Kill can definitely coach. Just wait until he has his recruits with a few years of his coaching.



Yep

Hell of a job today.
Not big into moral victories, but this was a great effort today.

Most disappointing thing to me .. he's actually killed us a couple games
Thought he was supposed to be better. he's been putrid at times.

Thats what I keep thinking ... maybe a couple of seeing that we "have much better athletic ability" ... weren't wrong.
Our sidelines is filled with guys who LOOK like they can play, but obviously the last staff didn't get squat from them.
Earlier years when we were getting killed, you could see obvious signs that we had non-talented guys.
I don't see that as much now. I see some size, some muscle, some strut. Still seee wrong angles, and wrong reads, but at least I see better ability.

Status: offline 		While I don't expect the Gophers to win, and would bet against them even with the spread if I were forced to place a bet, it is not completely out of the realm of possibility that they steal the Axe. This doesn't seem to be the same team that had ZERO chance of getting the jug when they lost 50 whatever to 0 against Michigan. They seem to have figured out some things since then.

Could it still be a blowout? Sure. But it could also be a competitive game like the last two weeks against two good football teams. They played Michigan State down to the wire on the road, and MSU is every bit as good as Wisconsin. In fact they beat Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago.

Nelson and West advance to the Dome for the 4A title game.

Status: offline 		Agree SteveO
COMPLETELY different league than the Gophs, imo.
Wisconsins roster looks NFL-like
I'm still shocked they dropped two games this year. Running the table would not have shocked me one bit on their part.

Embarassing.
That hadn't been happening lately.

There's kids in every dorm can kick better than we have this season. Unacceptable.
