Between this conversation and Horton's it is like they are building the ground work to prepare people that Weber is going to be our starter.
 

Another thing that might be telling is how "excited" he is about the freshman running back. Hopefully one of them turns out to be the real deal.

Looks like a lot of hard liquor and booing for me again this season......
 


Hard liquor I can see but what does booing get you, feel better about yourself?

Sorry but I don't see the point of booing the team, it sends the wrong message. If I was a recruit and was at a game when the crowd boo'd constantly, well it would be an easy decision.
 

I will boo every time Weber touches the ball if he starts

I didn't get that at all. He was complimentary of all three QBs. It was exciting to hear him talk about the D-linemen and LBs. Anyone know what KGM is weighing in at? Brewster mentioned he was ready to play but could use some more strength. I want to hear him talk about Hageman more as well.
Also, what's the story with Aaron Hill? I don't know much about him. Is he realistically looking at challenging for PT?

It's great to hear Brewster say Bennett has gotten faster. If he has a better burst he could be a very serviceable back. I think (hope) Devon Wright is going to be our stud back of the future.

Maybe for you. Some recruits want to win and aren't satisfied with a half-assed performance on the field.
 

PP, that should be good entertainment. Bankonit is 6-8 and will pound you into your strap on seat-back. Should be good entertainment even if the games aren't any good, similar to last year, I might add.

I had that impulse last year several times. There were people in the student section booing Weber in the first quarter of close games (some of which the Gophers ultimately won). A friend of mine and I told them all to calm down and back off. Next thing I knew Weber hit Decker for a 50 yard gain and the Purdue route was on. It never pays to turn on your own team.

I don't want Adam Weber to be the starting QB anymore, but I have nothing but respect and admiration for how he has conducted himself on and off the field.

There is nothing that irritates me more than when fans boo specific players. It is occasionally (read, occasionally) appropriate to boo a coaching decision. But fans who boo their own players do nothing but harm the team and discourage recruits.

So booing will help them improve on their "half-assed" performances? I don't get the point of your statement.

Maybe recruits see the sucky player on the field getting booed and know they are better than that sucky player and that they won't get booed because they don't suck.

I booed Adam Weber the entire Illinois game and will boo again if he sucks nads like he did last year.

He was a redshirt freshman last year and reportedly one of the best players on scout D. He's like 6'2" 210 and a fantastic afro. I bet he plays a lot of special teams this year. Seems like a hard working kid from what I've read, might play his way onto the D, but will have to beat out the other LB's.

Hell yeah, that fro is outstanding!!! He might be my new fav. player!

I follow the Gophers pretty closely, but i had never heard anything about this guy.
 


Coach Brewster, take another look

The opening phrase about how Adam Weber is competing. And then the compliments to Moses and Apilate. And I see and read that the OL is the same old thing. I want to warn you coach, it aint going to be any different. Weber will be hesitant, double clutch his throws, and telegraph every throw. The line will be unable to provide any push. And then you throw in the comment about leadership. Well, coach where has Adam lead us?
 

Wasn't Aaron Hill a walk-on?

Easy to tell which guy you are at the games, you must be the one everyone hates and nobody wants to sit by.

Everyone must hate section 105, because it seemed like the whole section was booing Weber when we couldn't move the ball vs. 1aa SDSU!

Aaron Hill was originally a walk on, but I am 99% sure he earned a scholorship. He was the scout team player of the year last year. He is supposedly a really hard worker and just a tough kid. I think he is the perfect kind of player to be backing up guys like Tinsley, Maresh, Cooper and Reeves (who have all the talent in the world), it just reminds them, if you don't want to play hard and the right way, this kid will take your spot.

If we continue to play like we did last year we won't have to worry about recruits at games having to decide between us and other decent college football teams, they'll be deciding between us and NDSU and at that point I like our chances, booing or not.

And now booing is done strictly to feel better about ones self???? I boo because our fuc&ing team was no better than a 1AA team for the most part of last season and because I want Brewster to know I think his starting QB decision sucks, I want Maturi to know his direction of the football program sucks, and I want Bruinicks to maybe hear it and figure out something needs to be done. But yea buddy, I strictly do it to feel better about myself, you figured me out :rolleyes:

I'm sure you're in favor of last place medals and everyone getting a chance on varsity too. Hilarious how people on this board think booing is a crime, most athletic teams/fans with any standards of play will boo their team when they don't meet them. OSU fans were booing a Rose Bowl and top 10 team for most of last year, you should go on their board and tell them how disappointed in them you are, let me know how that goes.
 

Booing is entirely self centered, serves no 'greater purpose' and is particularly disrespectful to all the student athletes, student trainers, grad assisstants and parents who pour there heart and soul into the program and are dedicated at a far greater level than you. These people work hard everyday of the year to make the program better and you think that booing is how a program improves. Ignorance is bliss.

If we were talking about High School sports then yes, you have a great point. However, we are talking about a "big business" here, no matter how much you want to bring feelings into it the fact still remains these kids accept scholarships valued around $100k knowing people pay large amounts of $$ to see them perform on the field, its all part of what they signed up for, when we are talking about multi-million dollar revenue activities the golly-gee they sure played hard bull sh!t gets thrown out the window, at some point the people directing what we are paying to watch better figure it out or their "business" will go under. Whether we are booing at the direction of the program or the players themselves is irrelevant.
 

"I will boo every time Weber touches the ball if he starts"

Bankonit, are you institutionalized?
 

6'8" on a message board = about 5'8" in real life
