Coach Niko isn't the guy I would have chosen, but it's hard to criticize after a game like tonight's! I'm thinking a couple of games at Williams this year looks like fun.
Nestor reminds me Terrell Buckley. Remember the Crouton? A good player who made some big plays, but got burned more often than you'd expect. And in the end, a lot of people remember the burns instead of the big plays.
We've enjoyed three decisive wins this season, against Buffalo, Northwestern State, and Nebraska. Then there are three skin-of-your-teeth victories over Rutgers, Michigan State and Purdue. Change one important play in each of those games and you're 3-9.
At least the Northwestern game was a...
Texan Gophers getting personal with the kicker again. Criticize the coach, and point out mistakes or failures by the team, but don't take personal shots at these young men.
You might need to put a cork in it till you sober up.

Tracy: 4 catches, 3 TDs

Some people don't like to hear it, but this Gophers team is not good. They were lucky to be 6-3, and now they're lucky to be 6-4.
The good news? They'll be older next year.
Sure it's a fumble, with an unsuccessful attempt to recover. The only argument against is to say that the same guy lost control of the ball twice, but scored a touchdown because he controlled it for less than a second in between.
It's what you can call a Helmet School Ruling.
I used to be the biggest Big Ten lover and apologist. But it's changed from a prestigious and serious athletic conference with academic ambitions to little more than a money vehicle. We used to promote amateurism and academic excellence, and now we're only about money and winning, all the...
