After coach Kill left today's Sports Huddle, Sid Hartman and Mike Max visited about Gopher football. Sid's comments:
"They'll be a lot better than people think." However, he sounded his concerns about this year's defense. Sid spoke highly of the freshmen class and the JUCOS, and as a result, he's looking forward to the 2013 season. Additionally, he sees the Gophers going 6 and 6 this season and playing in a bowl game. The additional practices in bowl preparations is extremely important in a team's progressive development.
Sid then talked about Iowa and Wisconsin selling out their large stadiums and Minnesota not selling out TCF Bank Stadium. As a result, the Hawkeyes and Badgers have more money than the Gophers for recruiting and amenities. Sid and Mike Max are perplexed as to why the students don't support the Gophers and why they don't attend the games now that the Gophers are back on campus.
Topic of discussion turned to athletic facitlities or lack thereof. Sid is in favor of a football facility next to the stadium. He went on to enumerate facilities that are degrading and the importance of improving current structures and having new facilites for the athetic teams.
Sid said Williams Arena will be improved (they won't remove Williams Arena, but sorely needs improvements).
Sid spoke highly about Marquies Gray athletic abilities and that he believes he'll be an NFL quarterback. Max said he'll be in the NFl, however, he claims pro scouts are looking at other positions.
Go Gophers!!
