There are seventeen seniors on the Gopher roster. What a journey these kids have been through. Some were recruited by Mason's staff. Others came in with a new coach. They've gone from the dome to TCF, and survived numerous coordinator changes. They are a hodgepodge of athletes that don't...
Udefeated aspirations
A little article I pulled off of Yahoo. We appear to be a very important game for them.
This really is a great way to start off the year, both teams with so much to prove. It really should be a great game.
I'm kind of scared to open this dialogue up because of the numerous idiots on the board who've got this strange idea that Brewster is purposefully choosing the worst choice for QB in Adam Weber.
But let's assume, that Brewster likes his job and actually starts the guy he thinks is most prepared...
Man I didn't like the guy. I didn't like him when he got hired, didn't like him when he was interviewed after, didn't like his scheme. And I thought he had man breasts.
I'm glad he's gone.
I just had to say that. Carry on.
Since we're actually starting to get close to the season maybe we could start talking football. Maybe even without flaming and other unnecessary deriding of our Gopher Squad.
So I'll start a thread about the WR's.
McKnight seems to feel like he's somewhat proven enough to lock down a starting...
I'm really excited about this year. Not because I think we're going to win the Rose Bowl or take a shot at a national championship or anything outlandish like that. In fact I'll probably predict the worst record outside of Brews fiirst year for the last twenty.
What I'm excited about is that...
Not in an expanding Big Ten way, but I didn't like Fisch at all. I like Horton. He has all the skills that made the Fisch hire such a disapointing one to me. The teaching aspect of college football is so undervalued and so important. This fit feels right.
I can't believe I have to wait...
A big part of what makes this site fun are our visitors from other teams that like to stir the pot. My favorite of course are those poor souls who actually believe they can show up on our site and reason out why they are better than us and are bewildered at the less than friendly response...
I've heard we have some weirdos about.
I understand there is a fan club with a home erotic fixation about Hoffarber.
Is this true?
Let yourselves be known!
Thanks to fellow posters I was able to procure a formula similar if not exact to the rivals formula used to Rank the recruiting classes of NCAA football teams.
The formula as deciphered by some math wiz somewhere and not stolen from Rivals is thus:
((N/(N+50)) * H) + ((50/(N+50)) * L) = R...
So who do we think is the most improved player this year.
Nominees??
NTA, Nate Triplett, Stoudermire, McKnight, Jacobs, McKinley, Ellestad, Collado, Haudin.
Others?
Triplett is my vote. Although Ellestad is a good second.
Thoughts on the most impactful freshmen of the year.
Nominees??
I should include JUCOs but I won't as they're not freshmen. If I did I most certainly would include Wills as the only one that started all year.
Carter, Cooper, Tinsley, Whaley, Gray, Allen, Wilhite. Anybody else with a shot...
I always like to see the story within the story. I like to try and find the info that is behind the story being told and to see if it might also say something interesting. Or in this case shed light on an often talked about subject. The expectations of Freshmen.
One of the arguments against...
I don't know if this has been posted but here is a link to Rivals Big Ten All Conference teams.
Decker first team WR
Haudin 2nd team Punter

I found it very interesting that Brewster has decided to keep the seniors in the weight room during the first week of Bowl practice and go exclusively with the underclassmen for regular practice.
I have my own thoughts on this. Anybody else have any?
I thought I'd do a little study and analyze the strength of the defenses we faced and how well we compared. I knew our SOS was significantly tougher than any other team in the Big Ten but it was tough to quantify what that meant. So I took a peak and compiled some numbers.
I'm not sure what...
I'm having a really difficult time finding something to build from. For a while, I thought I was seeing a semblance of game plan but it never materialized and so I doubt it was there. What strength does this offense have that would show that we can build something useful next year? Anybody...
