Well when the article first was posted caption of the picture of Ed Olson said "Matt Olson". So it was just a name on his mind, apparently...
 

1500: Breaking down the Gophers K/P: Punting unit desperate for improvements

Jerry Kill's take on ... the "U" punters

"We'll have a lot of competition at punter, because we're going to make sure we're better in that phase, because it cost us a lot of yards and we expect to be better at it. From protection to snapping to punting the ball, we've just got to be better at it."

Go Gophers!!
 





Is it just me or are there fewer practices open to the public than last year? From a fans standpoint, it seems kind of counterintuitive that the only public scrimmage is behind held on a weekday morning.

I don't remember actual public scrimmage but I am quite sure it was longer. If I had to guess I would say that it was at least two weeks. I do remember going three practices and there was at least four or five days between those practices.
 

Could be that they have to spend less time working on fundamental aspects and can get into game planning earlier this year, meaning they're closing the practices earlier.
 



Didn't they add some open practices after things got started last year because it was pretty popular?

Fundamentals got me thinking about the following...

What happened to Gopher Football Webisodes? I think they should bring it back.

The Webisodes were produced with a major donation by the Goal Line Club, at the request of the football program and Coach Kill. The football program has asked that the big 2012 donation be spent on additional heated benches and specialized exercise equipment. I think last year was a "PR" year, and this is a "hardware" year. The money is spent 100% at the request and discretion of the football program.

In case you wonder what the GLC has contributed to over the years...

I think he preferred the virtue of 'variety is the spice of life'. Sucks for a football team but he didnt know or agree with that.

Your comment sparked a question in me. Should Minnesotans doff their caps when singing the Rouser? Have they ever (like a hundred years ago)?
