I can't imagine Lindenwood bringing in any visiting fans. St. Thomas would at least be interesting. It would be a real mismatch, but you'd have some St. Thomas fans finding their way across the river to watch.

The game easily could have been well over 100 points if we hadn't been playing 2nd and 3rd string players. It's a great opportunity to give some of these players a chance to play. I looked at the Media Guide: https://gophersports.com/documents/2025/8/18/2025_FB_MediaGuide_forWeb.pdf And it was...

Gophers 49-10. NW State gets an early FG and a TD late in the 4th.

I'm on board and rowing for this.

Well, if we're going by Sagarin... Northwestern State is #253, and the Gophers would be favored at home by 46.64 points.

It was a fun game - got a little too exciting for a while. Nice cool football weather. We sat near the student section, they're always fun.

I would have preferred the NFL start a minor league - pop the whole NCAA bubble. I don't think this situation is at all sustainable.

But, wait! There's more!

Game, set, mayo

If the Gophers had kicked the XP, hadn't gotten the FG and Illinois had scored a TD to get the win, people would be saying "Why didn't they go for 2?" The call make sense.

Doesn't work that way. Part of talent is hanging on to the ball and not getting heavily penalized. Teams often get heavily penalized because the other team is more talented they're cutting corners to have a chance.

We've got to stop making this look so easy...

Uff da, but in a good way, for doncha know.

Going for the TD made sense. If you miss, USC has 99 yards to go, they'd just be focused on avoiding the safety and getting to OT.

Bemidji State.

If the minor league was getting the best athletes out of high school people might show up to see the future NFL players. Most of the players in these other leagues aren't going to play in the NFL.

If it were up to me, I'd have the NFL pop the bubble by creating a minor league.

Spirit's fine, if you don't mind having to get out and push halfway.

I just wanted to make sure what we had enough time to run all the plays we might need. It's great that we scored a TD, but I would have hated to settle for a FG just because there wasn't enough time left.

Very good. Perhaps we can play a segment from that video at the stadium. Purely for educational purposes, mind you.
