Gophers Might Want to Consider Multiple Firings

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:01:01 +0000

If you were within earshot of the University of Minnesota on Saturday afternoon, that tapping sound you heard might have been Athletic Director Joel Maturi pounding a nail into the coffin of Tim Brewster's coaching career. After another embarrassing display by his offense in Iowa City, the Tim Brewster experiment could likely to over. The Gophers have looked lost and undisciplined on offense in the vast majority of their games. The first string offense failed to score a touchdown in four games this season. No matter what level of football you're at, that is unacceptable. With a new offensive coordinator in Jedd Fisch, some struggles were to be expected. Fans can excuse the occasional fumble of interception, what they can't handle is the continuous parade of stupid penalties and the constant mismanagement of the clock, resulting in wasted timeouts and pointless delay of game penalties. Someone has to be accountable for those errors, so the lion's share of the blame falls on Brewster's ...

The 10 Greatest Gopher Football Players of All Time

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:15:25 +0000

Though the University of Minnesota has suffered through some less than stellar seasons over the years, the program has still put some amazing players on the field. Despite a Rose Bowl drought that is nearing 50 years, the program has still managed to produce a fair amount of NFL-level talent. As the 2009 season winds down, it's a good time to take a look at the 10 greatest players to ever suit up for the Gophers football team. I tried to look at team success as a measure of deciding which players deserved to make the cut, but in some cases, the individual's performance couldn't be ignored, no matter how poor the Gophers' record was during that particular season. Nonetheless, my final list is still a little heavy on players from the earlier eras of college football. The stats aren't very impressive by today's standards, but college football was a different game back then. Due to the program's recent struggles, it's quite easy to forget what a national power the University of Minnesota once was. ...

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:13:34 +0000

The Iowa Hawkeyes are getting ready for the biggest weekend of their season thus far. A home game against Minnesota is the last chance they have to potentially earn a bid for a share of the Big Ten title after two straight losses to Ohio State and Northwestern. Now, arguably the biggest weekend of the season just got a little bit bigger. Seantrel Henderson, the nation's top prospect according to Rivals.com, will be visiting Iowa City this weekend to watch the Hawkeyes finish out their regular season against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. It does not end there. Four-star tight end prospect C.J. Fiedorowicz, a 6'7" pass catching specialist out of Illinois, will also be making an appearance in Iowa City after already verbally committing to Illinois earlier this season. Henderson, and offensive lineman out of St. Paul, MN is a massive offensive lineman prospect who has received offers from nearly every major program in the country. At 6'8", he has the frame to grow and become a dominant ...

Gophers linebacker Maresh suspect in assault
