    Why not be more skeptical of a newly hired head football coach here at Minnesota and more supportive of the existing coach?

    Holtz. Hmmm. The one thing he did was resurrect excitement. I had season tickets as a student for six years, from the fall of 1978 thru the fall of 1983. The last Salem season, the 1-10 year, ALL excitement had left the nearly moribund Metrodome. We were losing most of our games by 50 or so...

    Why not be more skeptical of a newly hired head football coach here at Minnesota and more supportive of the existing coach?

    Stewart Mandel has the Gophers finishing 5-7 overall.

    Seems to me that 8-4 is more likely than 5-7. Maybe Mandel knows more than I do. But I hope not.

    You would think the news media might notice that the University of Minnesota seems to "stumble on" a lot of very very good running backs, from all over the country, for like the last 20-25 years, really. Nahhh - it is just an accident.......

    Reusse: P.J. Fleck is a much better coach than Tim Brewster, but when it comes to gibberish ...

    Reusse can write quite well. He also recycles a *lot* of column ideas. And he likes tweaking us on Gopher Hole. So be it. A lot of his writing can be skimmed over........
