This man knows his diddly squat.

What's crazy is the University of Minnesota getting a top 20 recruiting class after a 1-11 season last year. Our coach Tim Brewster is a big-talker... I'm just hoping he's learned to coach over the off-season.

My favorite moment has been the kid from Reno, NV that held a news conference to announce his decision between two Pac-10 schools. The problem was the neither school was recruiting him. In fact, they hadn't even heard of him. He admitted later that he had made the whole thing up.

rated 3rd best class in the big10. i think minesota made a big mistake firing glen mason. brewster might be a better recruiter but mason could coach.

Very true... he was fired with mixed emotions here, but the team had stagnated. He could never win the big game, and he blew some huge leads. He also came off as arrogant to a lot of people, so there was a lot not to like.

Now that it's a year later, I still don't know if it's the right move. I will say that he doesn't get most of these recruits that Brewster has borught in. Glen was about finiding diamonds in the rough and making them good players. For O-lineman and running backs I never worried, but other positions always concerned me.

Best rated RB in the Nation takes Colorado over Texas.

These children do get far to much attention
playing games with the hats. comedy.

agreed. it's a wonder the ncaa hasn't cracked down on the press conferences and live tv of signings.
