Daily Breakdown

Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2025

Good morning,

Quote of the day - “Always leave ‘em wanting more.” This is what I tell my roommate’s cat every time I stop petting him on my way to work, but it also applies to this newsletter.

We have stories on the recent Gopher football loss against Ohio State, Sonic’s grand opening at Coffman, a UMN Asian Pacific Resource Center facing difficulty and a Taylor Swift album review. And more, quite frankly. It’s fabulous.

If you ain’t hungry for more, you ain’t eating, sister. Go check it out.

Respectfully yours,

Sam Hill | Managing Editor | [email protected]

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

by Megan Davis | Sports Editor | Published Oct. 6, 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.
