At the risk of hot take/emotional reaction—this is becoming an injury disaster.

I miss it: it was a source of great amusement in section 243, row 20.

Appreciate your analysis—we’re also making the trip—hinge game.

Of course because I know more than PJ and the coaching staff I was already kvetching to my son last night that Karmo needs more playing time—he has that “twitch” speed. We have serious athletes at every level on defense.

Key to winning football, stop the run: good start to the season from this perspective.

Buffalo Buffalo!

Now we’re one Big Happy Gopher/Wolverine/Bison family—at least in the Vikings QB room.

Iowa State sends its band to Ireland meanwhile Iowa City and Madison are beyond the reach of the Minnesota band.

Randomly & fondly remembering the ‘89 season (not the OSU meltdown) which began and ended with road wins at Iowa State and Iowa. Basketball team did its part sweeping Iowa and beating Northern Iowa in the NCAA tournament. (For good measure there was also a basketball win at Kansas State—with...
