    Kill addresses previous comments on Fleck: "I said my piece and that was it. I moved on...I said what I said and move on in life."

    Lets not pretend that Brewster held Weber back from making it in the NFL as a QB. The thing I will always remember about Weber is watching him during open practices and being shocked by how inaccurate many of his passes were. Even when he wasn't under pressure from a rush he had a difficult...

    Ken Osmond, who played Eddie Haskell on TV's “Leave It to Beaver,” has died, his family says. He was 76.

    You're right on the money. Just 10 minutes ago I read that several years ago TV Guide voted Eddie Haskell one of the Top 20 TV characters of all time. I also read the producers of the show originally intended Eddie to be just a one-show guest role. Ken Osmond impressed them so much with his...

    College AD's get coaching hires wrong all the time. It's nothing new. Alabama went quite a few years after Bear Bryant with one coaching miss after another. And, of course, Nortre Dame is still looking for the coach who will get them back to their former glory and start winning national...

    Thanks for posting the Limegrover article. I haven't seen it before. I always liked the guy and I like him even more now. He was being honest and spot on with his observations about Fleck and the Gopher's culture before he became coach. The culture that Coyle brought Fleck in to change was...

    Kill addresses previous comments on Fleck: "I said my piece and that was it. I moved on...I said what I said and move on in life."

    It seems the "culture" Mason established for his teams was at least partly responsible for the APR penalty the Gopher football team received during Brewster's first year in 2007.

    These are Lloyd Carr's only three APR scores at Michigan. It appears he put more "emphasis" on academics than Mason did. Football University of Michigan MI 2004-2005 952 Football University of Michigan MI 2005-2006 958 Football University of Michigan MI 2006-2007 951

    Kill addresses previous comments on Fleck: "I said my piece and that was it. I moved on...I said what I said and move on in life."

    Prior to the introduction of the Academic Progress Rates (APR) by the NCAA in 2004, I doubt most college football coaches put much of an emphasis on academics beyond making sure their players passed their courses and stayed eligible.

    Coyle: "We are not going to take the gas pedal off our football program. We want to compete at a high level."

    Good riddance to you. No one is going to miss you or care what happens to you. However, I recommend you find another state to go to. It won't be long before both Texas and Florida will be reliably liberal states that try to protect the health and welfare of ALL their citizens no matter...

    An Update From Mark Coyle - May 8, 2020

    This is Trumpster level stupid. It's not a good look, Pete.

    Jerry Kill: “I’ve been known as a fix-it guy. We’ll see if I still have that title or get fired. I’m like anybody else.”

    They don't. When evaluating and ranking Gopher football coaches the only thing that matters are Big 10 wins and losses. Glenn Mason's record as coach was 32-48.

    Jerry Kill: “I’ve been known as a fix-it guy. We’ll see if I still have that title or get fired. I’m like anybody else.”

    Get real. Kill ran his offense and Limegrover was a part-time OC who didn't even want to be that. Limey saw himself as an OL coach only. Doing both roles is too big of a job for anybody. The reason Kill wanted Limegrover as his OC was because he knew Limey would be ok with a diminished role...

    University of Arizona president says fall football increasingly unlikely, more answers needed

    It's going to be politicians and not the NCAA, football conferences, or university presidents who will have the final decision whether or not there will be college football in the the fall, and how and when it's going to be played. Governors to fans: Stay at home if you want football in 2020...

    Ex-Gopher Tyler Johnson 'shocked' by reports of character concerns

    I doubt the so-called "NFL draft experts" just make things up about college players. Their reputations and careers absolutely depend on the quality and accuracy of their analysis and predictions. One of the reasons these guys are "draft experts" is that they know and talk regularly to scouts...

    PFF: Highest graded returning B1G RBs (#1. Mohamed Ibrahim, Minn)

    I agree. Last year Mo was not only underrated by the media and fans, I believe he was also underutilized by Fleck and his coaches. The way Mo has played in the final few Big 10 games and bowl games in each of his first two seasons has been an absolute joy to watch.

    Kevin Garnett on T-Wolves' Taylor: 'I Don't Do Business with Snake Mu'f--kas'

    Count me as a long time Wolves fan and former season ticket holder who couldn't care less about the feud between Taylor and Garnett because both of them are jerks who don't deserve the admiration and support of Minnesota sports fans. Boston can have Garnett and Taylor needs to sell the Wolves...

    China's economy is going to CONTRACT by 6% for the first quarter compared with the same period a year ago. That looks like America's future for the second quarter and probably for some time after that. Coronavirus devastates China's economy and the 'nightmare' is not over China's economy...
