I know they are on campus today, but does anyone know when the Gopher preview will air? Thanks.
Also, 2009 Halloween game on at 6:30 tonight! Even I can't deny AW's performance in that game.
5:00 central time tonight. Not sure why they don't say what team is being covered in the show description. It's listed just as a generic BTN Live show.
Our favorite writer Dienhart's impressions from camp. No mention of Antonio Thompson.

The d-line should be good. Nice depth. And three starters are back. Too bad Ra’Shede Hageman isn’t one of them. End Theiren Cockran is a 6-6 angular rusher off the edge with long arms. Michael Amaefula is undersized on the other end. But he’s quick. And productive. Scott Ekpe is a try-hard tackle. Ditto Cameron Botticelli. True freshman Brandon Lingen came in as a tight end but has moved to end. He’s big, fast and will grow. Coaches love his potential. Steve Richardson is a big-time true freshman who will play.
Has Dienhart done it again with this comment?
Not to mention that D-line is arguably the biggest question mark/worry on this team behind quarterback. And we have very little depth which he claims otherwise.
I think Dienhart uses "hitting the sled" as a euphemism for fapping:
"Hitting the sled. Nothing better than watching the big fellas fire off and pound the iron."
Not sure if he like Richardson, or thinks he won't hit the books hard:
"Steve Richardson. He is just 6-0, but he’s an animal. If he was 6-5, he would be at a school like Notre Dame. No matter, the guy can play."
And this is professional writing at its best:
"Few staffs have as good of chemistry."
Regarding ML7 (who apparently has lost a couple of inches):
"But his arm is underrated. He needs to learn to trust it." - Is he saying that Mitch underrates his own arm?
No really...this is his entire discussion on Campbell:
"I fell in love with De’Vondre Campbell last year. He’s a 6-5 pterodactyl. My opinion has changed. He has those long arms."
My head hurts too much to dig any deeper on this "analysis".
We return 3 starters including an All Big Ten DE and two other guys who will be in their third year starting plus 3 more guys with significant playing time for at least two years yet it is the second biggest question mark? It is a strength no doubt. I don’t see how you can discredit the entire line simply because the two backup DT spots are up in the air.

Watching the 2011 Iowa game again was a lot of fun. The Kirksey fumble recovery, surprise onside kick, and 4th down TD run by Gray at the end, all great moments. The excitement on the sideline that game was incredible. To keep the guys together like that after getting outscored 144-31 in the previous three Big Ten games was pretty remarkable.
I had forgotten how good of a WR McKnight was. He didn't put up huge numbers, but he was very good.
Yep Gopher football tweeted it out about 20 minutes ago. Could be quite a few different uniform combinations if they use the white helmets too.Woah, did anyone notice the new helmet next to the Maroon one, is that a new one they going to wear in select games.

Thank you. We lost Hageman, but as folks on this board remember from the countless posts last year, he didn't play 50% of the time due to the rotations this staff uses. Our DL will be fine. Our D will be fine. Passing game is the only thing I lose sleep over.

2009 Michigan State game starting now on BTN. This was the game where the atmosphere of the new stadium really clicked for me. So much fun being there.
Another showing of the Gophers 90 minute turn on BTN Live is airing right now on BTN. Imo, much better viewing than a bunch of 2nd & 3rd team shrubs in the Viking/Cardinals game.
That was my first game at TCF Bank Stadium. So much fun is right!
I had also forgotten how undisciplined that team was, the number of penalites was astonishing.Despite mn winning the Msu game, it was still frustrating to watch the brewster staff under utilize gray's talents. Putting gray in for 1 play at a time was asinine. Brewster was clearly in over his head.
