Sometimes, I don’t have much to say in these newsletters. Writing these blurbs is slowly becoming a creative exercise and maybe even a form of self-expression. Hopefully, these newsletters are slowly becoming a part of your daily (no pun intended) routine. Scroll and read some news.

P.J. Fleck: ‘We got our butts kicked’ after bad Ohio State loss

by Megan Davis | Sports Editor | Published Oct. 5, 2025

A 42-3 loss at Ohio Stadium meant that head coach P.J. Fleck’s post-game press conference would be brief. The consistent message was that the Gophers could not keep up.

“They had 474 yards of offense, we had 162,” Fleck said. “I think that tells the story, so, not sure if you have any questions after that. I just told you everything.”

Junior Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate had 20 more yards than the entire Gophers team, with 183.

No one wanted to dwell on the loss. However, Fleck said he remains confident that he has a good team.
