Exactly Jeff

Being clever when you're already down and out isn't comforting .... 



Jim Frenette -> RE: Gopher Football (11/13/2011 10:23:12 AM)

Just read that Gray had very little sleep Fri due to birth of his Twins. Well then he should have stepped back

    That's our leading tackler...by far....whiffing on the tackle.



    Gopher QB Recruit Phil Nelson had another good night, leading his Mkto West team to a dominating win over S St Paul.
    Nelson and West advance to the Dome for the 4A title game.

    state semi's



    Wilson 16-for-16 for 178 yds and 4 TDs.

    We have one guy with more than 2 sacks on the year.....and he's our MLB (with 3).  Can you believe that's an IMPROVEMENT on last year???

    You don't like Gray. We get it.



    Jeff Jesser -> RE: Gopher Football (11/13/2011 9:52:03 PM)

    You make excuses for him, we get that too. 



    TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Football (11/14/2011 8:43:59 AM)

    Who made an excuse for him Jeff? I really don't understand criticizing a guy for not saying "gee I didn't much sleep coach. I know I am the leader of the team and I ran the first team all week in practice and this is a trophy game against our arch rival, but I'm a little tired. Maybe we should give Max a shot today." That's absurd on its face and indicative of the lengths some people will go to in order to take a dig at Gray.



    Jeff Jesser -> RE: Gopher Football (11/14/2011 10:28:50 AM)

    It just goes both ways with this guy.  It's really unfair in both regards, IMHO. 

    He has been terrible pretty much this whole year but people will say it's because he's still learning ect...

    Others will defend him when there really is no defense. 

    The fact of the matter is that he's not been a college level QB at all.  A college level athlete?  Heck yeah, off the charts.   If Brewster didn't dick around with him from the get go, we may have had a hell of a starting QB. 



    SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Football (11/14/2011 10:37:23 AM)

    I was pleased ... looked like Saturday they FINALLY just said  .... "he's what we got, we're puttin the ball ni his hands EVERY play"
    he won the Iowa game that way at the end.
    Gotta do it as we transition here, from awful to getting-better. Put it in his hands and let him create.



    TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Football (11/14/2011 11:44:30 AM)

    He is playing way better now than at the start of the year. Against Iowa and Michigan State he looked like a legitimate starting Big Ten QB. I think what happened Saturday had more to do with a fired up Wisconsin team coming off a couple of tough losses to good teams than it did with Gray missing sleep.

    That and loads of superior talent across the board.

    To me, Gray is our best option. He's no world beater, obviously, but he gives you the best chance to win. Certainly a shame Brewster didn't bring him along earlier in his career.

    Run with him next year while Mankato redshirts.

    Tim I also read that in the Mich St game he took a helmet to the back and was unable to run or throw all week



    TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Football (11/14/2011 3:56:02 PM)

    His mobility was restricted. He was able to throw.



    panndder -> RE: Gopher Football (11/15/2011 10:02:57 AM)

    Reports are that Glen Mason is the new coach at New Mexico.



    SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Football (11/15/2011 10:11:38 AM)

    Thats cool.
    Still seems to have the desire.
    Decent man.



    panndder -> RE: Gopher Football (11/15/2011 1:34:56 PM)

    I guess not. Some people in the New Mexico press were talking like it's a done deal.

    SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Football (11/16/2011 8:05:52 PM)

    N Mexico hires Bob Davie instead.  Their loss.



    Dave E -> RE: Gopher Football (11/16/2011 9:27:56 PM)

    Agreed, I'd take Mason. Davie sent a lot of guys to the NFL, if memory serves -- but with all that talent couldn't put together great teams. Mason's ability to sniff out underrated talent would be a far better fit at NM.



    SoMnFan -> RE: Gopher Football (11/16/2011 9:34:00 PM)

    I've apologized a hundred times to Mason, but if that hasn't been enough, I'd do it again ...
    I was one of the first whining and bitching about him not getting us up the ladder.
    The trash we employed between then and now sure made me eat those hopes.
    I'll never miss "Mason Face" as he tried to figure out how to manage the clock ... but I do miss us at least having ONE thing to hang our hats on. (one hell of a running game)
    Couple more years of Mason, then handing things over to Kill .... wow, coulda been better for sure. Sorry, Glen.  



    JT2 -> RE: Gopher Football (11/17/2011 12:58:22 AM)

    The standards are so low that we reluctantly bring ourselves to say that Gray is "no world beater"? He is the worst QB in the conference, isn't he?

    "Mason face" [&:]  Nicely done!



    panndder -> RE: Gopher Football (11/19/2011 11:44:32 AM)

    Gray is a beast! Some amazing passes today, and willed his way into the endzone for the only touchdown. He handed Moulton a long touchdown but it slipped through his hands.



    TJSweens -> RE: Gopher Football (11/19/2011 12:57:11 PM)

    Gotta love those red zone fumbles.   [X(]



    twinsfan -> RE: Gopher Football (11/19/2011 1:12:45 PM)

    [:-] That escape and run by Gray was UNBELIEVABLE!!



    panndder -> RE: Gopher Football (11/19/2011 1:14:22 PM)

    Gray is every bit as dynamic as Vince Young or Michael Vick were. I'm completely convinced. He just doesn't have the receivers or line to make teams pay consistently. Never seen anything quite like him.
