Let's talk Gopher football a little bit, Jim.

Big win against Michigan.

Whether it's a good Michigan team or not, any win against Michigan is a good one.

And the Gophers are in a good spot through five games so far, 4-1.

Yeah, that is a big victory.

Listen, any time Minnesota beats Michigan under any circumstance is by definition a good victory.

And first time they've won at home against Michigan since 1977, that tells the story right there.

Impressive win.

Also, you know, Drake Lindsey's a good quarterback, and he made a terrible mistake in that game.

They're in field goal range, and he throws a pick six.

Um, if he doesn't do that, the covers win that game going away.

I thought they really pounded Michigan physically and won the line of scrimmage on both sides.

Um, you know, they ran the box.

Well, they stopped the run, you know, Brent Baranowski had another really good game.

Yeah.

They look like a good team and you know, they got whipped by mission Mississippi state, uh, in part because the Mississippi state quarterback was so dynamic and you know, that's, It just happens in college football.

It happens in the NFL, too.

People have bad weeks.

We don't even need to analyze it too much.

But since then, they've been really good.

Yeah, and maybe it's time for a changing of the guard in the backfield.

I mean, everybody loves Darius Taylor, what he's given to the program, the surgeries that he's given to the program, but He's not as explosive as he was, and they have a guy in the backfield in T.J. Thomas who is explosive.

He averaged almost 70 yards a carry this last week.

Yeah, Taylor is a nice all-around back.

He does everything well.
