Ole Miss to the women’s college World Series is actually quite impressive.

Coach Trachsel sure did great again. Good for her.

Zero pre 2011 Big Ten teams made the ncaa baseball tournament. Big Ten expansion has been and will be a disaster for far-northern, legacy Big Ten programs like Minnesota for the two sports played on the diamond. A complete disaster.

Besides football (that team deserves credit!) all the sports I have tried to follow were the most boring to follow in decades: Baseball… boring! Softball… boring! Basketball.. boring! Volleyball… boring. Conference championships (even participation in conference championship games) are now...

The addition of USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon has led to the worst single all-sports school year 2024-2025 in the history of the Gopher athletic program. I knew adding those west coast teams to the Big Ten would be catastrophic for Gopher athletics… and it has been.

You all have read a lot from me over the years on this message board; but I am out. I just don’t care about Gophers softball at all anymore; not even a little bit.

I strongly support the college sports of track and field, cross country, gymnastics, and women’s soccer… but I bet not 0.05 percent of the Minnesota population can name a single student athlete on any of those teams.

The Gopher athletic program writ large is not in a good spot right now. Only football seems to be carrying its weight in my opinion. Many other Gopher sports teams appear to have dropped off quite a bit from 5-10 years ago; especially on the women’s side.

My guess is the number count of posts on this message board are going to keep going even further down… precipitously.

It sure didn’t look like many people were at the Gophers game tonight in Oklahoma. Americans need to get up off the couch and go out into the world.

Minnesota is in the position we are always in as a far-Northern school, we need to get lucky. Current players need to take a big step up in their development and we need a pitcher that has “it.” Moulton, Groenewagen, Fiser, and Pease are recent examples of a Gopher pitcher who had a strikeout...

Well… there is zero chance we are making the NCAA tournament this year. But the goal is to do well in the Big Ten tournament. It is just so sad that those money grubbing fools at the Big Ten Conference allowed UCLA, Oregon, and Washington to come in and take up the three of the four Big Ten...

“Change” is an enticing nymph, but change almost always ends but for the worse. I think that it would almost certainly be for the worse in this case.

I kinda don’t know why they didn’t start Snippes today against NDSU. Keep it rolling is my basic theory on starting players who are in the zone.

Schwartz needed the improvement to her ERA numbers. Good for her to have that great game today.
