Sounds like he is all over the team at practice, that's good. Let's hope it carries over to the games as well. http://www.startribune.com/150/story/1388665.html

I'm used to not seeing all of the Gopher games, but ESPN was always good about airing many of them anyway and probably still will. Plus FSN carried many Gopher Basketball and Hockey games. We really didn't need a BTN to try and force thier way into market. 50% is FOX and Rupert Murdach trying to get into the NCAA football market. If they want in, why don't they just bid for the next contract?

Status: offline 		The whole deal with television and college football pisses me off so much, I shouldn't even get into it. I'll just get worked up! Let's just say that football (and for that matter, basketball) should be played on Saturday afternoons and local games should be televised. It's completely asinine that I can watch Kentucky vs. Whoever on Thursday night but can't watch my local team play whenever they play. It's silly to have games on at 11 AM and 9 PM anywhere. And the first few weeks are virtually unwatchable. How many 45-3 blowouts do we need? And who finds those games entertaining? Sure, we can laugh at Michigan for losing to SomecollegeIneverheardof U (ha ha ha), but the "building confidence" games bugs me and smacks of everything I disliked about Glen Mason. Sorry. I told you I shouldn't get started!

Status: offline 		August 20, 2007 Sports Illustrated cover : Michigan The Big Run for No. 1. Nice to see the cover curse still in effect. I have been at my neighbors all day and one of my neighbors was late to the picnic because he couldn't pull himself away from watching Podunk U beat Michigan. WoW! I wouldn't want to play Michigan next week. How long before Carr gets fired after this one, forget Ohio state they just lost at the big house to App state. I get the Gopher game, last one I watched was last when NDSU beat them in every aspect but final score. I was actually rooting for the Bison just so maybe it would accelerate Mason's departure. New era - Good Luck Brewster! New Gophers! What happened, I went outside for 5 minutes to help my son wash his car and we are down 7-0.

I was hoping my HDS avatar would frighten people into agreeing with everything I post...but no.
