The cross country and distance track teams at Minnesota aren't especially great considering they have a yearly pool of about 70 distance girls but it has some foundation and history.Without Wils in the picture anymore the gopher gals may end up taking a hit in terms of recruiting and struggling in the Big Ten. Wils was truly a leader and caretaker of women's sports in the Midwest. Something about him in the driver's seat made perfect sense at the University of Minnesota.

Wils is a great, great man and he'll be missed.

But I know he thinks the world of Sarah Hesser and her ability. It'll be a big change to go from a smart-ass, huge-hearted dad kind of coach to a big sister kind of coach, but I would not write the Gophers off.

I concur, he seems to be perfectly confident of his replacement in terms of what she might accomplish. There are no guarantees in life, although somethings are more likely than others.

Nice f'cking Obama poster. What a douche. Is he living on the dole, too? Of course he is. Looks like my tax dollars bought him a Chris Craft. Lucky me.

So wait, run this by me again... what exactly has Sarah Hesser proven other than she could boink Gary Wilson in his office for eight straight years and secure an undeserved coaching position? That's not an 'ability', that's called having a secretary.
