I go away for a month and nothing has changed

I've had some personal things come up and it's taken me away from the board. Don't know how much I will be able to stop by in the future but nonetheless, I had a couple of minutes today.

To the cynics and doomsayers -- WHATEVER!! I just see a team that is growing and just has to learn how to finish games. I hate that we lost the Tulsa and Houston games too but I'm sure many of you who thought we were going to get blown out CONVENIENTLY switched your argument to us not holding on at the end.

Lack of defensive depth and having that signature moment to turn it is something that's lacking. Finishing is a process. They'll get it. I would trust Jones and his staff to get them to that moment.

I talked with mrydel before the Houston game and said the only things I want to see for the end of the year are:
1. Is this group getting it in October and November. Yes, it is.
2. Are the players playing for June and this staff. IMO, Yes!

They are a better coached.

Careful, folks! This team is getting better and some of you are missing it. Does that mean that we're going to a bowl game in 2009? Who knows? I'm looking at 2010 as the year where this program is going.

BTW, whoever thinks that passing on 3rd and 4 with 2:00+ in the fourth quarter against Houston is playing not to lose is absolutely drunk or high. Loved the aggressiveness. You play to win. If Wilkerson holds that, that's your signature play.

Oh, and BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE BIG TEN. Can't wait for the battle at the Horseshoe with Penn State at Ohio State.

Go Gophers!! Back in the Top 25 since 2005.

Be good and talk to you soon.

The General!!

The power of the Big 10!! Somewhere under the Big 12 and SEC and slightly above the Big East!

The Big 10 motto: "We cannot count." (Hint: There's 11 teams in the Big 10)

I really thought the signature play of the game was the roughing the passer penalty on Fleming. If that doesn't happen, UH 3 & out, instead they drive for a momentum changing TD.

so who's gonna get Big 10eleven coach of the year? Fitzgerald or Brewster? Oh wait they'll probably hose both of those guys a la SMU after the Cotton Bowl and give it to Paterno for nostalgia sake

Big 10 football is over-rated. Always is. Watching Michigan this season is like watching a bad car accident.
