Minnesotans have a difficult time agreeing on many things these days. Who should be our new governor? Can the Vikings actually beat the Saints in the opener? Is Scott Ullger blind? Why would anyone choose to eat camel at the Minnesota State Fair?One thing about which we can all agree is this will be Tim Brewster's final season as head coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers. The squad opens the season tonight against Middle Tennessee State and the Gophers are favored to win! Sure, they are favored by less than a field goal and the Gophers were underdogs up until MTSU's starting quarterback was suspended...but hey, they are favored.
MTSU plays in the Sun Belt conference by the way. So, they probably should be favored against a Big Ten team with a huge recruiting budget, a new stadium, and oh yes...a coach who sold himself as a recruiter, motivator and offensive genius.
Our best guess is the Gophers lose by at least a touchdown and then Brewster claims the kids played hard and did well in a tough environment. Moral victories are victories too, especially when you are molding young minds and trying to figure out a way to not get fired.
We can all agree on that.

I sure hope you're wrong.
As I look over the new Big Ten division alignment (with Nebraska being added to the conference in 2011), I'm counting on my Hawkeyes always being able to win at least one division game, even in a rare "down" year.
I think Brewster is doing a fine job... keep him right where he is!
am I still allowed to post on this weblog now that it's all famous and stuff?
If I'm not mistaken, it was Hubert Humphrey who first made the "cold Omaha" statement, regarding the Minnesota Twins.
