Hearing rumors of possible adjustment problems with Coach Claeys has me concerned. I met him at 2 bowl games and there is little question in my mind that he was a gentleman and a fine coach. I do not like the way he was treated by, especially, President Kaler. The termination, however, was...

We've made a great move with our HC. We've made several stellar moves with assistants. We've had very good news with recruits. Most importantly our Admin has put the money where their mouths are. What's next? Well first, we get through NSD. If we can add just 1 or 2 key additions to what...

Football at Minnesota has been treated like an ugly stepchild. Under respected and used as the funding mechanism for the rest of the athletic department. Then Mason forced the new stadium...and got fired before it was done. Then Kill forced the new Athletes Village and football practice...

Are the Gophers pursuing a JC quarterback in this class? It doesn't look like we have a real gem ready to slide in as a starter.

Armstrong carried off the field at end of 1 st half. Tackled late going out of bounds. KO'd but seemed all right being put into ambulance.

There is a separate thread here about coaches who get more with less and less with more. Tracy Claeys should be at the top of the list of great coaches with talent that was not highly recruited. Only a handful of the current Gopher roster were really sought after by "Helmet" schools. Green...

Listened to him on the XM PGA tour channel. They were talking about preparing for the Ryder Cup and he talked about his pre game routine. He said he would get the entire team to lie on the floor the night before a game. He would turn out the lights for about a half an hour with the purpose of...

Win. Yeah, I know, but boy was this a challenge to watch. 3 targeting calls and each one a good call. Offense looked pretty ****ty, mostly because that vaunted bigger, stronger & meaner offense was only bigger. But I put most of the blame on the OC. OSU had 9 in the box and he kept...

When might an announcement be forth coming?

One of my Son-in-law's best friends just died of a major heart attack. His friends are almost all Florida Gators. The funeral will be Friday for a joint funeral/tail gate party. "It's what he would gave wanted!" Be a real downer if Michigan beats 'em, eh?

Congrats on our new HC's first win. But...c'mon now Tracy, that outfit? You have to be kidding, right? We have recruits in the house and recruits watching? With the natural body insulation you have and you dress up like you are going snowmobiling at lake Vermilion? Bud Grant had to have...

Any word on injuries last night? I don't recall seeing any. Hope that's correct, it would certainly be nice to have 1 game injury free.

Well, we've got a football program moving quickly up. We've got a tough year driven by an almost unfathomable injury rate and a killer schedule. We've got a super incoming class and a groundbreaking ceremony in two days that we've been waiting for for 15 years. Now we have a fired AD. We...

Watching BTN tonight and Deinhardt mentioned that Mitch is healthy this week for the first time thus year. WHAAAAT?? This is news to me! Has anyone else heard about Mitch being hurt?

I've rewatched this game twice now and I'm seeing it a lot differently. First and foremost, you cannot watch what our offense did after the first quarter without note of what the defense was doing. Our defense had the best game for the maroon & gold perhaps in a generation. A defensive...

Who recruited our QB's that throws ducks where the receivers ain't? Who recruited our receivers that cannot get open against a low tier MAC team? Who recruited and coaches our O Line? Who created the game plan that today defied belief? Who should go? That guy!

We learned lots of things today but 2 of them are unmistakable. First, it is no longer possible for the coaching staff to believe that Mitch is capable of playing at the level needed by a B1G team hoping to win their division. Second, our game plan is inadequate to produce an adequate offense...

Kill has said several times recently that you win with defense and that's why we concentrated our recruiting on that side of the game. What exactly does that mean? Did he tell Limegrover to not try hard until we get our defense in and coached up? This doesn't make any sense. It's not like a...

This may be the key game for our season. NWU has had our number under Fitz. Both are coming off very big wins. What does Minn have to do to win this game? We need to run better than Wisconsin. They had a lot of yards, but most was in a few long runs. We will need to consistently get 4 and...

Has a bye week ever come at a better time? HUGE victory with several players in the game on 1 1/2 legs, playing on guts. Time to heal, time to celebrate and maybe most importantly time to come back to earth. How often have we all seen a team on the rise win a huge game only to crash back to...
