Yours truly at CBS, explaining the similarity between Minneapolis and the tiny island nation of Vanuatu.

Perhaps the best explanation of TRY FIGHT LOSE MIGHT AS WELL BE A WIN that I have seen as of yet.
I was suspecting LSD, but the remnant of a tiny glimmer of focus on the game of football seemed to debunk that theory.
"Oh no, don't do that, don't do that. If you shoot him, you'll just make him mad." - The Waco Kid
sigh....
Can you guys do us a favor and win 56-0 this year?
As an aside, what will you guys do when the Gophs hire a normal coach in a couple months (it’s a stretch, I realize this).
I'm kind of hoping Les Miles gets run out of Baton Rouge and lands in Minneapolis.
He’d win more games (which would suck), but he’d also keep the crazy quotient pretty fucking high for Gopher football, which is definitely good for us.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Something tells me Les Miles would win less at Minny than at LSU
I could see him building a consistent 7 to 8 win team. Without being in the SEC and having a decent stock of talent in-state or next door, I wouldn’t see him turning Minny into LSUnorth. So basically, I could see him returning Minny to the Mason level of success. A level that the Gopher faithful can probably appreciate now after the Brewtastrophe that is unfolding this season.

oh, and has there ever been a 5-0 coach with a hotter seat than Miles?

that guy
Is amazing, how he can do everything he can to screw up and still pull out the wins. Their fan base wants his head.

Why am I so giddy at the idea of Les Miles at Minny? Maybe because of his deal with the devil. The annual game with his counterpart devil at JNW would be fascinating. Fire and thunderbolts.
Does Satan take sides?
Or does he just watch while the whole stadium burns?
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
He'd keep blowing out the flame while Fitz and Miles kept trying to light the kerosene...
…just so Beelzebub could watch the horror on the faces of the fan bases each time a new match was struck.

Read a great story before this last weekend (I think on FanHouse, maybe EDSBS... not sure)...
…called “Waiting For The Colonel”- – it was all about how Miles keeps leading his team to victories, but that he was such an innept coach that the fanbase wants him gone anyway, cause they just keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. It was saying how they don’t enjoy gamedays as much anymore because they spend all day waiting for the inevitable “Stupid Loss” when Miles shoots them all in the foot. Then the Tennessee game happened.
I can only imagine how they feel about him now.

Did Brewster also say they could be sitting
with Lane Kiffin as thier head coach?

Brewster lives in imagination land where perception is reality.
He’s out of fairy dust though for changing people’s perceptions and is left with the dirty, barren reality of his own failed existence.
Brewster has gone from
harmless, humorous delusions of grandeur to scary, disconcerting levels of psychotic disconnect from reality.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
If he did that
I would stand up and cheer. Win, lose or draw, that level of bravado must be appreciated

I really love this site
Not only do I get to read and talk about football, but my other passions in life are also fullfilled. I love history and sociology.
Thanks Jacobi!
In all seriousness, I enjoyed your cbs blog.

Rumor around my house is that the the blue jay WHO WON’T SHUT IT UP WITH THE JAY JAY JAY JAY will replace Brewster. And really, all Minnesota’s AD wants is someone who can talk real purty. So maybe he should hire a mockingbird.
Moving on, I have three questions:
1) How did Brewster get hired?
2) Is the Minnesota athletic department that incompetent or were they just willing to have someone hold their beer while they “tried sumthin”?
3) How did they hire a half-decent basketball coach?
"We just ran out of time." [sly smile] - Joe Paterno
IIRC
The reason Brewster was hired was because of his recruiting, mainly his ability to relate to the players. I seem to remember reading or watching a presser where the AD said something to the effect of “wanting to get to the next level” by improving recruiting. Little did he realize that he lives in Minnesota and a good class of recruits is 15 guys that can avoid frostbite for 6 months a year. I think they have finally found out that a decent coach with middling recruits (Mason) is a far site better than a bad coach (Brew) with middling recruits.

This
and the fact that they wanted to hire a “chic” pick… Someone who has experience on the national stage (when he was on staff at Texas), which Brew won’t shut up about now that he has utterly failed at being a HC

Sounds like a certain sister school from Ames.

Being Brewster must be like
the guy who accidentally stepped out of a 110th story window. Splattering on the pavement is pretty much an inevitability so what do you do on the way down? Close your eyes and pray? Scream and curse? or convince yourself that you were born on the planet Krypton.
The guy doesn’t have many options at this point; he can’t make the team into an instant winner nor can he make himself into a good coach, so why not enjoy some delusions before your life is snuffed out.

Mr. Jacobi
Are you sure there wasn’t a typo or a some missed numbering? Maybe he said, With 50 more pts. we could be 5-0.
