This is great, but what a shame we live in an era of greed and anarchy so that any player may skip to another team for more money. That has to be stopped. The portal could be closed by the NCAA - I don't think there's a legal issue there, sit out a year as before. Now we have guys playing for...

We need some running backs. Emmett Johnson made Walter Camp 2nd team All-America - if we'd had him all year, with Darius when healthy, our record might have been 9-3.

The only hope is that Congress passes a bill reinstating amateurism, with the NCAA resuming its role as policeman for colleges. The law would immediately be challenged, eventually reaching the Supreme Court and this time its decision may be rational and favor the bill, ending the anarchy and...

Not bad at all! Phoenix is a much better spot for a bowl game than NYC in December. The Lobos are 9-3 and will make it a good game and there are loads of Minnesotans down there to make a good crowd. Enjoy the sunshine and the margaritas! Gophers are 7-5 and this is a nice sunbelt vacation game...

Top B10 back and 2nd in the nation declares for the pro draft. No senior year.

$91 million contract ($13 million first year). Mississippi's DC, Pete Golding, is immediately made permanent head coach at Ole Miss, which is 11-1 this year.

The old rule on sitting out a year will have to be restored. The anarchy in pay-for-play college football will have to be disciplined with tough rules, as is it in the pros. Anarchy always brings on its opposite because it is untenable. There will be a "Thermidorian Reaction" in college football...

Good points. He's been a 60% winner, the best since pre WWII Bierman! 60% of 12 games is about 7 mathematically; add a bowl and 60% of 13 games is about 8. Basically, that's his record - better than 13 coaches (including Bierman's 2nd, post-war run). We wanted the other 13 coaches to be 70%...

Trying a field goal after last week's field goal experience.

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/will-nebraska-qb-dylan-raiola-transfer/ Based partly on the fact that his younger brother said no to Nebraska. More likely, he can get a huge cash increase elsewhere, despite being paid a $million or so at Nebraska.

What kind of team loses all its road games? Today Gophers couldn't run again and absolutely couldn't stop NW's passing game (why those huge cushions? Like at Oregon, allowing pitch and catch at will). A very disappointing ninth season for this coach, though Drake had a great game - couldn't ask...

Nice comeback, but the Gophers can't have more than 15 yards rushing. Drake is carrying the game with his receivers.

All-whites again, blah. For road games, Gophers should have gold helmets and pants or maroon helmets and pants, gold being much the better. Why PJ goes so often with whites (and once in a while charcoal for home games) is beyond me. The school colors are maroon and gold, beautiful fall colors -...

PJ should let his hair grow out. Like Samson in the Bible, he has lost his strength.
