With rooster chasing all but over with and no purple to watch,  it's time to fish...

[Bobberineyes]

Who's fired first I wonder..

[LPS]

Will never happen but if I had to pick 2 people to go it would be Zimmer and Cousins.  Zim is a great D coach but head coach is over his head.  Who ever hired De filipi should go too.  Cousins is way over his head too.  Not QB material.

[glenn57]

My opinion. The special teams coach. He has ruin more place kickers. Then it needs a huge revamp of the O- line. O coordinator should stay. No other changes needed. Super bowl or bust next year.

With rooster chasing all but over with and no purple to watch,  it's time to fish...

Gotta look at last week and the weekend as a whole here. The purple were shaky all year as they showed early on in their loss to Buffalo. I mentioned it way back when I said their season would hinge on this game. Prophetic bastard, ain't I? 

Annaway, water over the dam. Lotsa good MN sports to follow. Gopher football munched Georgia Tech. While I'm not a fan of the rah-rah stuff that Fleck does, I can't argue with success either. Gopher men's BB got Eric Curry back on the floor today. Big brace on his knee. Even though they played Mt. St. Mary's, he looked better than I expected, 4 pts. & 6 boards. They may surprise, they may disappoint but they have talent and are deeper than last year. They were a helluva a lot more fun to watch than the Vikes today. The Gopher women's BB might be the team to watch tho. Ranked #12. 12-0 and haven't played all schlubs either. They pounded Bucky 74-56 Friday nite to start the B1G season. Lindsay Whalen has them playing D and for someone who's never coached you'd never know it. Was a fan back when Whalen played for the Gophers, when she played for the Lynx, and still am. Livestream most of the games that aren't on network TV and that's a lot of them. Gopher hockey split. Still trying to develop an identity. I hope Motzco kicks some @sses after their lackluster performance against Ferris St. & losing at home Saturday nite. Still too much of Donnie & Guentzel's influence. 14 pretty passes, no shots on goal to show for it, then let 'em go down the ice & score on ya. Shoot the damn puck and hit the bastards on defense rather than watching them skate by!

May as well hang up my 22 Smith jersey for the year.  I can't wait to listen to KFAN.  I am going to push the 6 banger Ford to get to Spee Dee and then back home quick.

[Dotch]

[Gunner55]

Since has been cheese heads seam to filter this way....  hey what's McCarthy up too..

Heard this mornin that him & Oklahoma's coach are expected to be doin a lot of interviews. At least 9 jobs opening up, some estimating as many as 12

[Rebel SS]

Oofda....

[Gunner55]

He'll be hearing a lot of that all off season. If they don't upgrade the O line it won't matter who's standing back there. Defense wasn't near as good as last season either IMO.

[LPS]

Good article Rebs.  Hit the nail right on the head.  Keenum was a fighter and got the job done.  Cousins is a pansy and can't handle things when they get tough...

[Rebel SS]

I think you and I agreed about that earlier this season...and I couldn't understand them dumping Keenum, he just needed seasoning, IMO. My take was he (Cousins) looked "scared" out there. I don't think he's a hardcore type enough (like a Rothlisberger) to get the job done. Kinda reminds me of a sophomore first time starting Qback in HS......and I agree with Gunner, their De sucks! All year, IMO. I never saw any really good Qback sacks handed out by them...........but, there were a lot of other probs too. They just never really "jelled"all season long. I haveta say it...typical ViQueens!
