    So happy for Cole and Darius!

    Kramer hit only 50%, but threw for two TDs and ran for one. Darius had 208 yards at six per carry, which is gold standard territory. Nubin looked good in relief and the defense kept the Gophers in the kind of game they don't like, a wild passing attack. Kramer's 50% included some unwise Hail...

    Playoff could have used 8 teams this year

    GA should be in - a travesty to keep it out. FL State fans screaming, and how about Ohio St, lost only to #1 Michigan by 6 pts? Eight would have accommodated them all, plus TX and Oregon. But next year's arrangement looks weird: 12 teams that include the Power 5 champions whatever their rank or...

    Who will QB in the bowl game?

    Cole? Nobody from the portal. Sounds like a real problem. Will PJ keep it a secret until game time?

    NY Times says one Mich St. player being paid $750,000 a year by boosters

    In a full page Sunday Oct. 22 article, the New York Times, in a huge story, investigated the new charity-connected "collectives," that enroll players in phony charitable activity (such as posting one Tweet or other social notice a month), in a play-for-pay scheme disguised as NIL. Combined with...

    For how many years an 18-team league without divisions?

    The B10 must have plans for some kind of divisions, perhaps contingent on even more new members. Why can't they keep the East-West in the meantime? For balance, add Southern Cal, Washington and Oregon to the West, UCLA to the East, and slide Illinois over to the East. You can't get more "west"...

    Gophers in NCAA stats for half a season

    127th in passing (when have we seen that before?), 40th in rushing. Developing a reliable passing game has been a problem for decades.

    Will have to have divisions in B10

    A list of 18 teams doesn't make a conference - imagine the enthusiasm fans will have being 11th of 18 teams. Adding four genuine powers from the Pacific Coast will just push teams like Minnesota, Purdue, Northwestern probably Nebraska, into the also-rans. If the Gophers couldn't win the West...

    Don't be surprised if the SEC and Big Ten go pro in the future...

    The greed driving college football (and destroying it) logically leads to pro status for the wealthiest conferences and college presidents will go along with it for the money, just as they have gone along with the destruction of conferences, absurdly high coaches' salaries, the...

    If interested in Gopher memorabilia...

    Game programs going back to the Sixties and earlier. Yearly U of M media books on Gophers - many years. Look magazine cover on Giel, Bobby Cox cover, 1956; Newspapers (Strib: 1953, "It's Giel in 22-0 victory" over Michigan; LA Times when '53 Gophers lost 7-17 but could easily have won, the...

    Mo leading the nation...

    Mo leads the nation in rushing yards per game and in rushing TDs. Hope he makes All-American, but the team's overall record always has too much to do with those selections.

    Husker Coach says QB Thompson will probably not play against the Gophers

    In his weekly coach's meeting with media, Mickey Joseph said that QB Casey Thompson probably will not play Saturday and the reserve QBs are being prepared for that eventuality. It is not nailed down but is most likely, he said.

    Hard to understand...

    The rule about receivers having to have control of the ball all the way down, even when going out of bounds or crossing the goal line. If a runner is "on or above" the goal line, it's a TD, even if he fumbles after that moment. Why is that not the case for receivers, including going out of...
