Go Gophers!!

So, can he travel with the team when they fly?

A nice consolation after being passed over for Nekton of the week.

Not sure what you mean, Slab?

This team is coming together. Many players listed for various awards and all Big 10 etc.

I don't know. I'm still worried.

Yeah, yeah... we've got Coughlin, Martin and Barber.

But what about depth? Our third-string linebacker corps is totally untested...
