    Kill: changing my grade from B to A

    I was excited when we got Kill, but after doing a little more research, watching the press conference, etc., I am starting to believe we could not have made a better hire. We could have gone with a more sure thing, but I cannot figure out why Golden, Hoke or Edsall would have been a better...

    I cannot be mad about this hire

    Try as I might, I cannot get angry about hiring a coach who has dominated everywhere he has coached, just went 8-0 in the conference, and destroyed our Gophers at the Bank not two months ago. Can someone please explain to me why Jerry Kill is not a great hire? If you can't get a Dan Mullen...

    The antidote for Iowans

    Hold up ten fingers and wiggle Mr. Pointer. Let them know that's where ring #7 is going. It drives them crazy. It's hilarious. They start blathering about the days of leather helmets and crap until you ask them if it was so easy back then why Iowa never won one. Then they rip on the...

    The Mason-Trestman Connection

    The Mason crowd is rabid for Trestman. I haven't personally heard of a Mason hater that supports Trestman. What is up?

    Help- Following the Speculation at Work

    Like many of you, I am trying to follow the coaching speculation at work but can't sit on the Net all day searching and googling. From what I can tell, there are no radio stations providing competent coverage of the issue. Anyone find any? I have also determined twitter seems to be a good...

    What is Brewster's buyout

    I heard it was in the neighborhood of $400K. That cannot be right. Does anyone know what it really is?

    Coaching candidates

    I do not believe there can be too many topics on this subject. If you disagree, navigate away. Georgia lost again; looks like Mark Richt will be available. My first choice would be Mike Tice, but apparently he won't work because he lacks the requisite college degree.

    Bring on Mike Tice

    Can you imagine this guy on the recruiting trail? Uff da. And this guy can both call a game and coach em up. He went 9-7 on a shoestring budget with the Vikings and was fired for Chilly's ineptitude.

    WTF- Gordy Shaw and the Rainbows?

    http://hawaiiathletics.com/news/2009/2/17/FB_0217092716.aspx I thought this would be the big *&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#*&^!#'s big homecoming but instead I found this!

    Maturi's Grand Slam

    Maturi knocked the ball so far out of the park on alignment that it is rolling down 6th Street. No team made out better than the Gophers. Keep in mind that who is good and who is mediocre is relatively transient (with the exception of Ohio St.) so opportunity, geography, and history are the...

    Surprised no Alignment Talk Here

    Seems like the whole Big Ten is abuzz except for here. I have been trying to follow it pretty closely and am becoming resigned to the fact Minnesota will get screwed. That sentiment is probably widespread and causing some of the apathy?

    Luke McAvoy & Crawford-Tufts now 3 stars

    Not the biggest blockbuster news, but Rivals has increased Luke McAvoy from 2 to 3 stars, and Devin Crawford-Tufts from unrated to 3 stars. Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

    Who will play safety?

    This is my biggest concern on this team. We've got Theret and Royston and I don't know who else. Of these two, the former had off the field trouble and the latter is recovering from a serious injury. Could someone who has been following things on the practice field let us (me) know who is...

    Team #13- Pittsburgh

    This is going to happen. Delaney set the Big XII into chaos by poaching Nebraska, and he will set the Big East into a tailspin by selecting Pitt. Selecting Pitt will have a ripple effect including, but not limited to the following: 1) the ACC will immediately move to poach the Big East...

    Sad article on conference expansion

    http://www.kansascity.com/2010/06/10/2008130/is-this-the-worst-day-in-kansas.html Thought this was worth sharing. It is a long article from the Kansas City paper titled "Is This the Worst Day in Kansas City Sports History?" While we are discussing the relative merits of adding Nebraska and...

    End game is Notre Dame to Big Ten

    The end game in Delaney's maneuvering is Notre Dame to the Big Ten. Not to sound too conspiratorial, but Nebraska was clearly not the #1 pick to be the Big Ten's 12th and final member. It was a way to start the the water trickling through the dam. Nebraska was the first domino, then Colorado...

    Saw Tubby today

    Man, that guy is about as tall, handsome, and young looking in person as you could believe. He was all smiles and definitely had a spring in his step. A little funny considering where I saw him- the courthouse.
