YOUR GUIDE TO THE TWIN CITIES
Phil Miller is returning to his Big Ten roots to follow Minnesota’s football fortunes for the Star Tribune after a decade of chronicling the NBA and Major League Baseball. The Illinois native began his writing career by covering Utah football for six seasons, and still insists that 12-1 Florida stole the 2009 BCS Championship from the unbeaten Utes.
Email Phil to talk about the Gophers.
Rumors, competition and the like
Posted by: under College football Updated: December 9, 2009 - 7:06 PM
Greetings.
Just a quick note between writing my football story for tomorrow and covering the Gophers women's basketball game:
After the Gophers first pre-bowl practice, coach Tim Brewster reiterated that he is not a candidate at Kansas -- or any other school, for that matter -- and said he hadn't contacted Kansas about the position.
He also said that MarQueis Gray will play extensively at wide receiver in the bowl. But, come spring practice, the starting quarterback job will be up for competition between Adam Weber and Gray.
I wrote more about it for tomorrow's paper, but Gray is excited about the upcoming competition and Weber welcomes it.
Couple other quickies: Mike Rallis (leg) and Xzavian Brandon (knee) both practiced for the first time Wednesday.
That's about it. Have a good night.
