We get it, you don’t much like Shaff. No need to shoehorn Pittman’s calling it quits after 5 years as a Gopher into your broader vendetta. There is other information that you have to carry out your arguments, namely and most prominently, the Gophers slipping winning percentage.

This assessment is logical and therefore the most likely explanation.

Reminder: change can make things better or worse. Change can lead to a full tailspin.

That’s not going to happen. Our roster is already too numerous.

Makes sense. Portal plus NIL is just killing my interest in college sports. Why wouldn’t it also damage Coach Hugh’s desire to coach?

I don’t think I’ll watch. Too painful 😖.

I see Allison Benning transferred from Oregon to the University of North Florida. I had in the back of my mind that she was a potential player to return home to the Gophers after trying out Oregon. I guess it wouldn’t have worked out on either or both sides.

The best I know of.

There are #1 recruits and then there are #1 recruits. Meaning, there are times where there is high school age player who is so head and shoulders above the rest in their skills and abilities that everyone knows will change the college game (for instance, Kathryn Plummer) and then there are...

Michigan used to be a good team with a lot of natural advantages as a recruiting draw and now they suck. That could easily be us. One of the problems I have with some Gophers fans is the sense of entitlement in thinking we will always be a top 3 Big Ten team. It’s just not the way it works for...

It is possible that the injuries impede her ability to play at the tippy-top highest strata in the college game again. To be near the best group of athletes in the college game, players need to be 100 percent. She seems not-insignificantly diminished by leg injury which negatively impacts her...

I think we will have a Big Ten championship batting order, but a big question as to what part of the Big Ten our pitching would rank. I forgot that we have Snippes as well, I wonder how Snippes and Richardson will compare to one another and potentially compliment one another on the mound.

Choboy decommitting hurt quite bad, in my opinion. Wucherer has lots of talent and as this is only starting her a sophomore year, she is very valued as a Gopher, this year and in the future. Landfair has been here four years.

Richardson’s capabilities may be the most important open question as to how well the Gophers softball team performs in 2024. If she can pitch at the college level, that may be numerous more games in the win column versus the scenario where she can’t get college batters out. There are few other...

To be honest, I don’t care even a little bit about the above. I only care about how much entertainment I get from following the team and their games. It’s 100 percent about entertainment; a distraction from the real world to be enjoyed by the fan. If my team (the Gophers) is not as competitive...

Which is why this (“the goal is win a conference with historically 3 good teams”) is and has for 50 years for Big10 teams playing within the NCAA baseball/softball structure been the appropriate goal the fan should have for their team. I likely will never cheer on another conference tournament...

I think I agree with some of the sentiments above, although I was not there to see it. I guess the question this comment poses however is what the heck does “good enough” really mean? We will clearly be down this year as our pitching will be down compared to the past dozen years or more. But, I...

Fair point! Maybe I was too crabby yesterday and shouldn’t have posted that. Maybe that post was too strong. But still, for the record, I was pro-Hugh through it all.

This is the attitude that drives me crazy… a hope-y change-y philosophy. In my posts over the past few years I tried to convince some fans that it would not get better than Coach McCutchen, and here we are with posts like this. Drives me crazy. “Change” plays to people’s hopes, but hopes are...

Thank you for that update! Very helpful, and I am glad you got to talk to Autumn Pease. I hope she is well. What is she doing these days?
