Who would have guessed that UCLA would lose two straight? Even after losing the first game, I bet most people thought they'd still come out of the regional. Wow!

And all four were starters for most of the season.

How often does it happen that the four highest ranked big ten men's track and field teams are the four western-most schools: Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and Minnesota? (Last year Ohio State was the conference champion, and those other four schools game in 2nd through 5th.)

Michigan has been in the NCCAs every year since 1995. 'Twas a pretty good streak if they don't make it this year.

Might Cook's coaching of the U-19 Pan-American team for the next couple of weeks have put signings on the back burner?

Does anyone have an explanation for basically all of the polls having Northwestern in the 18-19 range, while its RPI is up there at #8?

Who would have thought there'd ever be a day when the Gophers would sweep Michigan in three games -- even during the last weekend of the regular season when RPIs don't move as much -- and their RPI would go down?

Or maybe, "P(l)ease win this series, ladies!"

Her name isn't quite (but almost) as hard to spell as Krzyzewski. Let's hope she has similar success.

Gophers go into the 4th quarter with a six-point lead, and then Ohio State runs off 14 straight points before a time-out is called. Much too slow! Ouch!

Thanks for the new board! But why is it called "Gopher Women's Volleyball Forum" instead of simply the "Gopher Volleyball Forum"? For that matter -- and I'm sure someone must have pointed this out in the past -- why is the men's basketball forum called "Golden Gopher Basketball Forum" and the...

After reading what those who have been coached by her are saying, I don't think we could have hired anyone better. To a program like Minnesota's, she is going to be able to recruit like crazy. I think she probably was a better hire than even Cook himself -- and that's saying something.

That's interesting. But I kind of like it when people refer to them by their first names. Knowing them personally isn't the only thing that might indicate. It also might indicate you're treating them as human beings, not as commodities whose purpose is to entertain us as we root for our favorite...

With Barnes and Booth transferring from Minnesota to Wisconsin, does that make Wisconsin the B Team?

Twelve of the 14 were seniors or graduate students. Only Kami Miner of Stanford (sophomore) and Taylor (redshirt sophomore) weren't. Very impressive!

And her re-ranking now has the Gophers 4th, right behind Texas, Lousville, and Wisconsin. And who do you think she now has at #5? None other than the Gophs opponent, Ohio State.

Well, let's hope it's not Ohio State. I think they're playing at the same 11:00 a.m. time.

Of the top 16 seeds, 14 have won, and Oregon is up two-to-one in sets. Only Creighton lost. It looks like we'll have three regionals with 1-2-3-4 seeds, and one regional with 1-2-3-5 seeds.
