What he says about Weber
The Vikings' quarterback question remains unanswered, but for the Gophers, there is no question.
"Adam Weber is the starter, without question," coach Tim Brewster said.
Weber has impressed Brewster in offseason workouts.
"He has been outstanding; he has tremendous leadership," Brewster said.
The Gophers begin workouts on Monday. The top running back question, though, still needs to be answered.
"There is competition there between (Duane) Bennett, (DeLeon) Eskridge and (Kevin) Whaley," Brewster said. "Those are the three guys in the mix for that job."
What he says about TCF Bank Stadium and Siebert Field
On some luxury suite seats inside the Gophers' new TCF Bank Stadium are inscribed the words to "Minnesota Rouser."
Now that the University of Minnesota has completed its requirement of privately raising $86 million for its TCF Bank Stadium, it's looking for an elite gift to begin a $15 million private fundraising drive to replace the Gophers' Siebert Field for baseball.
A best-case scenario would be to break ground next June. Plans are for construction in two phases. The first would be the playing surface, which would be lowered from its current site. The second phase would include indoor batting cages and a training room.
