Hawaii should give the Bruins a bit of a challenge and a chance to tweak some things before their match up with LSU a week later.

As a Duck I probably oughta root for my Pac 12 brethren in that game. But, having in lived in BR for a number of years, and with a wife, daughter and son who are alums of LSU ... GEAUX Tigers!

For the big match up the following week, I'm wondering how many points Nick's going to give me.

Thanks, Baz. Another sign that summer is getting long in the tooth. I look forward to the Saturdays in autumn.

Army plays Wisconsin in Madison in October. Several of us classmates/best friends are meeting one of our group that lives in Madison and going to the game. Should be a blast, regardless of score.

Hey Rob....the fellow who lives in Madison can tell you what I already know. Those Badgers are a blast to hang out with - especially when it comes to their sports!

That should be a fun game!

We get to see Trevor Lawrence's back-up, Sophomore DJ Uiagalelei get tested against Georgia in Charlotte Labor Day weekend. People are starting to freak that COVID might cut down on seating at the game. We'll see. Seems like NC isn't overly concerned about pushing mandates anymore for outdoor venues. Back in April they had limited outdoor gatherings to something like 250.

At the half.......

Minnesota Gophers: 14
The Ohio State Buckeyes: 10

[cabmandone]

Gonna find out what Stroud is made of in the 2nd half. He did not look good in the first half.

[cabmandone]

There we go.

COSTLY late hit that reversed an INT.

Man we're in for a fight. I thought this would be a good game.

[SCadaddle]

Awww HELL!

I just noticed this thread, just turned to find the game on my TV and the Gopher QB gets stripped and THE Ohio State returns it for a TD!

My sincere apologies to everyone NOT in Ohio!

[cabmandone]

D needs to tighten up in a BIG way and Day needs to let our run game help settle Stroud down. 1st half was a mess for Stroud. Too many off target balls. The 2nd half he settled down and had a really solid game but our D was atrocious! Hope the injury to Ibrahim isn't season ending. That guy is a talent and fun to watch.

I think MN's rank, or lack thereof, is a bit unfair.

[ckelly78z]

OSU didn't do too bad with a freshman QB, against a 5th year senior QB, the big 10's leading rusher, and those horses on the O line for the Gophers (#78 was 6'9" 380#).

Obviously growing pains for the Buckeyes, but a solid foundation that ultimately rose to the occasion.

[IROC]

Tennessee has a long season ahead. 38-6 over Bowling Green last night, but much less domination than the score indicates.

3-4 wins max this year.

I watched a bit of Tennessee game. You are probably right unfortunately.

I spent a few minutes gong over their transfers. Holy crap there was a large number.

Anyone else think this transfer portal free agency thing is going to have a negative impact??
