what about simoni? wasn’t he carried off last sat?
Buck, apparently you haven’t paid enough attention to Decker hopping off the field on a bad ankle or after getting his bell rung big time, yelling at the training staff to get him patched up and back onto the field. The kid has more guts than you’ll ever know. You truly do have the intellect of a small soap dish!
This Brewster needs to win as many games at Madison as that Mason did.
Oh, I guess he already has.
HES A QUITTER AND CHEAPSHOT ARTIST DOUGY! WHERE ARE YOU SITTING ON SAT?
Observer IV,
Simoni was back on the field the very next play.
Ooooh Badger Buck talking smack on a nameless/faceless blog. What a tough guy. Wish I was as tough as you.
Wren actually made me laugh!
This is a big week for the youngsters to step up on offense, however, it is also a chance for us to see how well the coaches can put together an offensive gameplan that doesn’t revolve around Decker. Look for a few “trick” plays and a lot of misdirection in hopes of catching the WI D sleeping. It could be a long Saturday if they stick to the same plan as the last couple weeks!
No dash. That was just me. I posted under wrenagain2’s moniker the way I often do. It’s so damn easy to post under someone’s moniker. I got pissed off at wren when he was on Gopher Illustrated. I’m a big wheel over at Gopher Illustrated.
I’m a real mamms boy though. I like to type outrageous things about other people and use other people’s monikers. I am totally untrustworthy and am a real poor sport. I will try to stab anybody in the back that I think I can get by with stabbing in the back.
My family was a real mess when I was growing up…it’s really my mom’s fault. I lie and I like trying to get by with stuff.
Hey dash: Just because Mason didn’ win at Madison doesn’t mean that Brewster doesn’t need to in at Madison. Wacker won there. Both Mason and Wacker were fired. It doesn’t look good for this brewster whether he wins at Madison or not…does it dash? ;0)
Wren it is kind of hard to win at Madison when you have yet to coach a game there.
Oh, it always looks good to win at Madison, and feels even better! I know you’re being facetious in your statement that it doesn’t matter, but you and I both know that a win on Saturday would look great for this program! After all, a 4-11 Big Ten record for this Brewster is better than a 3-12 record, right Wren?
I too wonder how big Spry’s “roll” will be, and I also wonder what kind of “roll” he will be eating — perhaps one filled with some sort of jam?
Haha, I’m just messing with you — I know you write these things quickly, and everybody makes mistakes.
But that doesn’t mean it’s not funny!
I find it interesting that not many of the posters from last year are referencing Zook any longer. Ill will not be going to a bowl game this year after playing in the rose bowl last year with coach Turners players. How could all those top recruiting classes end up 5-7 in Zooks 4th year? Career 36-37 (13-23) at ILL. Add this year into that and if he does not win next year he will be gone.
Bud, most arent’t even referencing this year any longer, oh ya, with the losses come the decomitts crackerjack tim:
http://thehole84398.yuku.com/topic/8363/t/Looks-like-Brent-Singleton-will-not-be-a-Gopher.html
We could just pull out Florida’s excuse/complaint that has already caught on at Illinois. Zook is a great recruiter but a bad game day coach.
Honestly, I’m not sure what there problem is. They have great players in Juice Williams and Arrelious (sp?) Benn and a suitable cast of other WR’s/TE but they are really missing having a game changer at RB. Van De Steeg dominated the man across from him and I suspect that may be a part of the problem with their inconsistency but I haven’t seen enough Illinois games to be sure.
I thought their defense was a lot better last year too. They are missing J. Leman at LB but Vontae Davis is an absolute stud at CB.
Hey Genius-Singleton was never committed to the Gophers. Despite already having made a verbal commitment to South Carolina he made a visit to the Minnesota this past weekend. Apparently we couldn’t convince him to change his mind.
Way to read.
Can’t wait to head to Madison and watch this Brewster and the Gophers. Who wants to meet Loon and I at Woof’s for a few cold ones before the game? I’ll buy the first round!
Hijack alert…The ONLY thing that I will officially post about is the state of this brewster/dunbar/maturi/prexy b. Any of this other crap is just d_a_c/derek/recriter using a hijacked moniker. It is SO easy to do that here. Kent really will need to look into what the gi/gh people are trying to do to his blog.
And btw, it is jockstrap night at Woof’s saturday. Whether or not this Brewster can coach the lads to a victory in Madison, Loon and I will be sporting out jockstraps as token of our “support”.
Hijack alert again…you dirty trickster dude/dudettes at GI/GH think you can destroy me? You are dead wrong and I will continue to expose this Brewster for his lack of Big Ten wins. See you at Woof’s.
Madison is going to be a blast! Our group of 12 will see you two at Woof’s. Thanks for the invite!
Go Gophers!
This brewster has a Big Ten record of 3-11. That will either improve or it will bury him deeper and deeper towards the point of no return. It appears to me that unless he dumps this dunbar and this no run, easty/westy/dinky/dunky/little offense this brewster will not be around a lot longer either. Each Big Ten loss will weigh him down. A Big Ten coach must win a significant number of Big Ten games to survive.
That Mason could not win many Big Ten games and THAT was why he was canned. This Brewster better start winning more Big Ten games or else. Keep it coming you dirty tricksters…I will always be there to contrast the bitchers and the bashers, the pimpers and the pumpers…I say bring it you little dude/dudettes from gh/gi!
dac and pewterschmidt and some of us over on Gopher Hole are hoping to bring this blog of Kent’s here on the strib down. We come over here to disrupt. But, I think dac does it better than I do. I’m kind of shy and don’t really do so well at this sort of thing. I remember when pewterschmidt and I got chased around some tail gate thing in Madison a few years ago by some big guy we were being obnoxious to. Oh well, I just want to let you all know that dac is my hero and we gopher hole people will bring this site down. I just want to leave you all with a little piece of dac:

These fools always buy it when I hijack somebody’s identity and make horse-crap comments. I’m so good at being a real name-calling bastard!
My primary goal over here is to disrupt things and try to bring this blog down. I want total thought control and I will go to any lengths. I have been diagnosed as a total sociopath and I will stop at nothing. I am Recruiter. I am jimbo. I am all kinds of people. I am one of the drunk-a-logue people over on gh.
I will bring this blog down. That IS my goal. It is too hard to control thought and expression on this board. I will go to what ever lengths I have to go to so that I may destroy any point of view other than my own. I am dac!
Isn’t dac just a great disrupter? I sure hope that big guy doesnt chace pewterschmidt and me around again this year in Madion though. He even threw a beer can at us.
Contrast.
I was there and you two (kinta and pewter) were berating Coach Mason in front of the GLC master at the time. You really ticked him off and then he ran around trying to throw beers at you. His speed was not so good but I support anyone fighting the bitchers and bashers from gh/gi. Get your jock straps ready and bring it at Woof’s!
Post of the day goes to wrenagain2…the REAL one!
I will contrast you to my grave. We fired Monson for this smith and we fired Mason for this brewster…when will the wasteful spending end?
Woofs will be off the hizzy!
I have a gray beard nicely trimmed and Loon has a nicely trimmed European mustache…gray of course. Looking forward to jock-strap night…what a hoot! Just hope this brewster can win another game this year.
There is absolutely NO way the Gophers will beat Wisconsin on Saturday. Without Decker and a running game it’s not going to happen. If the greatest coach on the planet (Mase) can’t win in Madison then no one can. We’ll have to get our 8 victories against Iowa or in our bowl game.
Birdy give it a rest. If they don’t keep improving then you were right, but give the guy 4 yrs. If he can’t win by then you were right, if he does you weren’t. But quit the insessent harping every day about big ten wins, we all know where you stand. You don’t have to keep being a pain in the butt about it. If somebody kicks your butt in wisc. it will probably be deserved.
Ditto
Here is the deal littlebigwhatever: anybody tries to kick my butt anywhere and I will OWN them. There are laws against that sort of thing. There are lawyers all over the place who love to take everything some drunken punk who tries to start throwing punches owns or will ever own. This country is run by th rule of law…NOT some drunken idiots trying to throw punches or hit people with chairs and stuff like that.
So, anybody planning on drinking a lot and trying to start trouble, go right ahead. I’ll own everything you’ve got. Drink your firewater…do your drugs littlebighangover. There are all kinds of laws against what you are attempting to propose. You start throwing punches you are going to pay, and pay until there is nothing more that you USED to have to pay with. I do things the civilized way. ;0)
And, I hate Big Ten losses. I will NOT ignore any Big Ten losses that this brewster wracks up. He does need to ditch this dunbar. It will take a little heat off him for a little while…
[…] Gophers do have talented receivers in addition to Eric Decker. Tight end Jack Simmons is an NFL prospect. However, as a tight end […]
LOL AT THE LEGAL BEGAL NAMED WREN! PREPARE TO COME HOME WITH ‘ANOTHER’ PLATE IN YOUR HEAD IF YOU START MOUTHING OFF IN MADTOWN SAT AS OUR FANS ARE ACHEING FOR A FIGHT AFTER LAST YEARS CHEAPSHOT PARTY IN YOPUR DUMP! BRET IS EVEN STIRRING THINGS UP BY PLACING THE AX ON YOUR SIDELINE SO THE BADGER PLAYERS GET TO RUSH YOUR SIDELINE TO RETRIEVE IT! TOTAL HUMILIATION!! GEE ODFFICER, I DIDN’T SEE HOW THAT FAT OLD GUY IN PURPLE FELL DOWN THE STEPS AND GOT STOMPED ON..HE LOOKED PRETTY DRUNK TO ME.
Well the stupid drunken tough talking brewster-buddy fans and the scum-suckig drunken tough talking bad-ger-fans can all hook up and go to war with each other. They smash their tough talk over each others drunken skulls. They can pack heat…guns, knives, automatic weapons that they use for hunting and they can wipe each other out. The news crews will shoot it…keep score and the world will probably be a better place to like if these brewster tough talkers and the bad-ger bad mouth boys go at it and wipe each other out. Drink up drunks! Start the day before. Drink all night. Barf all over the dirty streets of madison.
Sane, sober fans of both teams will shake their heads at you and wonder what the hell has happened to the once proud tradition of a border battle that ;involved a nice little rivalry on the football field. I have been struck that based upon what happens in madison…day in and day out…if it is not the bitter end of the Western Civilization…you can at least see the end there.
Smash othe drunken fans wearing the other colors. Shoot ‘em. Break their bones and breadk their heads. Stab ‘em. Show the world how drunk and how stupid you are. And then…be prepared to spend a LONG time in some stinking madison jail. Be prepared to have law suites coming your way. Be prepared to had the Governor of wisky start cramping down BIG TIME on your stinking camp randall. Bring out the National Guard…madison is a heck of a lot more messed up than some other places they have deployed them during the past half century.
madison is going to the dogs and the drunken badger bucks…buck up you drunken badger buck tough talking cap letter freak. Pack heat on Saturday. Bring a hunting knife. Smash bucky smash…or at least get commode hugging drunk and stay that way for days and days! Or at least talk drunk and stupid. madison is the drunk-tank of the midwest…
Sober people…have a nice time. If any of the drunks start making problems identify them and sue the hell out of ‘em!
This is the first game this year I can not envision a way the Gophers can win. If they pull it off, and like I said, very unlikely imo, I will be shocked. Here is what would have to happen to get a win:
1) offense somehow scores 17 points
2) defense shuts down the UW run
3) positive turnover ratio
4) limited # of penalties
5) one big special teams play (punt or KO returned for points)
6) a solid, confidence-building start that keeps the crowd somewhat restrained
7) Weber only sacked twice or less
What else???
Stranger things have happened. Good luck to the team and fans who venture into Madison.
This Badger Buck clown seems pretty representative of the drunken, classless Badger fans. They didn’t win anything for 90 years and now they act like they’re a top 10 program.
I’ll be in Madison on Saturday with my Gopher gear on cheering for my team. Win or lose, I’ll do it with class. Try it Buck, you might enjoy it.
Marquis Gray passes ACT. Great news for him and I hope he uses this to get a degree. The Gophers could be set at QB for 4 or 5 years.
It amazes me that many gifted athletes don’t focus on academics while in HS knowing that they have to qualify to play big time college sports.
Yes, Tx Gopher! I agree with your insights so let’s be optimistic.
It looks dismal, but never underestimate the ability of special teams or the D scoring a TD or two.
There is a small chance of victory, but it is indeed very small.
“It amazes me that many gifted athletes don’t focus on academics while in HS knowing that they have to qualify to play big time college sports.”
ITS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RECRUIT MILDLY RETARDED GANG BANGER THUGS. DOES HE PUNCH GIRLS TOO?
Bury alvarez used to like those gang-banging running backs…his phiosophy was “a rolling: moss always gets stoned…” And then there was that badger back who played a few years for the stinking vikings who had lots of trouble in court because of some stuff with his former girl friend in madison… wisky, of course.
You tough talking bad ger drunken bums and head-hunting goobers really do have NO sense of things. What you say you hate in others, you foster and like about your own if they have some success on the killing fields…er…make that football field at camp randall. bury alvarez had a bunch of thugs. Recall that little incident that ron dayne got himself into his red-shirt year? He and another teammate jumped one of their other teammates after practice one night and worked him over pretty darn well. And…that old shoebox slush fund and bad ger players cash give away machine incident. Thestinking bad gers practices areas low as the other low rent practices in Big Ten athletic programs. Yes, I do think the haskin’sscandal at Minnesota was the worst of the worst, and the hoops program probably SHOULD have been given the death penalty for that. Minnesota hoops has had a horrible record and Minnesota is as bad or worse than the bad gers just because of that single incident. However, the bad gers football program has been pretty damn bad too when it comes to be a rule-breakinginstitution of the Big Ten Conference. Minnesota and wisky and iowa have all been pretty suspect in trying to catch up with others
when you throw in your “war-chants” among the fans talk bad ger buck…maybe it’s time to just shut the athletic programs down and focus on educating people so that they won’t end up the way you have obviously ended up you wisky-breath -trsh-talking clown.
Bayfield–that is great news regarding Gray. A knowledgable buddy of mine saw him play in that all-star game and he is convinced he is the real deal. He liked his upside potential better than Pryor at OSU.
Good luck to him. Personally, I won’t kow-tow and genuflect until I see some Big Ten wins as a direct result of this high school kid’s exploits on the Big Ten football fields on Game Day Saturdays at some point in the future. Will it be next year? The year after? Boyond those dates we don’t even know who the coach will be…what style offense will be played…if the academic adventures and challenges are met…if there is good fortune and good health…just one heck of a lot of unanswered questions that young players HAVE to experience and work their way thgrough.
But, I hope I have time…at least I have today. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? For me? Fou you? For the young lad? For this brewster? For this dunbar? Lots of questions need to be answered before I’ll celebrate with too much reckless abandon…
;0)
Yes wren, you have today so why don’t you do something constructive with it?? Sitting at your computer around the clock and saying the same thing ad nauseam is driving you crazy.
Bayfield—I should have added that in addition to the game he watched him practice leading up to it. I am very glad to hear this and I hope your source is accurate.
So, tex, have you got any guarantees to go along with that personal endorsement based on a little visual some buddy of yours claims to have changed his personal life? What’s he doing hanging around practices any way?
Here is the thing: some of you want to take a trip to la la fantasy football world based on someone you know who hear someone he knows say something he thinks based upon something somebody else believes could happen some day. Live in la la fantasy high school recruiting wonderland, but don’t keep writing about it every day, all the time, 24/7/365. It’s up to me to counter-balance your pie in the sky la la fantasy high school recruitig stuff tex. A high school all-star game and a practice is a lot of hype, smoke and mirrors based upon a lot of hope and conjecture, if you ask me.
This brewster doesn’t have forever to start winning significant numbers of Big Ten games, tex. Too many more losses and he will progress down the Big Ten loss column too far to ever come back. That darn throw away first season in 2007 is just killing him. And, now, if he throws away the 2nd half of the 2008 Big Ten seaon that could be a real killer for him. This brewster’s best bet to distract people would be to ditch this dunbar offensive coordinator at the end of this season for a new OOC. That might take a little heat off fora little while. Sorry tex, somebody has to look at thow things are in the here and the now…
;0(
With Gray and Reeves joining the team in January, that makes the failures Bud, wren, and loon dead wrong on just about every Gopher recruit they trashed and said would never get into school.
We can be darn happy the football team performs a thousand percent better than the failures Bud, wren, and loon.
This Wrenbawl must stop throwing away production cycles. This Wrendawl’s customers are sick and tired of not receiving their product. This Wrenbawl’s excuses for throwaway production seasons are getting old. It is time for This Wrendawl to quit whining about his big vat having a crack, not being able to find a boy to stir the vat, loon’s mules failing to deliver raw materials from south of the border, the revenoooers swooping down to shut the camp down … blah blah blah. Nobody cares any more about these excuses for This Wrenbawl throwing away production.
Wren—my source for the Gray opinion was a former D1 FB player who helped with the Athletic Trainer duties during the all-star game and practices leading up to it. Time will tell if he pans out, but the potential is there. That is all I am saying.
Tex … Gray alternated with Pryor in that game and looked just as good as Pryor.
And all I am saying is that before becoming too excited, let all the things that a kid going to college has to have happen to him before counting on anything.
Going to college is a great time of life. There are a lot of responsibilities that have to be taken care of. Both academic responsibilities and football responsibilities. There is also the social side of things. There is the being an 18 year old kid kind of things.
Before he can add to any Big Ten win totals, he has SO many equally important things to experience, become acquanted with and to succeed at.
Football WILL happen for him IF he takes care of being a college student.
He also needs to pick up the systems. Then, of course, he also has to be lucky enough to stay away from major injuries and to learn to be tough enough to play through the nicks, scrapes, bruises and physical aspects of being a college Division I football player.
I wish him well. I am impressed that he has stuck with taking care of business. I hope he has learned a lot in this whole process. I sincerely hope he makes the most of his opportunity. He is showing that he does want to make his stad at the University of Minnesota. That is a very good thing!
I’m just not counting on all kinds of Big Ten wins because he has arrived on the scene though. Time will tell. ONLY time will tell about that vital statistic.
Whyne Renbawlbaby … Everything you said above is true whether we are talking about one of the best high school talents in the country or one of Mason’s one-star recruits.
d_a_c-off: What has happened with Gray is only one of the possible things that may or may not happen for him. This only cost him part of a year in being with the team and being in school. It didn’t cost him any elegibility. The odds of a high school star starring in nearly the same way or to the same extent in college are SO small. What are potential wash out areas for each high school star before they become a college star with the ability to impact a Big Ten football season?
1. Problems being admitted to the college.
2. Problems with academics once admitted.
3. Problems picking up the new, more complicated systems.
4. Work ethic problems.
5. Lack of emotional maturity.
(This could also include legal problems, domestic/relationship problems, parental problems, family issues, any number of things could fall into this area.)
6. Injury problems.
7. Not being able to compete and win a starting spot (This is especially true for a qb…there is usually only ONE starting qb each season…barring injury. The odds are against quarterbacks unless they can pick up an additional position or two.)
8. Not liking the college…coach…team…players on the team…being homesick…any number of factors could be inserted here.
9. Not being as talanted as someone else at the same position. Developing an attitude problem because of self-perceived lack of playing time due to competition factors out of the control of the individual athlete.
10. Finding the college version of football to be too intense, or, finding out that there is more to life than football and the desire and drive just isn’t there any longer.
Or, enough factors come together so that by the Junior or Senior year, playing time is earned and contributions on Game Day Saturday can be made.
Finally, in a very rare occasion, instant stardom is achieved and all goes well. In this case, health must hold out, academic progress must be made and a real love for playing the game of football manages to prevail.
For any kid just starting a college football career…it is a REAL crap-shoot. There are so many variables. There are so many roadblocks and hazzards along the way. One star…three stars…four stars…even five stars…only time will tell.
This brewster has a lot riding on this game at madison on Saturday. Can he win a border battle game on the road? Jeeze…he sure does need a Big Ten win. This second half of the Big Ten season is slipping away on this brewster.
When will this brewster come up with his 4th Big Ten win?
1. November 15, 2008?
2. November 22, 2008?
3. Sometime during the 2009 season?
4. Sometime during the 2010 season?
5. It really doesn’t matter what happens
in the short term…he’s too far in
the hole already at 3-11 in Big Ten
play.
