Glen Mason I know but he did make some good points. Here’s hoping  our QB’s don’t get the transfer Bug.

Favorite Part.

"When I had to play Michigan and they ran out of that tunnel," Mason recalled, "I'd say, 'God, that's how I want my team to look.'

They became a decent middle of the pack Big Ten team.  They routinely won 7-8 games a year, had a strong running game and gave the top tier teams fits.  And you can't completely diss a guy who helped produce Laurence Maroney and Marion Barber.  For all the recruiting disadvantages Minnesota brought, he did a pretty decent job.

...to a Lynn Henning column, GA. Thank you for making my eyes burn, my nose run, my stomach turn and my bowels quiver. Henningitis - it's catching so be careful.

So it sounds like DB was in Dallas on Saturday for the Amerixan Coaches Association convention. I had heard the day of the RR firing that he was scheduled to be there.
<br>
<br>It makes me question how accurate Sam Webb's reports were. He certainly COULD have been interviewing coaches in addition to attending the convention, but he was supposed to be in Dallas regardless.

No way they were that bad. If the scheme was correct even bad players could be in the right place once and a while. We always seemed out of position. A shift in the offense seemed to just create confusion never an adjustment in the defense. Case in point was that a bad UMASS team could move the ball. We don't have better players than UMASS?
