Woog has admitted to being over in Wisconsin recruiting, and Talafous lives
in Hudson (just across the border, pretty much a suburb really) so this is
certainly not out of the question.  Generally I think the Pioneer Press is
a little hick paper, but I do agree that Walters is way better than Grandpa
Sid (I believe his quote last week was something to the effect of "The
Twins can make noise this year with all of their young talent"!)  Whether
we think its good or not, I think Walters is probably accurate in saying
that Woog's job is safe.  He's been a relatively successful coach here, and
I think the U. brass gives him some lee way because of Crowley and
Rasmussen leaving early, and some of the seniors having dreadful years (see
Anderson, Mike and Kohn, Bill)
