The definition of a .500 team

This just in: mediocre teams are inconsistent and that is us in a nutshell. After winning the biggest game of Brewster's tenure, we suffer the worst loss the very next week. We have a coach who constantly talks to the media about our need to "pound the rock", but then he forgets to mention that to his fledgling offensive coordinator. Players are benched when they play poorly, unless their name is Adam Weber. 5 out of 17 in the first half doesn't cut it in the high school level, much less college. A 3 year starter should be able to throw the ball away and not run the ball back to your own 2 yard line to take a sack. He should also understand that we cannot take a sack when we have the ball at their 1 foot line. Don't even get me started on why we weren't running the ball there anyway. It is geeting very old having to watch a junior QB make freshmen mistakes. The door is wide open and Gray would be getting more opportunities if he could hold onto the ball, the guy barely hit the ball for God's sake. Our secondary misses chances at interceptions and tackles that allow another 35 yards. Our kicker kicks two balls out of bounds. I guess the only thing we can really count on is a lot of mistakes. Tune in next week to see if the Gophers can top the worst loss of the Brewster era. If you have watched the Gopehrs this year, you know this game is far from a gimme.

I don’t quibble with you that the loss to Illinois this past Saturday was a tough one to absorb. However, 2007 North Dakota State and 2008 Iowa, in my honest opinion, were worse losses for the program. That said, a loss this Saturday would probably take the cake. Thankfully, I just don’t think it’s gonna happen.
Toughest loss
Yes, most definitely the NDSU and Iowa losses were worse. By far. Illinois has a bad record but they are loaded with talent and we did keep the game pretty close in the end.
excellent post
what is really sad to me is that we are not in any different position than we were a few years ago. Now we just have increased talent and the same results.
what you say here can, and will, be used against you
I offer my apologies
for last year’s 55-0 debacle. That is not the way to close down someone else’s stadium. I hope we will conduct ourselves in a more sportsmanlike manner this year. (But of course, keep Floyd at home where he belongs).
thats okay
revenge comes in the form of basketball this year. Two words to destribe those games…dunk fest. Isn’t your tallest player 6-9? I wonder if Rodney could clear him in a dunk?

apparently I can't spell
describe…not destribe. I must have had too much fun when I was at school… oh well.

I don't follow basketball
so I don’t know how tall any of them are. But I do know that we are a consensus pick to finish at or near the basement of the B10. As long as your revenge comes on the court, and not in Kinnick, I will be just fine.
Let's put it this way
there is a very real chance that Iowa finishes 12th in the Big Ten this year in Basketball. j/k.
Indian looks to have improved and Indian, Penn State and Northwestern will be in that group right in front of Iowa. Then it is Wisc right above that group but below the Minn/Illinois/Mich/OSU group and then MSU and Purdue.
