I’m watching all these other games this afternoon and seeing lots of nifty plays that involve some creativity and misdirection and innovation. Should I sketch them on a napkin and mail them to Fleck and Sanford?

If you’re a highly-regarded TE or WR, why in god’s name would you ever want to play in this offense?

Losing to Ohio St. raised concerns?

There’s no line listed yet for Minnesota v. Bye. Does Bye have injury issues? That seems like a trap game.

After two games, the Gophers have: 1. Lost to Ohio St. 2. Beaten Miami University That’s exactly what 99% of fans thought would happen. Why all the angst?

"Maude! Come over here! I know it says Minnesota on the screen, and the announcers keep saying Minnesota, and there's a giant M on the field, and the cheerleader flags keep spelling Minnesota, and they keep showing a Gopher mascot, but...dadgum it, they're wearing black uniforms. What team is that?"

You’re right, they didn’t. There’s a chance I might be a complete idiot, and here’s why: I was actually at that game. I was obviously thinking about being at the Gopher game two days earlier. I don’t think I was drinking that much, but maybe I was. Maybe too much football is addling my brain...

Iowa State has worn black uniforms many times over the past few years. In fact, they wore them last week.

Yeah, I noticed that.

That gives me chills to this day. I want to grab something and run somewhere.

It's always such an interesting dance between programs and offered kids. Were his initial P6 offers committable? I don't know. But if they were, and he sidled away looking for additional and more exciting dance partners, and then those schools decided he wasn't good enough to wait around for...

Former ISU starter as well. You don't often get a chance to start for three different college teams.

I think my post was a lot more simplistic than what you were driving at. After a couple years away, I just want to hear the roar of the Barn again from the inside.

I just want to get back in the Barn for a couple games. I miss that old geezer.

I tell you what, this is a good sign. Three high-quality Minnesota kids from three different AAU programs who play three different positions. Time to get Jayden Pierre at the point and put a bow on an outstanding first recruiting class!

I thought about Lindsay Wagner.

"Coaches Poll" is always kind of funny to me because I'd wager a tidy sum that not a single coach actually fills out a ballot. The sports information directors do it for them. But not a single, measly, 25th-place vote for the good guys? That's crazy. I'm taking the Gophers against the spread...

Good stats, but what are you trying to say?

I don't know why pundits aren't climbing on board the Gopher train. What am I missing here? 1. A fifth-year QB who was magical two years ago 2. An offensive line that is talented, has future pros on it, and might be the most experienced in the nation 3. A defense that can't possibly be worse...

Are you on a cross country bus trip?
