    Dish Network and BTN

    Anybody know the real story about Dish and BTN? Dish claims BTN dropped them. BTN says Dish dropped them. I can't find any independent news reports that tell exactly what is going on or if there's any chance for a resolution any time soon. I managed to watch the Western Michigan game on...

    The Gophers Will Be Better When...

    The Gophers will be better THIS YEAR if and when... (1). Gray gets more comfortable with being back at quaterback and the new playbook so he finally stops thinking and just plays. When the game slows down for him, we could see the star quaterback we've been hoping for. (2). Just as with Gray...

    Herbstreit Tough On Tressel

    Kirk Herbstreit says Tressel has given Ohio State a "black eye," that it will be hard for Ohio State to move ahead with Tressel (especially with recruiting), and that if John Cooper had done the same thing he would have been fired - in front of a firing squad. Another story - forget where I read...

    "Lowering Expectations"

    Whenever Kill talks about how this team needs to get stronger, faster and tougher, many in the media and on this board say that he is attempting to lower the public's expectations. However, I think the people who make this claim are viewing the situation through the prism of the past instead of...

    The Tressel Emails

    In the news conference the other day Tresel claimed he kept quiet because (1). he was scared for his players (2) his players were involved in a federal drug case (3). he was supposed to keep everything quiet because it was an on-going case. (These are my interpretations of what he said or was...

    Despite a thread on here saying that Miles is going to Michigan, the Michigan Rivals site is announcing that Miles is staying at LSU.

    Commits With No BCS Offers

    Though Kill and his staff have been here just a short time and have to recruit in the middle of winter, some on this board are critical of bringing in commits with no other BCS offers. So, to gain some perspective, I checked out a handful of other Big Ten teams to see what they're doing. Take it...

    Indiana Beats Brewster Turnover Record

    And you thought Brewster's staff turnover was bad. Indiana's new offensive coordinator Brent Pease, who was hired Dec. 30 from Boise State, is returning to Boise to be their OC. This after Petersen decided to turn down Stanford.

    Recruiting Numbers

    It seems that for some reason each year there is no firm, reliable information as to how many recruits the Gophers can sign. This year I've heard it most frequently stated that we can sign 25, plus three additional in case of nonqualifiers. I've also heard that 2, 3 or "a handful" of JUCOs will...

    It Could Have Been Much Worse

    Sure, the hire of Kill is terrible and we should rip everything he's ever done, but on the plus side, at least he has some experience in the MAC. Imagine if Maturi had hired a head coach from a lower division school - say Youngstown State. That would prove the U has no interest in a winning...

    Just A Rumor

    For the few on this forum who like to try to separate fact from fiction, let's keep in mind that there is no reason whatsoever to believe the new coach coached this weekend. He may have; he may not have. With that said, it still could be anyone. By the way, I see the Utah Rivals site has a...

    Petersen Vs. Edsall

    With Petersen and Edsall being at the top of the rumor mill food chain the last day or so, I think you can use these two names to gain a little perspective about potential candidates. I've been thinking it's Petersen for most of this week, and I'd be very excited about his hire. It would be...

    June Jones: "The Program Builder"

    For all of you guys convinced that the next coach must be a program builder, I caught a little of the SMU game today, and the announcers several times called June Jones "The Program Builder." Coaching today... program builder...hmm. Still think it could be Petersen, but I thought everyone could...

    Harness The Passion

    Adam Kelly has accomplished something that I have never seen on this forum: Almost everyone here is passionately united against him. Just think of all the positives that could be acheived if that untiy and passion was channeled for something good. It's probably too late now, but it might have...

    Petersen Contacted?

    Found this in an article about possible Miami candidates in the Miami Herald: • Chris Petersen -- Boise State coach who led Broncos to a 10-1 record this season and 59-5 record since 2006. Petersen, a former offensive coordinator, runs a creative, prolific offense that is currently No. 2 in...

    Petersen And Boise St.

    Anyone know anything about behind the scenes at Boise St.? I obviously know they have a successful football program, but how about fan and administration support and the other things that would make a coach happy or unhappy? Just looked at their Rivals site and there were three guys on it and...

    Media Following GopherHole

    I mentioned this in another thread, but thought it might deserve its own. About an hour after there was speculation on GH that Maturi was on a private jet headed to Philly, I heard it on the radio, and they were basically treating it as fact. I've also noticed that when guys post links here with...

    Golden "Not A Candidate"

    To put in your "for what it's worth" file, the mods on the Temple Rivals site are claiming that a source with knowledge of the situation says Golden is not a candidate for the job. Why they need a source to say this, I'm not sure. However, I do know that the Temple AD has claimed that it is long...
