Minnesota recruit Whaley recuperating after being shot in leg

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota coach Tim Brewster said running back recruit Kevin Whaley is "fortunate that he's alive" after being shot in the leg outside a Virginia night club earlier this month.

Police say Kevin Whaley was leaving the club in his hometown of Virginia Beach, Va., shortly after 2 a.m. on March 22 when a vehicle pulled up and a gunman opened fire, hitting the Salem High School star in the leg.

Whaley was hospitalized with "non-life threatening injuries," but is back at home recovering, Brewster said Tuesday.

"I talked to Kevin yesterday," Brewster said. "He was very upbeat, very positive. He said, 'Coach I didn't run the 40 but I was out walking in the hallway."'

Scouting the Big Ten: Minnesota Golden Gophers


By Kyle Nagel
Staff Writer

Tuesday, August 19, 2008

Scouting the Gophers
2007: 1-11, 0-8 Big Ten
Last 5 years: 31-31, 15-25
Last bowl: 2006 Insight Bowl, 44-41 loss to Texas Tech
Coach: Tim Brewster Starters returning: 8 on offense, 7 on defense
Positive vibes: Optimism surrounds Minnesota's new TCF Bank Stadium, which will open in 2009. The Gophers could use a better season to prepare, and they do return 15 starters.
Negative vibes: Tough to be optimistic after a one-win season, although Brewster is one of the more energetic coaches in the conference.

Mason is assigned to Gophers vs. OSU

Marlin Levison, Star Tribune

Glen Mason will serve as honorary Buckeyes captain, then work the televised Gophers-OSU game.

Last update: September 15, 2008 - 11:23 PM

Glen Mason will be a Big Ten Network television analyst for a Gophers football game for the first time when Minnesota plays at Ohio State on Sept. 27. The former Gophers coach will celebrate a more significant milestone before the game when he serves as an honorary captain for Ohio State, the school where he played and worked as an assistant coach.
Awkward?
"I don't think so," Mason said Monday after learning he'd be working the game. "Even when I do games like this weekend -- I've got Penn State against Temple -- I still have to be impartial, even though I'm a Big Ten guy."

This is kinda off-topic kinda not but.... why is it listed on osu.edu that nexts years game also going to be Minnesota @ Ohio State?

I'm assuming that has something to do with the new stadium or it's and error or.....?

BigTen scheduling changes next year... it is done so each team gets 4 home and 4 away games each year. The same thing happened with Wisconsin a couple of years ago... I believe we played them in 2002 and 2003.

Correct. We played at Madison in 2002 (day game) and 2003 (night game).

Correct me if I am wrong, but there are two teams that Ohio State will always play, and always play at home in even years, and on the road in odd years...and that is Penn State and Michigan. I think quite a few teams have "rivals" locked in like this in the Big Ten. My feeling always was, that we should be playing Michigan and Illinois every year. I think it just became Penn State because when they joined the conference, they had no rivals, and we were the closest team to them, AND PSU and OSU along with Michigan were supposed to dominate the Big Ten.

I don't like playing Minnesota...they seem to always play us better than they play everyone else.

Didn't OSU play at Penn St two years in a row also? I think the year of the rout loss (66-19 or whatever) and the next year win (28-21 or whatever) were both in Happy Valley.

Yep, I was right. Google is my friend

* Oct. 29, 1994, at University Park, Pa: Penn State (1) 63, Ohio State (21) 14 -- In a season of great performances, top-ranked Penn State probably had its greatest in this win over the Buckeyes. Ki-Jana Carter, who grew up just 10 miles from the OSU campus in Westerville, blistered OSU for 137 yards and four touchdowns. QB Kerry Collins threw for 265 yards and two scores. PSU jumped out to a 35-0 lead and never looked back.
PSU outgained OSU 572-214. The Nittany Lions went on to finish 12-0, winning the Big Ten and defeating Oregon in the Rose Bowl. But Nebraska claimed the consensus national championship. OSU ended up 9-4.
* Oct. 7, 1995, at University Park, Pa.: Ohio State (5) 28, Penn State (12) 25 -- OSU avenged its humiliation from a year earlier by rallying for a big win at Happy Valley. QB Bobby Hoying, who threw for 354 yards and three TDs, led OSU on a six-play, 58-yard scoring drive to the game winning points. The key play was his 32-yard pass down the middle of the field to TE Rickey Dudley, which set up Eddie George’s 6-yard TD run with 1:42 left.
