Oregon 42 Gophers 27

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...

Louisville Oregon S.D. State Georgia

He was amazing. Raiola can't run, which makes the difference - Lateef hit 13 of 15 (3 TDs) and ran for 31, often escaping tacklers to complete a pass. Emmett Johnson (who should be a Gopher) had 129 running and 103 receiving for 232 total. How did the Gophers hold the Huskers to two field goals...

Gophers don't look good on offense when Darius is out of the game because they become one-dimensional - they need depth at running back. Defense has been scrappy in almost every game (Iowa?)

Anyone watching the game on TV would think Rossi was the head coach at MSU. They had the camera on him relentlessly - rubbing it in or what?

We should have Emmett Johnson, who leads the B10 in rushing and is #2 in the nation at nearly 6 yards per carry. A Minnesota "Mr. Football" from Minneapolis, he wasn't recruited by PJ, yet wanted to play here. Recruiting is the problem.

White on the road, black at home. Ugh. Whatever happened to the school colors - maroon and gold. They are the colors of Autumn and look great in many configurations. Black, white, ugh.

Yes, this was the worst...real pain.

Minnesota USC Texas Air Force

Yes, you'd think in the ninth year the program would be going somewhere, but PJ is coaching 2 and 3* players when he needs 4 and 5* players. Drake, Koi and Marius are up there, but we need a team of them to take on the big boys. Recruiting is the issue in the 9th year, and now that players are...

Gophers likely will not win more than two of the remaining four games and they will have to fight and scrap to do that, with Wisconsin and Mich. State best hopes for wins. They play badly on the road, so N'Western and Oregon are likely losses, Oregon a big one. 7-5 season - win the bowl and it's...

Fleck is a 60% winner, better than 13 previous coaches going back to 1941, and he does it with 2 and 3* players. 60% is an average of about 7 wins a year. If he had 4 and 5* players he'd likely win an average of 9 games a year or better. Recruiting is the problem - why isn't Emmett Johnson...

It's recruiting - Emmett Johnson "Mr. Football" from Minneapolis, playing for Nebraska, was leading the B10 in rushing before today's games and had 124 yds today. If we had him this year, backing up Darius, we'd have won at CA and done better today, though still losing. Fleck has won 60% of his...

Franklin started at Vanderbilt, which is hotter now than when he was there. He'll land on his feet, but I doubt he'd be interested in a mediocre B10 team like Minnesota.

Also, Iowa has had only two coaches since 1978 - stability means a lot, helps recruiting.
