GOPHERS GET SOME BEEF AND A NEW APPROACH
The Minnesota Gophers have made two new big improvements: they've added huge linemen, and they've also have got a new offensive coordinator, Jedd Fisch. Here are some of the weights on the Gophers new O-line: 280, 297, 315, and 350. Whose got the beef? Gophers' got the beef! Here are some clues to Fisch's offensive scheme: the quarterback is under center instead of in the shotgun. There will also be more play-action plays. And there will be real fullbacks running around! I know, it's a miracle! No offense to the great Minnesota program, of course.

T.O. TO BUFFALO
Former Cowboy Wide Receiver Terrell Owens signed with the Buffalo Bills for a 1/$6.5 million deal. $4 million guarantied. The Vikings supposedly did not make a move to try to get T.O.. The good part, it's only a one year deal. So keep hoping Vikings fans, keep hoping.

SO CLOSE, BUT YET SO FAR
The Minnesota Vikings were in the bid to get T.J. Houshmanzadah as a free agent. They got so close to getting him, but he ended up at Seattle. That really stinks for Vikings fans, but there is still T.O. in free agency, so who knows.

GOPHERS SEEKING NEW OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR
The Minnesota Gopher football team is looking for a new offensive coordinator. Their top priority, Tom Heupel, the quarterback coach of the Oklahoma Sooners. Heupel, 30, a native from South Dakota, grew up a gopher fan. If Heupel does come over to th U, it will be a good addition to Gopher Nation.
NFL FINES ANOTHER PLAYER
The NFL fined Indianapolis Colt defensive end Dwight Freeny $20,000 for comments he made after the previous Saturdays loss versus the San Diego Chargers. He used two cuss words in criticizing the officiating crew at the end of the game.They called three defensive penalties on the Colts for the scoring drive that the Chargers had in OT.

BCS CHAMPIONS!
The Florida Gators, beat the Oklahoma Sooners 24-14. This game was tied after an Oklahoma touchdown in the fourth quarter, and was the first BCS Championship that was ever tied in the fourth quarter. Some of the keys plays for Florida were they had a goaline stand in the second quarter. Another key play was a blocked 47 yard field goal. And of course, that crirtical third down throw by Tim Tebow to keep the winning drive alive. Oklahoma's defense played great, picking off Tim Tebow twice in the first half. They just couldn't hold Florida. The Sooners played winning football, but not winning against the Gators football.

QUESTIONS FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL
1.Q: Who is your top team in all of college football?
A:I would say that Oklahoma is the strongest team in the nation. But Florida is the most productive. I would go with Oklahoma because they have more composure and weapons on both sides of the ball.
2.Q: What do you think of Tim Tebow?
A: He is a strong player and is willing to do anything to get solid yardage, but sometimes he does the wrong thing. On a video game, I would give him a 97 overall.He is a VERY good QB.
3.Q: Do you think Sam Bradford should have won the Heisman?
A:Sam Bradford is a very good QB and really turned on the jets at the end of the season. If the Heisman was awarded sometime at the beginning of the season, it would be Colt McCoy, QB of the Texas Longhorns. But, I do think that Sam Bradford deserved to win.
4.Q: Should Tim Tebow go to the NFL?
A: If I were Tim Tebow, I could see going either way. The school education that I had would come to mind and so would leaving my friends. I would also think about needing the money. I think Tim Tebow should stay for one more year to do more school, just in case football doesn't work out.
5.Q: Should Notre Dame fire head coach Charlie Weiss?
A: That's a close call. Charlie Weiss has been a legend at Notre Dame and it be sad to see him leave. But, they have to do it sometime before he stats making bad choices for the team. So yes I do think Notre Dame Should fire Charlie Weiss

BIG TEN PREDICTIONS FOR 2009
1. Penn State
With the return of Joe Paterno, the Nittney Lions will be even stronger. They will need some more production on the ground if they want to remain at the top.
2.Ohio State
The Buckeyes looked really strong last year, and with Tyrell Pryor coming back with more experience, it could be tight fight to the top. If Pryor does become what every other team fears, my rankings might become wrong. The James Larinitus loss will make the defense weaker.
3.Michigan State
The Spartans looked pretty good last year with Javon Ringer in the back field. They will need to pass more to let Ringer get some open space because defenses will be all over him. The defense doesn't have any standout players, but if they work together, they will be hard to get by.
4.Minnesota
The Gophers were explosive in the first half of the season. Then, for some reason, they slowed down. They will need more production from wide out Eric Decker in the second half the season. For the defense, middle linebacker Hightower will come back from injury, which was a key loss last year.
5.Iowa
The Hawkeyes played good, hard football last season but still have QB troubles. If they go with Ricky Stanzi (which they probably will), they will HAVE to pass more to give star running back Shonn Green more space to rumble. Their defense must get more pressure on the opposing QB to give the offense more chances.
6.Northwestern
The Wildcats had an O.K. season last year, but losing to some very weak opponents. The running game is successful but the team will need a better passing game to support their running backs. The defense needs to create turnovers to stay in those tight games.
7.Wisconsin
The Badgers had a let-down season last year with QB issues and injuries. The Badgers will need to regroup, stay focused, and find more balance between their runnning and passing games. The defense has some solid players, but must work as a team to be dominant.
8. Illinois
The Illini QB, Isaiah "Juice" Williams, has a good team behind him, but has to utilize all of his different receivers. They will need run more so defenses can't key on Williams and the passing game. The defense is really strong, and will need to use this to their advantage. Otherweise, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot.
9. Purdue
The Boilermakers are coming off of a dissappointing 2008 season. The key loss of QB Curtis Painter really hurts. Their only hope is too somehow find another year of eligibility for Drew Brees. They could be redeemed by their running game, but that is doubtful.
10. Michigan
The tears are barely dry in the eyes of Wolverine fans, as the perennial powerhouse fails to make a bowl game. Coach Rodriguez needs to pull his team together by recruiting and developing players that can effectively play in his spread offense. The defense should start praying right now.
11. Indiana
The "Whosiers?", I mean Hoosiers, struggle to find their team identity. Kellen Lewis, QB, is trying to pull his team together. He is a promising talent, but he doesn't have much of a "supporting cast". The defense should have started praying yesterday.
With the return of Joe Paterno, the Nittney Lions will be even stronger. They will need some more production on the ground if they want to remain at the top.
