Spent some time this morning at Mahtomedi's practice with OL Tommy Olson... great kid! Said he put on 10 lbs of muscle this offseason... he'll also play DE for most snaps... but OL is his college position, specifically likely RG... but that could change.
Best quote was when he talked about...
Brewster's only media availability this week is today... was producing our 6p and 6:30p hits... but just listened back to what my photojournalist got.
**IF Royston plays vs. MTSU, he'll be very limited... maybe Kim's dad can chime in with more... he has been doing more in practice... but Brew...
Shameless plug: we (Ch. 5) were the only station at Adam Weber's speech to the Bel Air elementary school graduates this morning in the Mounds View school district. We'll run a little on that at 6:20.
Sunday night at 10:45 p.m. on Channel 5, Brewster joins Joe Schmit in-studio. I'll also have an extended piece on Tyler Cropsey's special friendship with Matt Garin. Tune in if you can.
In a time of lots of negativity surrounding the team (yes, I'm guilty at times), the friendship of Matt Garin and Tyler Cropsey will make you feel good to support the Gophers.

The best part of today was seeing the excitement on honorary waterboy Tyler Cropsey's face. Tyler & Matt Garin have been friends for a long time, going back to their Eastview days. Tyler doesn't let Down Syndrome get him down. Coach Tim Brewster was nice enough to let him address the team on the...
Always open to suggestions ... Brewster on with me and John Hanson Thurs. morning at 8:05a on AM-1500 ... plan on getting injury updates, QB battle update, offensive tweak updates, guys who are surprising, etc.
Sometime in the 7a hour tomorrow (Thurs.) morning, new offensive coordinator Jeff Horton will join John Hanson (Twin Cities Live fame and former long-time sports radio host in Vegas) and I on ESPN Twin Cities ... 1500 on your dial, or at am1500.com.
Hope many have a chance to listen ... It...
Sean on the visit with coach Brewster last night: "We had a good time." Sean on Seantrel's choice: "(He is) torn." ... said the decision has not been made yet ... likely will be made on Wed. morning.
We plan on having Sean & Seantrel on Sports Wrap (Ch. 5) next Sunday.
One side note: Did a...
Caught up with a coaching friend of mine who happens to know Horton well ... here is what he passes along.
Great guy, great coach. QB specialist who understands all aspects of the game. Has been a head coach twice. Did a great job bringing Matthew Stafford along (you could see stafford's...
I am far from the first or second or third person to cite Chris Meidt's name, but did hear this morning that the steam following him is very legit ... if hiring someone from the Zorn's staff in Washington, why not just make a run at Zorn (may not have his degree though ... anyone know for sure?) ???
Danny O'Neil is a good reporter ... Fisch expected to take Seattle QB job ... oh goody, Weber might have his 4th off. coord. in 5-years.
