I'm watching bulemia right now.....what a sweat hog!
 

Turned it on and turned it off-the sight of enema makes me want to puke.
 


Get off the stage Pat.
 


Kill cut short since no one had questions...
 

ESPNU didn't even switch to Coach Kill. Talked about Silas Redd instead.

Kill gave intro
They asked for questions

*awkward silence*

Questions:
1. Status of the Oline (Pirsig, olson brothers, etc)
2. Kill's health
3. MarQueis

*more awkward silence*

Kill dismissed

I got distracted a bit at work, so not sure if #3 was specifically about MarQueis, but that is who he was talking about.
 

Pathetic media showing. For goodness sakes they asked a bunch of Q of the Indiana HC.

Did the Minnesota media send anyone? Easy examples of Qs to ask...

What was a Q about RB depth or WR?
Or how important was it to win Floyd 2 years in a row?

Brutal...

GM

Edit...looks like Hoke didn't talk for very long either..
 



Adam Jacobi said it was the sandwiches' faults.
 

Wow Croc shots...sad if true.

Are they that selfish/lazy? Not too hard to take a turn asking Qs out of what...20 or 30 media there?

Done ranting on this.

BTN did analysis on the Gophers. Good stuff on Gray and the lack of proven receivers. Talked about Troy S coming back and maybe helping on O and special teams. (No way he is a WR...right?)

Note: Martin didnt like the striped uni for NW. Lol!

GM
 

Felt bad for Coach Kill. He was on a island up there. Wilson from Indiana had a ton of questions. Go figure. Of course we don't get any love from from the local media, so why would we think anything different from the goofballs in Chicago
 




Interesting tidbit on a KO rule change.

The B1G official guy said for onside kicks...you can't clear out the players. I think this means the Iowa onside kick last year would be illegal this year.

Anyone hear that and agree or interpret it differently?

GM
 

Thats how i interpret it. I think its a stupid rule change. They are slowly taking special teams out of football in the name of health. The issue is i have never actually seen an injury on an onside kick.
 

Fringe bowl team has a transcript of Kill's comments if anyone is interested
 

That was tough to watch. We have reached an all- time low in terms of relevance.

May be true, but the PSU situation is distracting all the media from actually looking at the football side of the upcoming season, or anything else really so I am not surprised. All the more reason to get fired up for the season, it is about time we started earning some respect and that starts with showing progress on the field in 2012.
