The creation of South Saskatchewan
The newspaper guys were just talking about North Dakota and made some comments about them. I am sure this one is going to come back to bite me someday, but someone said if Canada did take over North Dakota, what would they be called? Well, they came up with South Saskatchewan would be the new name. You heard it here first folks. Granted North Dakota is south of Manitoba…..
Anyways, it seems like the tight ends will see more receptions in Gordon Shaw’s offense. Brandon White has two receptions in the spring game and Mitch Mohr has two as well. Mohr had two receptions all of last year, and White only had one. The tight ends combined for nine receptions all of last year with one touchdown. Shaw was able to get his tight ends involved in the offense at Minnesota. Their first priority is blocking, but they were always reliable in the passing game.
When I talked to Shaw today, he said if he was at Minnesota still, he would’ve recruited London Landry and Mohr to play for the Golden Gophers. That is high praise from a guy who knows that position well. It will be interesting to see how that successful the tight ends will be in the upcoming year.
By the way, I interviewed Shaw on 91.1, the local radio station. It was on Sports Weekly, a weekly show I do on Fridays from 12-2 with Drew Quandt. Many of the Volante reporters have contributed as well. Yes, I know, shameless plug, but hey, advertising isn’t cheap nowadays.
