what does this do to your vitriol toward Wisky...does it stay the same or lesson it? Or are u waiting to see who they hire to replace him?
To be honest, not as antagonistic toward Wisky now myself. Just more or less competitiveness remains.
I know there are those that believe there are way to many meaningless bowl games and it is all about the money. The second part is pretty much true. It is about the money, especially the money that is brought into the community the bowl is held in.
That said, with MN getting into a bowl this...
but I think the FSU game showed a little what Tubby has been trying to develop with the BB team. A whole team effort and not dependent on just one or two star players. When everything it clicking with the entire team, it is pretty much a thing of beauty.
and seeing him make that catch today at the 4, who here thinks Gray will be drafted as either a WR or TE and what round?
Though he has the build to play TE, I think he would do better as a WR, especially since he has the speed.
My thought is he is probably going somewhere in the 5th round...
Given Coach Tubby has already stated that Ellenson and Buggs will not be redshirted, he has also just mentioned somewhere he believes he has 3 1st round selections in the NBA draft in Trevor, Williams and Hollins and the simple fact BB has more players percentage-wise that get drafted early than...
Nelson should remain starter the remainder of year and get experience. Gray even when he gets fully healthy should remain at WR since that is probably what he will end up as in NFL anyway. Shortell #1 backup competing with Nelson.
1st, for those wanting Shortell, now we get to see...simple as that
2nd, having Shortell starting will give the coaches the opportunity to provide a new wrinkle or 2 to the offense. Look for Maye to be used more in a sort of Wildcat fashion since Gray's obviously not available. Don't forget...
and truly hope I am wrong, but I am a little nervous about this weeks game...I am not sure if it is due to WM being a little bit unknown or the concern that a very young Gophers team might not take this game as serious as it should. Probably the latter...Am I alone in this feeling?
