Please Fire Brewster

[RiverFish]

Playing better and winning is one thing. But Playing better and losing is still losing.

The gophs still stink.

[mrklean]

my guess was USC 52 Gophs 3 so im was pleased it was much closer

[PierBridge]

I'm fairly astonished the number went from USC being favored by 14.5 down to 11.5. Thats a lot of action on Gophers in order to move a number that much....It just seemed like sucker bet to me so I didn't bet on USC.

Granted USC isn't very good this year but they still probably should have covered anyway.

I guess it goes to my over-all theory of parity in College sports theme!

[LMITOUT]

Ask Penn St. about your "parity" theory after they got smoked by Alabama last week.

[CJH]

So about those Mangino rumors.......he wouldn't be my first choice, that's for sure. But he's not a bad coach.

I'd rather they went after Mike Leach, if they were going to make a move. Also I'd say Gary Barnett, but he is getting a little long in the tooth. At least he went to the Rose Bowl w/ Northwestern, and if you can do it there..........

[Coach1310]

Mangino is a friend of Brew's. That is the only reason he was around campus and on the sideline. With the way he exited Kansas there is ZERO CHANCE he will coach the Gophers. Same with Leach.... NO CHANCE. Way too much controversy where they just were. The "person" is far more important to the U of M than the "coach" is. We need to hope they find a rising star by luck.......

[LMITOUT]

Gophers receiver Troy Stoudermire has been indefinitely suspended for "conduct detrimental to the team," coach Tim Brewster announced Wednesday. Stoudermire, who has six receptions, one of them for a 49-yard touchdown against South Dakota, in Minnesota's first three games this season and is also the team's starting kick returner, will not be on the sidelines for Saturday's game with Northern Illinois, Brewster said.

[Musky Buck]

It's ugly, really ugly for gopher football, when your in-state studs won't come here it's ugly, I thought the program would takes steps forward each year, remember the rose bowl talk...lol... maybe we need to go D 2.

[LMITOUT]

NDSU put a beat down on the Coyotes tonight, 38-16, in a battle of the Brew Beaters.

D.J. McNorton ran for 250yds and 3 TD's!

Go Bison!

[gr8icefishinmind]

Wow........good thing they invested on a new stadium so the gophs can loose to terrible teams!!

[PurpleFloyd]

Yeah, that went well today again. maybe the Gophers can move to LA and leave their new stadium to the Vikings lol.

[Scott M]

Wow, just got home tonight and turned on BTN...How can this not be the last straw? If Brew didn't want the USD game to define the season, what does he make of this one? Let's try and get someone with some experience for game planning please. I think I can recruit for Texas at this point.

[LMITOUT]

Brewster's last game?

[JIvers]

Hey, this was a thrilling game for the Gophers at home against a tough Northern Illinois squad that only lost to Big 12 powerhouse Iowa State 27-10 two weeks ago!

I really wish I had taken advantage of those cheap tickets to TCF Stadium so I could see the Big Ten's Gophers lose to a team (NIU) that got soundly beaten two weeks ago by a team (Iowa State) that got utterly destroyed by a total score of over seventy to zero the last two seasons by another Big Ten team (Iowa)that beat the Gophers at home 55-0 a couple years ago!

A few more such thrilling contests against FCS opponents like South Dakota and non-BCS schools like Northern Illinois and we Gopher fans can probably get tickets to The Bank for free--awesome! Tim Brewster = The Man!

You college football fans back in Minnesota are lucky! Here in Iowa City one must pay $150 to $300 for a single ticket to an Iowa home game against a BCS opponent like Iowa State, Penn State, or Michigan! I bet tickets against quality opponents are much cheaper for The Bank! Heck, Iowa beats teams like Ball State and Eastern Illinois 35-0 or 45-0, which is BORING! Gopher fans are much luckier because they get to see their team play hard but lose to FCS and MAC teams, which is obviously more exciting!

Truly this is a glorious age of parity in college football when Tim Brewster's Gophers can go four years without winning a single rivalry game against Iowa, Wisconsin, or Michigan! I am now completely convinced that Tim Brewster should be retained not only for the remainder of this season, but for the next several seasons as well!

/sarcasm

[zepman]

Yes...it's embarrassing.

The Gophers just plain and simply get manhandled on the line of scrimmage...both sides of the ball...no matter the opponent.

Play calling on 3rd and 4th and short is the worst I've ever seen in my life. Same play (dive) all game long and I don't think they converted once. You would think they'd learn their lesson.

Weber is not a leader...not a good q-back...and he can't win football games. As a four year starter, and two time captain, I've yet to see him step up in a big situation and deliver the goods. It looks like his teammates don't like him or he doesn't like them...either way, I wish he'd just leave.

I find it hard to believe that we can't recruit better offensive and defensive lineman from this part of the country. They're there...NDSU,USD, SDSU, UND, UNI, all find and develop better lineman than what we currently have...and they're sub-division teams that could all beat the Gophers right now. The Gophers defensive front is about the worst group of football players I've seen in a long, long time. Michigans q-back alone, might rush for 500 yards on the ground against this group.

Maturi better be making a list....let's hope he checks it twice this time before he makes another hire!!

[Scott M]

To be clear IMO they have to wait until the end of the year to can him for the sake of the players, but the day after they take another walloping from Iowa they need to cut him loose. It's looking like a second low water mark of 1-11 under Brew. Two of the worst records in four years in a 127 year old football program, its pathetic.

The rest of the schedule is road games, ranked teams, and games where they are the big underdog. If the MTSU QB wasn't hurt, they'd finish with a donut for wins, kind of like Brew's first year where if he hadn't lucked out in 3 OTs versus Miami (OH) he would have been winless.

[JBMasterAngler]

For the 1st time since 1898, the gophers lose 3 non conference games (at home nonetheless). And it was only the 3rd win against a big ten team in northern illinois' history. I would love to see brewster get fired right now! But unless it's a scandal, college coaches rarely get fired during the season. But yes, hopefully the day after the season is over, he'll be fired! I'm still pulling for mike leach...he's the anti brewster, not afraid to yell at players and challenge them. Not to mention he has had some of the best post game interviews in college football over the years.

[PierBridge]

I hope to god you are joking about $300 tickets to any Iowa football games....

Tough loss but we still enjoyed ourselves....

$300????....LOL

[Antero]

Who would be next? No dreaming allowed, keep it real please. I see no semi big name that would be interested, do you? Why would they? Unless there would be big big big money involved and I do not see that happening.

[JIvers]

I hope to god you are joking about $300 tickets to any Iowa football games....

Tough loss but we still enjoyed ourselves....

$300????....LOL

No joke. Check any on-line ticket sale site for Iowa-Ohio State, Iowa-Penn State, or Iowa-Wisconsin. Nothing under $185, and those are endzone/nosebleed seats. $300-$500+ for one good seat. And people do buy them.

Edit: I just checked the price for Ohio State-Minnesota tickets on those same sites--plenty of $45-$55 seats available at The Bank?!?!?!? Those same seats for Ohio State at Kinnick go for $200-$300!!!

You aren't going to try and tell me that you prefer an incompetent coach like Brewster because his total ineptitude keeps ticket prices for Gopher games cheap, are you?

[DTro]

Doesn't matter who would be next. The real question is who could possibly be worse?

Mason is looking like Knute Rockne lately LOL

[james_walleye]

Tony Dunge please. I know its a pipe dream......

[PierBridge]

The $50 2nd level seats were going for as low as $10 per seat.

Are there better coaches than Brewster available, yes, is Brewster to blame for this mess of program that hasn't won a Big Ten Title in 40 some years. He ll NO..... the problem is Maturi on up the latter.

Go Gophs!

[zepman]

Wrong. Brewster is to blame for this mess we currently have...he's responsible for the product on the field. It's as bad right now as it's EVER been.

As for the past 40 years...where do you even start......

[Stratosman]

It's both, equally. He must be proud to the be the joke of the Big 10. NI has only beat 3 big ten teams in it's history I believe. Brewster is the opposing teams biggest asset.
