Sometimes, when you think the ship is sinking... and you notice others abandoning the vessel, you best get yer ass overboard and save yourself.

The big problem is that Minnesota's best Lake Superior surfing is during the football season...

Not many remember Gary Russell, since he kind-of got lost in the MBIII / Maroney years... but in 2005 (which was really his only year with the Gophers because he couldn't be bothered to go to class) he was the other half of Glen's pair of 1000-yd rushers (with Maroney.) He rushed for 1130 yards...

1. Kent Kitzmann 2. Mo 3. MBIII 4. Gary Russell

Imagine what Gary Russell could have gone on to achieve with the Gophers if he'd just been able to attend his classes...

My days of caring about Bucky Irving ended long ago...

I like PJ Fleck... I don't always agree with some of his schtick, but I believe he actually lives that stuff. He believes, and that affects the type of players he brings in. I can live with that, too. PJ is never going to chase *****'s, disregarding their personal values, traits, behaviors, and...

Donating...? It's like pulling teeth to get them to pay the drivers.

Willie Howard will steer him away from Minnesota...

This is exactly why I've never complained about the players Fleck recruited, or recruitment rankings in general. PJ brings in the kind of players we can all be proud of, and I wouldn't have it any other way...

Since this has devolved into naming famous Minnesotans... they missed Tay Zonday, whose "Chocolate Rain" was one of the first Youtube viral videos. Born in Minneapolis, he was in the University of Minnesota's American Studies Ph.D. program when he had this massive hit.

Whiffing on Herb Brooks was a travesty since he's arguably the most famous former University of Minnesota coach... I mean, he was portrayed in a major motion picture by Kurt Russell! When they (obviously) get around to making a movie about PJ Fleck, who plays him? Ric Flair? He and his favorite...

Only when Greg Schiano is the head coach...

I've gotta admit, I've been paying attention to the University of St. Thomas quite a bit since they left DIII... I think MN has needed D1-AA football for many years... and when their probationary period is over, St. Thomas just might be the team we've needed. Whatever happens, it'll be interesting.

For sure... but is that due to St. Thomas, knowing that they're on probation and prohibited from post-season playoffs( for 2 more years), just keeping things on the back burner, so to speak? They don't have to make any decisions for a couple of years, at least.

Of course... It's got nothing to do with the quality of football that the Pioneer League plays, though... Rather, are the Tommies going to be willing to settle for that brand of football? Are the rest of the Pioneer schools going to put up with St. Thomas... or will they ask the Tommies to move...

Do you tell the Brady Pretzlaffs and Koi Perichs of the football world that you don't have a DC yet, but "I'm sure you're going to love playing for whomever we hire." Maybe a quick hire wouldn't have saved Pretzlaff... and maybe Koi still comes to MN... but the longer that the uncertainty...

Did Joe Rossi have to wait until after the bowl game?

PJ better be careful or the boat will sink... taking him down with it. Brewster became a joke in Minnesota because he couldn't get his coordinator situations squared away. The same could doom Fleck to a somewhat similar fate. Not nailing down the DC situation immediately was a bad move... He...

Yep... and not long ago, they were playing DIII football. In the last couple of seasons, while on probation, they've been crushing Pioneer teams (with one loss to Drake) using essentially DIII players. How long until they're politely asked to move on from the Pioneer League? If St. Thomas jumps...
