Have a guy that isn't talked about much, or from whom not much is expected this year, but that you think will make a big contribution? I have two. Christian Eldred - the new walkon punter from Australia. I predict he will be the punter when the season starts. I think he played Australian...

Nebraska has "Go big Red" Iowa has "Let's go Hawks" Wisconsin has "Let's f@#k a dead..." Never mind. Moving on I think the Gophers need a chant the entire stadium can get behind. I propose "Go Go Gophers" or "Ski-U-Mah" "Go Go Gophers" seems easy and has a flow to it. "Ski-U-Mah"*...

First, let me say that I am a fan of Sid Hartman. I started listening to him 40 years ago when I first came to the Twin Cities and I have always admired the way he stuck up for the local teams. If you were a Minnesota coach or player Sid would stick up for you. Sid, especially in his early...

Have they announced the date of the spring game yet?

I just got back from the playoffs. I specifically went to watch Phillip Nelson. The good news - He accurate on short to medium passes and throws well on the run His long passes need some work but some of that could be due to his receivers. A couple of times on long passes they picked up the...

There was an amazing quote in yesterday's Pioneer Press that made me want to tear my hair out. http://www.twincities.com/gophersfootball/ci_19073287 WHY DID YOU THROW THE DAMN BALL!!!! The coaches stress this all week and yet, Gray throws the ball for a pick! Multiply this by seven (I think...

Does anyone know if Gray's toe/ankle has healed enough for him to play?

I can't remember how much a player can play before his redshirt comes off - I think it is a few quarters but I'm not sure how many. Both Wright and Cobb played last Saturday but I think they were just in for a play or two in one quarter so at this point I think they can still redshirt. I...

I don't think Gray is that great at receiver but the kid can run. Plus when he is given the ball the D could never be sure he wasn't going to pass so D backs would have to stay back giving Gray more room. Gray could also circle out of the backfield to make a large, outlet target for Shortell...

Why the Gophers will win 7 games this year. The talent level is good enough. Are we the most talented team in the B10? No, but it is good enough to win 7 games. Jacobs and Hageman are the real deals at tackle. Which ever one is in the game at any given time will be able to apply pressure up...

Several people have expressed their opinion that the gophers lack talent. I feel the team has enough talent to go to a bowl game this year if the coaching turns out to be as good as I think it is. I am not sure what was going on with Brewster's staff but certainly the team played better under...

If you weren't at the Goalline Club's chalk talk last night with Coach Limegrover you missed a GREAT, GREAT presentation! Unlike previous chalktalks where an assistant coach would come and basically ad lib for a half hour, Coach Limegrover had a one and one half hour Powerpoint and video...

I hate to start another thread about the S & C coach but the other one was hopelessly high-jacked by and about LIG. First Brewster's S & C coach did make the players stronger. It was obvious the first year. But raw strength isn't the only attribute needed. As Husker70 has pointed out...

If the defense were better we would have won at least two or three more games and Brewster would still be coach next year. Who ever the new coach is, he will have a chance to have a decent year because of the red shirts this year and some of the talent on D being more mature and, we hope...

What a good way to get publicity if you are 1500espn. Just make up a rumor that the foaming at the mouth fans want to hear and see what happens. Maybe you are a secret Iowa or Wisconsin fan - it was only mentioned 500 times during the telecast today. Do you think that helped recruiting? It...

Here are some "can't miss" coaching candidates we could hire to replace Brewster. It just goes to show we should fire Brewster now because there are a ton of candidates all of whom could do a better job than Brewster. Hiring a great coach is trivial for great football minds like we have on...

The Crystal Ball Digging around in the closet for my game gear I came across my aunt's old crystal ball. My mother, who never liked my aunt, always referred to her as that witch, but I thought it was just a figure of speech until I started to dust the crystal ball and images started to form...

Just got back from the scrimmage - some quick observations. Weber is back! Looked really good - accurate and no hesitation. The running game is back. The line is MUCH better and the running backs are much more patient in waiting for the holes to open up and then darting through them. Bennett...

If you think alcohol should be served in the luxury suites at TCF please write or call your representative. There is still time to save this and it would be a great help to the sports programs. Here is a letter I just sent to my representative. I was very disappointed to see that the house...
