    what rivalries should be

    I attended Cornell for a year back in the mid 90's as they do a block plan for class schedule (1 class at a time for 3.5 weeks) It's known as the Macalester of Iowa. Very left-leaning campus and usually non-competitive in athletics. The Cornell v Coe rivalry was pretty good though. They do...

    Your favorite bits of Gopher lore or obscure details

    You can tell who the long-time die hard fans are if they are still wearing the long-sleeved gold shirts they used to give away to season ticket holders at the Metrodome. There are fewer and fewer of us each year, and the shirts themselves are breaking down, but they're still out there.

    This team underachieved and that is very disappointing. They lose a lot of upper classman and it will be interesting to see who leaves/arrives with the portal. Desperate need for a catcher to replace Neels/Hunt. Currently nobody on roster plays that position.

    Whelan is Ricky Vaughn out there. As soon as they brought him in I said Huskers would tie it on a wild pitch. I was one batter off. They took the lead on a wild pitch. Absolutely horrendous. Program is so snake bitten

    Newcomers/younger players who caught my eye (spring game)

    Not enough has been said about Warren, IMHO. He didn't particularly stand out in the game by throwing pancake blocks, but he was going against some really good edge rushers and holding his own in the limited action we saw. But what impressed me more wasn't the execution, but the effort. Even...

    You raise an interesting question. I didn't pay any mind to the "tied or not" comment.

    You shouldn't include Illinois at this time. If there's a 3-way tie for 12th spot and: Iowa is 8th seed: Michigan State wins tie-breaker Illinois is 8th seed: Penn State wins tie-breaker Rutgers is 8th seed: Michigan State wins tie-breaker (I think...took a very quick glance) Washington is 8th...

    Bullpen blows a 4-1 lead. Some reason Sperry was the third out of the bullpen. Trailing 4-8 now. Can't help but think we blew our chance. Some head scratching decisions for sure

    Selvig pulled after 4 innings and only 56 pitches. Can't help but think the delay had something to do with that. Now the bullpen risks being stretched all weekend.

    Why are we trying to steal 3rd with a left handed batter up (also the 9-hitter) with 2 outs? He's thrown out of course. Him being at 3rd would have done nothing. He still would have scored on a base hit from 2nd. Now we have Mosh leading off instead of Spanier. I'm really baffled by that.

    ....but he makes up for it with a double to the gap in the 4th to give the Gophers a 2-1 lead. Nice!

    McDevitt does the weirdest challenges....and they never work. Nebraska gets a leadoff single and then bunts him over to 2b. The throw to first was inside the baseline so Bello had to make a nice reach to get it but the runner collided with him. McDevitt challenged the collision. I'm...

    Interesting decision to go with Hellum at DH today. He's 4 for 24 on the season. Well 4 for 25 now as he struckout with a runner in scoring position in the 2nd.

    It's not the most epic collapse on the list since the team was already down 3 games to 1 but blowing a 3-0 lead in an elimination game by giving up 3 goals in the final 7:25 of game time has to at least warrant it's inclusion on the list of choke jobs/heartbreak, especially on the hockey side.

    Thursday's game has been moved up to 2pm due to forecasted storms in the late afternoon/evening. Friday is at 5pm. Both were slated to be televised on BTN but with Thursday's start moving up I'm not sure if that is still the case.

    Good chance IMHO. Nebraska is 15-0 at home but away from LIncoln their conference record is 5-7. 2-1 at Michigan 1-2 at Oregon 2-1 at Illinois 0-3 at Ohio State They have yet to sweep a road series and the Gophers have been playing teams tough.

    The only 2-team tie Minnesota can have for the final spot is with Sparty, since they are already at 11 wins. If Minnesota and Washington both get swept then it's a 3-way tie. Sparty's record against the top 8 seeds is 3-12, Minnesota would be 2-14 and Washington would be 4-11. We'd be...
