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.

It seemed to me that the Oregon crowd and the team were taking it out on us for their bad showing at Iowa. The crowd never stopped roaring at every Gopher play. The Gophers can't compete with the top third of the present B10. This is the ninth year and they should have 4 and 5* players by this time.

Right, he did not have control of the ball when he crossed the scoring line.

Unless Congress or the courts stop this madness, inevitably most 1A teams will drop out because of the financial burden and the inherent unfairness in a buy-your-players system. The Gophers would end up with something like N. Dakota State in Fargo, which wouldn't be bad - smaller stadium, which...

No.

Bravo! Rick Atkinson's "Liberation" trilogy on the army in WWII and Ian Toll's navy Pacific War trilogy are also superb - real page-turners (Toll puts you right on the heaving carrier, heat and humidity, the night time skies, the fear, the bravery - the big sea battles, the island landings). I...

White uniforms are totally blah, but I notice more teams are wearing them this year for road games - can't understand why. Get the school colors into every game, home or road, and no ugly charcoal at home, which is worse than all-whites. We have three colors the designers can play with: maroon...

With only three games left, play him - which is what he wants and what fans want. The more time he spends running, the fewer points Oregon's offense runs up.

This greed is killing college football - the insane portal, where kids may play at 3 or 4 schools; the NIL and pay-for-play lunacies - which most schools will not be able to afford and which is totally unfair to individual students and to most schools. It will lead to a small true professional...
