Even if he backs out from USC, he isn't coming here. He is a big time recruit and he will go to a big time program, which Minnesota hasn't been since the mid 60's.

Now if they can only pull their heads out and get the offense figured out.

http://www.startribune.com/sports/gophers/91571939.html?elr=KArksi8cyaiUqCP:iUiacyKU7DYaGEP7vDEh7P:DiUs

University of Minnesota junior Gary Tinsley, 20, set to be a starter at linebacker this year for the Gophers, is facing the possibility of being charged with a number of offenses following an arrest in southeast Minneapolis early Sunday morning.
Two of those potential charges are felony counts of fleeing police, on a motor vehicle and on foot. Other possible charges included driving while intoxicated and reckless driving.

Status: online 		One of the reasons that people give for following college sports rather than professional sports is the "purity" of the sport, where players play for the love of the game, not the money and all that rot. As more and more college players are exposed as thugs and criminals, the college atmosphere becomes completely tainted.

I'm embarrassed by all of the arrests and problems in both the football and basketball programs.

When shit like this happens from one coach to the next including a drunken encounter that winds up with someone shot in the leg outside a night club, a passed out woman being raped while it gets recorded on a cell phone or an 18 year old freshman player gets shot to death in the early hours of the morning, it's God damned tragic.

It's a damm moped that goes about 30 mph. I'll bet you see way more of this with other college kids that you do with football players. If you weren't doing that at their age then I guess you were a wall flower

Not to mention fleeing police is technically a felony. The difference is that I was not representing my school. If you look at Tinsley in a vacuum, it's no big deal. Against the back drop of one thing after another, year after year, including, shootings, sexual assaults and murders, it's a problem.

Status: offline 		A lot of Gophers get a look at this year, some as drafted players, some as FA signings and some just tryouts.

Besides wide receiver Eric Decker being drafted by the Broncos and linebacker Nate Triplett by the Vikings, six other Gophers signed free-agent contracts. This could be the biggest number in many years to get that opportunity. Tight end Nick Tow-Arnett went to Dallas, linebacker Simoni Lawrence to St. Louis, punter Blake Haudan to Carolina, cornerback Traye Simmons to San Diego, defensive tackle Garrett Brown to Kansas City and offensive lineman Matt Stommes to Denver. Jeff Tow-Arnett is going to get a tryout with Tampa Bay. And Gophers coach Tim Brewster reported that more than one team is talking about a contract with defensive back Marcus Sherels and linebacker Lee Campbell. Sherels is getting a tryout with the Vikings, but that deal doesn't include a contract yet.


The San Francisco 49ers signed safety Tramaine Brock, who played for the Gophers in 2008 but was academically ineligible for 2009. ... Alex Daniels, a Gophers fullback in 2006 who finished his college career as a defensive end with the Cincinnati Bearcats, signed with the Oakland Raiders.

Status: offline 		Exciting news out of Gopher football camp today ...
Coach Brewster announced already that Adam Weber will start at QB in the season opener Sept 2nd.
Not kidding.
Gray will back up and and Alipate is the third-stringer.
This is starting to enter "crazy Jim Wacker" territory.

Better news is all of the Gophers having an opportunity to make a NFL team

Sheriels, both Tow-Arnett's, Triplet and didn't Simone Lawrence sign?

I can't/will not hope for an injury...especially to a college kid....so.....will Weber have the decency to just step aside? Focus on studies? Do it for the good of the team, man!
