Bye Week: Know your GopherHole West Contributor: Ask Noel Thompson.

[NoelarBear]

Since the Gophers are on a bye, there won't be my weekly "Know Your Opponent" article.

Instead, feel free to ask any Gophers, Disneyland, California, or whatever questions this way and I will try my best to answer them!

Player from last years recruiting class not named Karmo that you are the most excited about?

Great question.

The easy answer would be wideout Bradley Martino, who was the No.12 athlete in his class. The athleticism is there, obviously. I'm excited to see how he develops.

Grant Washington has already shown some promise, as he did against Northwestern State.

CB Naiim Parrish could be a stud in a year or two as well.

I know how PJ is with info regarding injuries, that being said, any insights as to when/if Driver will be back? Or what the injury was?

From what little PJ has said about Driver, it appears to be more of a “off the field” issue.

He has yet to dress for any game and has been in street clothes cheering on his teammates.

Who knows when he will be back. He did get married in the offseason and has been active in his social media accounts supporting the team.

Better ride - the original Tower of Terror or the new version themed Guardians of the Galaxy. I have my opinion but want to hear yours. (Technically not Disneyland but California Adventure)

They initially stated he was injured, and in those social media posts he’s literally out jogging around the lakes, and visiting his wife at Penn St.

I heard Martino was hurt walker this year. Is he healthy now and just save for next year?

He wasn’t listed on the availability report last week. Which means he is healthy. My bet is they redshirt him and get him healthy for next year.

As much as I hate change, give me Guardians. The random songs/story every ride is great. They’re custom videos during Halloween is awesome too.

Toughest thing about being "out there"as the "voice" of hte Gopher fan base? Is the gig worth the aggravation?
