I was really quite shocked actually. I was expecting some actual analysis of the game and discussion. I should have known better in retrospect. Souhan was subbing in for Dubay today. It was awful.
The biggest part of his argument was saying that Coach Claey's would not have left Phillip Nelson in during the Iowa game and would have pulled him for Mitch Leidner. He argued this by saying that Coach Claeys pulled Leidner at perfect times in the Northwestern and Nebraska game and he would have done the same thing and pulled Nelson in the Iowa game.
Frankly, I didn't care to listen to it. I was looking forward to some analysis about the game and to see how the local media viewed the upset. I got none of that. I heard "great gameplan" and "I'd draft Hageman to my team." Analysis that my little sister could have made.
On the flip side, the Ruesse & Mackey show was so much better. Talking stats and how the game played out. They spent maybe two minutes comparing Coach Kill to Coach Claeys and the rest of the time was about the game. I'm warming up to Ruesse. He seems like he really wants to see the Gophers succeed, he is just pretty dry and blunt when they aren't. I can get that. I like Phil Mackey for the most part too.
EDIT: Another one of Judd's arguments was that Claey's calm demeanor allows him to make better decisions, while Jerry getting hot headed so often causes him to make decisions based on emotion and not with his head.
