Tim Brewster Has a Twitter Feed; Oscar Wilde Wins Again


Brewsterpower_medium

Longtime readers may remember that we've had quite a bit of fun with Tim Brewster over the past two years.  We conducted an interview that devolved into a Barbara Walters specialWe made him celebrate Patrick Duffy's birthday with Joe Paterno.   We made him the object of our hate.

We also afflicted Tremendous Tim with the rarest and most debilitating of all coaching-related mental/speech conditions: We gave him Motivatonal Tourette's Syndrome.  Brewster speaks (in all caps) with words like "WIN," "FIGHT," and "TREMENDOUS" sprinkled throughout.  While it proves effective during recruiting, it gets in the way of playcalling.

We say "we gave him Motivational Tourette's" because that post, like pretty much every other post here, is a work of fiction.  You see that disclaimer on the right?  We make this stuff up.  Tim Brewster is a graduate of the University of Illinois and a successful football coach.  Surely he doesn't actually write and speak like a chimpanzee at a Tony Robbins seminar...

Life imitates art, my friends.  I give you the Tim Brewster Twitter feed.  His last three unedited "tweets" (and that will be the last time I ever use that word, I swear):

JUST OFF THE FIELD FROM PRACTICE #1....GUYS SHOWED GREAT ATTITUDE AND EFFORT TODAY!

EACH GUY CONTROLS WHAT HE BRINGS TO THE TABLE EACH DAY ATTITUDE, EFFORT, TOUGHNESS AND PASSION NOT TAUGHT BUT BROUGHT!

WINNING ON AND OFF THE FIELD EACH AND EVERY DAY IS WHAT CREATES A CHAMPION!

Best of all, these were (1) clearly caps lock enabled, and (2) all published within an hour of each other.  Brewster was apparently so jacked up from his first spring practice that he had no choice but to hold down the Shift key and get all that Motivational Tourette's out of his system.

Other things we learned from Tim Brewster's Twitter feed:

  • His bio is COACH BREW and he's located in MINNESOTA
  • He clearly doesn't read the financial page: Coach Brew is referring to the Gophers' new stadium as "The Bank" (a reference to stadium name sponsor TCF Bank).  This, of couse, is in the face of a $700B federal bank bailout package.  Let's just say that when Minnesota blows another fourth quarter lead against Northwestern, we won't have to go to far to find the "collapse" joke.
  • Go should be capitalized at all times (and followed by an exclamation point or three, if possible)
  • He thinks he has a great staff and hardworking players.  Nebraska fans might disagree.
  • He's looking for playmakers.  So if you're one of those, let him know.
  • He's OFFICIALLY HI-TECH!
  • WIN FIGHT TRY TREMENDOUS WIN EXPLOSIVE ATTITUDE (sorry, it slipped)

This is to say nothing of his new website, Play4Brew.com (formerly owned by the Milwaukee Fighting Schlitz's of the independent Northern League), which plays a slideshow of three Minnesota players who, ironically, never Played4Brew, and a video of a zombie coed praising a tutor's "ten yore" at Texas.  While there, you can register as a member of the "BrewZone."  Believe me, I already have.

Tim Brewster: More ridiculous in real life than even we could imagine.  Some days, the posts write themselves.

Why the fuck is some random girl doing the spiel that auto-plays on Brew's website?

And couldn’t they have found someone that wasn’t blatantly reading off cue cards or a teleprompter?

I think the thing I like best about the flash opening is the way it subtly highlights the fact that Minnesota hasn’t been truly relevant since the 60s. I hope they have something special planned for that 50th anniversary celebration.

And every time I think “the Bank” (needs a more demeaning nickname… Bailout Field?) looks nice, I remember that it seats barely more than the stadiums at noted football powerhouses Indiana and Northwestern… despite the fact that “The U” is located in the biggest metro area of any of the B10 schools save jNW.

Bailout Field is begging for a photoshop

Well, if by being truly relevant you mean national championships...

I’d say we are about 6 times more relevant than you are ;)

Also if "relevance" is measured by Insight Bowl losses

The moral of Play4Brew.com, near as I can tell?

He knows Tony Dungy.

Am I the only one...

Who hopes “twittering” will go the way of the Tamagotchi and fiscal responsibility?

It's all in the reflexes...

Thanks to Twiiter the word Twatted was used on live national TV.

This can't be real

How is it possible

that the Zooker hasn’t jumped on this technology. If there was one Big Ten coach I would assume that would be all over Twitter, it is definitely everyone’s favorite water skiier. Besides, can you imagine how legendary a Zook twat er tweet would be?

Christ I hope that's his office and not his living room

Because if he actually has a “SUCCESS” motivational poster in his family room…

Ugh.

Why is there a turtle?

That's not a turtle

That’s Daniel Dufresne
