical plan of attack on D and a pounding run game could be key to wearing down their team. My biggest fear is them attacking our edges, Paulus and runners getting outside of our...

This is the one that stands out, take a look at the depth and speed upgrades that have been made since 07. 07 DE Vandesteeg(one armed Willy)RsJr/Campbell So/Brody Jr/Onwuachi So 09 DE Mckinley Sr/Jacobs RsSO/Onwuachi Sr/Moen Sr Add Hageman/Wilhite for pass rusher specialists and the 09 version...

Looking at Syracuse, the situation seems very similar to our season coming in to 2007, so I thought I'd take a look at who we had playing then and now, a comparison of weapons and options for O, and to put it all in perspective. QB- 07 Weber RsFR/Mortenson JR QB- 09 Weber RsJr/Gray Fr Have to...

This has been touched on lately, but what are the thoughts on Garin's role this year? Obviously you want a DE to gain a year of strength and experience before throwing them in the trenches, but I would think there might be a place for a pass rusher on third downs, obvious passing situations...

•Tim Brewster's eternal optimism annoys some people up in Minneapolis, but his outlook is, for the most part, what the Minnesota program needs. You've got to love his aggressive approach to scheduling and his openness to change in the Big Ten. Brewster must make his mark on the field this fall...

FYI-I talked with a local restaurant owner last night and he said that his restaurant will have a concessions stand in the new stadium. Very cool that the U is going to have alternative food concessions with local ties, it will most likely be much better quality than the typical hot dogs and...

Saw on gophersports that Weber attended the Manning passing Camp, he would do well to model himself after Peyton, hopefully he learned a few things about preparation, gameplan, practice, and reading defenses. That'd be a pretty cool experience for a college QB I would think.

I'm going to be brewing up several batches of homebrew beer for this fall's tailgating(plastic bottles) I don't have specific beer types picked out yet, but obviously a nice golden hued brew will be one, the other I was thinking of maybe a red of some sort, anyway Just thought I'd see if there...

With all this O-line and runningback talk, I was thinking that some of the big plays in the running game might not even come directly from the runningbacks. I guess we don't know what Fisch has in store yet. Granted Bennett,Whaley, Eskridge etc will get the up the gut, grind it out carries that...

Pretty slow lately, but I'm getting more and more pumped for the season, so I thought I'd get opinions/thoughts on our young stable of D linemen. Jacobs, Kirksey, and Edwards played sparingly last year, but contributed, DL Wilhite, Terrell Combs I believe played but Wilhite ended up Redshirting...
