Yep, its a daunting job.
if you follow up mason with Kill ... it wouldn't have been.
The snake-oil salesman years killed us.



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Football (10/26/2011 9:35:22 AM)

And it sounds like things will get worse before they get better, losing scholarships looks like a reality. Not good, when rebuilding an empty program.
We'll need oe good kids to walk-on instead of taking a ride at the USDs or UNDs ...... here's where the decisions and the pursuits (of the RIGHT guys) will get crucial.

How will school lose scholarships. They haven't broken any rules

Grades.

Yep. I think if the program doesn't maintain certain minimum standards the program gets penalized scholarships.

Never heard of that. Then teams like Miami & Fla should have no scholarships



Jeff Jesser -> RE: Gopher Football (10/27/2011 11:10:14 AM)

pretty hard to fail


pool
advanced ping-pong
gym
study hall
ect....



panndder -> RE: Gopher Football (10/27/2011 2:04:20 PM)

All jokes aside about about athletes, they have to be on a track to complete their [likely easy] major in 5 years. I know that sounds easy, and probably wouldn't be tough for most of us, but it's not like they're taking a bunch of gym classes. They're taking ~3 real classes per semester.



Karl H -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2011 5:13:43 PM)

21-16 Hawks midway thru the 4th.....



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2011 5:37:54 PM)

The offense comes thru...the special teams comes thru....and the defense finishes the deal? This is amazing!!! Guess it's not over yet.



Steve Lentz -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2011 5:43:11 PM)

How SWEET was that.     UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!



Steve Lentz -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2011 5:48:33 PM)

Kill and the Gophers certainly needed something positive to happen. Lot's of excitement at the stadium. Love it!



twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2011 5:50:38 PM)

I will really try to enjoy this for a full week. Then we can get back to reality. [&:]



panndder -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2011 5:57:58 PM)

We all know it's a lost season, but we need things to get people excited about the program. This definitely helps. Congrats to Kill, he deserves what he gets.



Jim Frenette -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2011 6:10:15 PM)

Since I've been a hard critic of Gray, I have to admit he had a great game. Maybe he became a division 1 QB today



Karl H -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2011 6:54:45 PM)

Yep, Gray's best game.......... 'bout time he puts together one like this. 

Still too many mistakes (a couple of RB fumbles, chop blocks, other ill-timed penalties)...and Coker runs for 252.  But somehow we win.  Hopefully the coaches are finally figuring out how get these guys playing to their potential.  Give Kill a 100 year contract and maybe we beat Wisky!

Anyone know if Stoudemire can redshirt this year?

Where is SoMnFan???



Lynn G. -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2011 7:07:15 PM)

It's so rare these days to get a happy ending for a Minnesota sports event. Way to go Gophers!



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2011 7:09:24 PM)

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Awesome baby!
I'm still giddy.
I love beating Iowa.
GREAT win for these kids that work so hard, and get very little success.
AWESOME win.



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2011 7:11:16 PM)

You HAVE to feel good for Kill and all of them today, and with usual class .... he gives it all to the kids and to the fans (who were GREAT)
See that sideline jumping up and down late?
I still have chills, THATS what college FB needs ot be about for students and players.



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2011 7:30:31 PM)

LOVED the on-side  and the execution of special-teams play all day. WITH a new kicker even!
I love that they had a 2pt play ready to roll, (with Shortell) even tho it failed.
This is a very innovative coaching staff, starting to see those little things that mean a lot to me.



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2011 7:39:59 PM)

I had completely forgotten about this kid. Wow.

Great post Patrick
Baby steps.
It may look goofy for others outside the state to see us celebrating like idiots, but its all we got right now ... baby steps.



SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Football (10/29/2011 9:18:42 PM)

I'll say it again ... how the hell did we stay with USC?
That is a very very good team.
Loaded. Showing it again tonight.
