P.S. Rutgers ran all over poor Howard U, 44-7, while Kaliakmanis added 3 passing TDs, hitting 15 of 24 for 147 yards.

The odd thing is that PJ says out loud what is wrong but can't seem to be able to do anything about it. Brosmer can throw the ball, as we saw at the end, but not in that offense, which is still geared to ball control by running.

PJ just can't put together a passing game - he desperately needs and has needed a really top notch OC, who can bring some imagination to play-calling and can make the best use of Brosmer. Stubbornness and resistance to change are not the hallmarks of a winner.

Their field goal kicker was better than our field goal kicker - which wasn't supposed to happen. It is often said that the biggest improvement is from the first to the second game - hope that happens because losing tonight means winning 6 of the remaining 11 to make a bowl, which won't be easy...

Gophers over NC (going out on a limb here) Nebraska over UTEP LSU over USC (should be close) Notre Dame over Texas Aggies (new coach but will put up a fight - could be close; upset possibility).

Did Nebraska swap Illinois for UTEP? They were scheduled to open with UTEP Aug. 31.

NC - win RI - win NV- win Iowa - loss @Mich - loss USC - loss @UCLA - loss MD - win @ ILL - win @Rutgers - loss Penn State - loss @Wisconsin - win 6-6 and a bowl

More insanity. This is what social anarchy looks like, driven by greed, and with no local government to keep order (the NCAA is now fatally neutered).

It's all terrible - every part of it, from poaching the best teams from other conferences, to having a fan-killing 18 team conference with no divisions, to the 12 team playoff debacle, to the NIL outrages, to the easy transfer rules. It's all anarchy. The only hope is a strong effective...

This happens so often that it shows an indifference to the Spring Game and to the fans.

B10 better form some kind of regional divisions again because no one is going to care about team #11 or lower. The old rules have to be brought back about transferring to end the chaos, and the NCAA has to go back into federal court to get a measure of sane governance back in its hands - all the...

Adding the PCC to our schedule is lunacy - only the wealthy will flourish (Ohio St., Michigan, Penn St.) It's a disaster for us. Money is all that counts now. An 18-team league with no divisions, stuffed with powerful teams from the West Coast. Lunacy. Chip is probably right as to a bowl under...

I remember when he was at Vanderbilt - I was living in Atlanta and watched every Vandy game I could because I was certain he was a coach of the future, though I thought he's stay in the SEC.

The 12-team playoff is a jerry-bult mess - 4 teams can skip the first round, conference champions get in ahead of higher rated teams, it creates a second season, and the Gophers, with PAC heavyweights now wrongly in the conference are unlikely to get near the playoffs. NIL is not on our side...

More craziness - will jack up costs into more $billions and lead to labor unions among players. This is what happens when federal judges mess up local governing bodies. The NCAA had it right for decades: full ride scholarships were pay enough.

What if AK is a big success at Rutgers? That will make the Gopher coaches look bad.

It's an unsustainable system - back to the Stone Age. The NCAA should sue for its previous authority and take it all the way to the Supreme Court, where they might get a better hearing considering the confusion and harm now from not having some overall authority with teeth.

He'll do better there and Rutgers will continue improvement.

Psychological counseling needed for Goopher fans to bring excitement to the issue of whether we beat out someone for 15th place or 16th of 18. having no divisions in the swollen conference remains a terrible idea. It can't last.

60,000 turned out to watch wunderbar QB Dylan Raiola complete 16 of 22 passes for 240 yards and two TDs. He's living up to the hype - definitely can throw the long ball accurately. The back-up QBs looked good, too. With an easier schedule, Huskers could win eight games this year. They benefited...
