I feel a lot of potential but LF, RF, 2b, 1b have to be filled with outstanding bats & defense. I have hopes for Schwartz, but the rest of the pitching is iffy in my mind, no proven diminant starter.

Too low, too slow. As a non-expert VB observer, I'd say Texas was playing way above the net compared to the Gophers. And the Gophers' offensive attacks were way too slow developing. Texas moved the ball toward the net much faster.

Talking about Gophers softball felt kinda like a bridge too far until I saw the fall ball schedule yesterday. Gosh, September is next month!!! Personally I'm tired of our teams of the past 4 yr being 2nd or 3rd place runnerups. It's tiresome rationalizing that just good enough is good enough...

It seems simple, to the point of being simplistic maybe, that if you win (no mattter who or where you are) a lot superb players will come play for you. A few coaches have that magic touch, most don't. Financial backing is, of course, a big part of the magic touch. Choose the right coaches and...

I'd guess a good decision if she gets playing time. I don't know how much fun it is to sit on the bench a whole year, even at OU, if she never plays.

Right, but more like the 50s. He was 22-3 in the horrible 1951 season for the Dodgers.

I've always thought L. leaving MN was a mistake. If she'd stayed, she'd be enshrined in the annals forever.

Hi, Rugger! It's Hrothgar that was, now PreacherRoe. Last spring I sent a friendly note to GopherHole saying my email address was changing & I wanted to make it easier for them to stay in contact with me. Because of a misunderstanding, my GopherHole acct. was canceled instead of being updated...

Hi again. I'm PreacherRoe, new in name only; I used to be Hrothgar. What I think/hope we're seeing is Piper and staff building a roster with real depth. In recent years, including 2023, there's been a core of productive hitters but too many nearly sure outs in the bottom half of the order...

Hello! I'm back. PreacherRoe used to be called Hrothgar. In his day Preach had a wicked spitball, but I never mastered it.

Let's do this Gopher fans! Ski-U-Mah!
