University of Minnesota head football coach Tim Brewster has announced that red-shirt freshman quarterback Clint Brewster will transfer for the upcoming school year and football season.
The following is head coach Tim Brewster's statement on Clint's decision: "Clint Brewster has decided to transfer. I respect and admire Clint's decision to further his education and play football elsewhere."
It would be safe to speculate that playing time was the major factor with Clint's decision to leave the U. Just one year ahead of Brewster on the depth chart is Adam Weber, a quarterback who set many single season records during his first season as a starting quarterback. Also factor in that just one year behind Weber will be high school All-American quarterback MarQueis Gray.
Minnesota Day on BTN
The University also announced today that the Big Ten Network will feature Minnesota on June 23rd.
On Monday, June 23, the Big Ten Network cheers "Ski U Mah!" with 24 consecutive hours of University of Minnesota programming.
The day will feature some of Minnesota's best performances in 2007-08, including the Gophers' miracle finish against Indiana in the Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament quarterfinals, the men's ice hockey team's victory against border rival Wisconsin, the Big Ten Women's Swimming and Diving Championships, the Big Ten Women's Indoor Track and Field Championships and the volleyball team's win at Ohio State.
At 8 PM CT, the Big Ten Network will present a special edition of Big Ten Tonight, the Minnesota Year in Review. The show will recap all the great Gopher moments of the past 12 months.
In addition to the most recent triumphs, the network will also re-air two Minnesota victories from the series, The Big Ten's Greatest Games, including the 1999 football victory against Penn State and the 1993 men's basketball victory against Georgetown.
The schedule also contains all eight episodes of the series, Minnesota Basketball: The Journey. Beginning with Media Day in October and ending with a postseason appearance in March, fans will be able to re-live the entire unforgettable first season under coach Tubby Smith, including special post-game locker room footage after Blake Hoffarber's amazing buzzer-beater against Indiana in the Big Ten Tournament.
Throughout the month of June, the Big Ten Network has aired university-themed programming for a full 24 hours devoted to each of the Big Ten member institutions, including Purdue (June 2), Iowa (June 4), Michigan (June 5), Illinois (June 9), Indiana (June 11), Northwestern (June 12), Ohio State (June 16), Penn State (June 18), Wisconsin (June 19), Minnesota (June 23) and Michigan State (June 25).
