Forgive me if you covered this weeks ago (obviously I never saw it if you did), but does everyone recall the following paragraph from the Star Tribune prior to the Insight Bowl:
Minnesota quarterback MarQueis Gray is expected to see increased playing time at both wide receiver and quarterback in the Insight Bowl against Iowa State. "We're going to try to wear him out pretty good," Brewster said of Gray. "He's going to play a whole bunch."
While watching the Bowl game I never got the impression that Gray was playing a whole bunch or being worn out. Unfortunately, Coach Brewster seems to unnecessarily commit himself in a variety of situations. For example, at the end of his first season, Coach Brewster said (and I quote): "Adam Weber is going to be an outstanding Big Ten quarterback for the next three years". Immediately after hearing that, I sent Coach Brewster an email suggesting that he implicitly handed Weber the job and may have sent the wrong message to the other quarterbacks at the time (I was obviously mostly referring to his son). Lo and behold, his son transfers schools, although it was probably for other reasons, of course. The point is, why say it on the radio? Can't he just keep certain thoughts in his head? Or what about his "kill shot" quote regarding the hiring of Fisch? Can some of you insiders counsel Coach Brewster in this regard? Thanks.
Contrary to my only other post on this board (which was negative on Brewster), I've come full circle and now want to see what Coach Brewster can do (I've been significantly influenced by the many pro-Brewster people on this forum who appear to have played college football). In fact, I'm not opposed to giving him four more years. Wouldn't everyone on this forum, and I mean everyone, agree that seven years is enough time for Brewster to prove himself? It would answer all questions once and for all, and you guys could find something else to discuss in the meantime.
I will never be a regular poster on this board (because I'm too long winded), but many of you guys on here are witty and hilarious and I really enjoy reading what you have to say. Keep up the good work.
