If gophers fans really want to show Iowa, they’ll head down there and have all kinds of extramarital sex in the public restrooms. that’ll show ‘em.

Oh come on, don’t be so harsh guys.

The Gophers, their stadium and coach are Uber-important to MN.

That’s why I paid tuition and taxes to have shiny stadium built for them.

Glen Mason had a sweet seven figure severance package.

And that’s why this new coach dude probably gets paid one of the highest salaries at the U!!

Shows where our priorities are…. no need to spend the money on grad students and research which actually trains students to do something useful with their lives.

Probably shouldn’t even go into the former players who have been convicted of cheating in classes, rape, etc…

Kinda like the rolling your spartans did at home vs the CHIPPEWAS?

I kid. The gophs would probably have trouble with a MAC team or two or three. But if memory serves, the only team State has rolled this year is Montana State in E Lansing.

Time for the gopher fans, especially the students, to show up and help the gophers beat a team that is probably better talent-wise and on paper. That along with a decent showing in Iowa City will help brewster save some face.

Then – and only then – I too will admit thats (sic) good.

@justpbob: You’d think with all the medical and computer research that goes on at the U they would’ve figured out how to clone Murray Warmath by now!

Time to bring back the old Big 10 tradition of ritually executing coaches who have three consecutive loosing seasons in front of a chanting crowd. Just kidding…today the media slays the coaches.

The gophers traded mediocrity for hope when they sent Mason packing and hired Brewster. Is Brewster a lot of bluster? Sure.

He’s the kind of coach that needs to surround himself with really good coordinators, and I’d say the biggest fault in the program is not having the OC/DC positions solidified. They’ve been anything but solid, and of course Brewster isn’t without blame there.

This town/state loves a bandwagon to jump on and the gophs haven’t provided that in Brewster’s tenure. Very few rational people expected this season’s record to be much different than where they’re at, but the game on Saturday night could have huge implications for Brew’s future.

I still don’t see him out after this year barring a major meltdown. But hovering around .500 and losing to rivals won’t cut it long term.

But come on, Sparty’s gonna “ROLL” them? In extra scary CAPSLOCK?

Thats the double edged sword of sales though, you can be all smiles and pronouns till you stop delivering on your promises. Then you go from “everybody’s best friend” to “that slimy salesman” in an instant.
