I thought I had read in some earlier comment that the Gophers and Wisconsin might try to make up some of those postponed games, with one or two mid-week games, like Michigan and Michgan State did (or are doing). Is there some reason this hasn't been done? I realize no game could be scheduled for...

Gophers lose the first to Iowa 3-1; win the second 5-4. Michigan wins two over Northwestern, 7-2 and 6-3.

Yeah, I thought it was a given that the Gophers would likely have to take three of four from Michigan.

Maybe I'm being too picky, too sensitive, or too politically correct, but I don't think this was the best possible wording from the announcer, especially given that the game was being played in Minneapolis at this time. He said: "Three runs in the 4th, three runs in the 5th, three runs in the...

Never a doubt!

As someone who knows next to nothing about volleyball, watching Samedy makes me feel she could have picked whatever sport she wanted and become an All-American. What a tremendous athlete!

Here's a really nice article about Katie Kemmetmueller. https://d1softball.com/nurse-katie-always-on-call-for-minnesota/

Michella Chester picks her final four -- Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Kentucky, with the Badgers beating the Gophers for the title. (I have no idea how good her picks have been.) https://www.ncaa.com/video/volleyball-women/2021-04-10/2020-21-ncaa-volleyball-bracket-predicted

a Michigan has also rescheduled two of its postponed games with Michigan State, one home and one away.

Here's a strange -- maybe not so strange -- tidbit. In the April 4, 2021, RPI rankings, all 13 SEC teams are ranked higher than the highest ranked Big Ten team (Michigan at #46, with Northwestern at #59 and the Gophers at #68). The SEC teams did get in a non-conference schedule, unlike the Big...

Of course, this year the RPI doesn't have the benefit of non-conference play, but still....

For all of you Stags' fans, Fairfield, #1 last week in the RPI, has unfortunately plummeted down to #18 this week. Sacred Heart (#2 last week) also fell, but only down to #12. The new #1 is Texas, with Army West Point #2, and Towson #3. The Gophs have moved up to #7, but Wisconsin still lags at...

In the first three sets, the Gophs have made 1, 2, and 2 attack errors. With numbers like that, it's amazing it wasn't a sweep.

After going 0 for her first 17, she's now gone 8 for her next 17, with power. I think she's found her groove. And the Gophers have pummeled Sickels, who, going into this game, was the Big Ten's leader in ERA at 0.19.

I noticed there are some RPI rankings, dated March 21, 2021. As expected, Fairfield is #1 and Sacred Heart is #2. Gophers aren't doing too bad at #16, but Wisconsin is #39 and Nebraska is #62. I hope they all make the NCAA tournament...

Ohio State split with Nebraska at Nebraska. Both matches went five sets. The Big Ten seems to have another elite team. I was looking at the stats for the second match, and three Ohio State players had zero errors on 4 kills in 13 attempts (by the setter), 9 in 14, and 10 in 24. Pretty impressive!

Are people surprised at Penn State's 5-5 conference record so far, with none of the losses coming at the hands of Nebraska or Wisconsin? Is the Big Ten that deep, is this an off year for Penn State, or is this maybe related to COVID-year issues? Any thoughts?

Ironically, this topic's title was stated in the negative.

One can call what happened in the Haskins era as "truly horrific," call the payment of players and the use of strippers "truly horrific," and not believe they are the same thing or necessarily at the same level of wrongdoing. To not have a different term for every level or type of offense does...

What? Your reasoning, your logic, in this post is so bad that had you been writing those papers for Clem's basketball players, they never would have passed their courses.
