Mel Northway. Three year starter (and Patrick Henry grad) who played with Gopher greats Lou Hudson, Archie Clark, and Bill Davis. Northway averaged a double/double in each of his three seasons. But what really makes Mel special is he is the only college coach (Inver Hills CC in its first...

We were spoiled by their presence and that might be the peak, but since them we're really at the bottom of the mountain. And it can't just be raw talent that's at the crux of the issue.

I used to rag on Kill and Limegrover for their Pop Warner passing game, but outside of Johnson/Bateman/Bell (and to some extent Jackson), Fleck hasn't been any better. Who can blame any high-profile WR for not wanting to play for the Gophers? WRs want the ball and get pretty adamant about it...

True, but then get a better commumicator in this key coaching position.

If Harbaugh didn't take time to work and communicate with Kollock, he should be shown the door. Either that or they have to have someone on staff that is exclusively the QB coach instead of having the OC/QB coach designation.

So it wasn't Delilah that cut off Samson's hair?

Being semi-retired, I am able to research important questions like the one you have posed. My digging into this unearthed the information, which is found on the Chester Public Library (Illinois) web page: Bluto, a character created in 1932 by Elzie Crisler Segar as a one-time villain, named...

Add to that Day looks like Bluto, the villain from the Popeye cartoons.

I think the primary reasons Moore got the head coaching gig at Michigan was that he was acting coach when Harbaugh was suspended and Harbaugh's recommendation after he left to coach the Chargers. I think the Fickell reference is a good one, but he never shook the interim tag while Moore never...

You got it right. It's Physical Education! The last semester of my senior year at the Harvard of Minneapolis located just south of Riverside Avenue, my primary goal was keeping my blood alcohol level at or above the legal limit. I had finished all the requirements of the major I never really...

I'm sure Pavia has his posse, but the guy is a classless pr*ck. And that's just the football part of the equation. His eligibility case is going to f*ck things up royally. I think one of the reasons voters didn't cast a first-place ballot for him is that he should have been out of eligibility.

Indeed we did.

Just magnify to 200% and read very slowly.

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...
