SOMEWHERE LLOYD CARR IS SMILING...

The AP is reporting Minnesota 1,000-yard rusher Gary Russell isn't signed up for classes this fall, meaning he will not play for the Golden Gophers either.

Whew.

This year we can breath easy when the game is tied, Minnesota is 3rd and 10 from their own 26-yard line, and the Gophers decide to run the clock out.

I can already taste the Little Brown Jug...
