At the end of the fourth game, at 25-all I believe, the O server ripped off a monstrous hard serve, but the point went to MN. Stats said only Service Error by O. What was the call? Was it a foot fault?

The black t-shirts I saw said: Stop Racism.

The Gophers have tons of nationally recruited talent, ample support from those who vote on nat'l rankings, and a strong fan base. IMO it seems time for the program to peak by season's end. By December they need to beat the very best, not just play them tough.

We were following MN-TX by stats. At 13-15 in set 2 the transmssionn froze and never came back. Anyone else have that problem?

Studying Hutchins on the sidelines, in the dugout, and after games this past season, it seemed she was heading toward retirement. That's an intuitive response by me, but her players may have transferred out knowing she was leaving. Two or three years ago, she was quoted in June, "It's been a...

Good point, but never going to happen, is it?, until the northern conferences step up and make their voices/demands heard.

For those who know VB (which doesn't include me), what are the Gophers' chances of winning the BIG and making a deep run in the NCAA this year? Any opinions?

Don't the Gophers also have a transfer pitcher from Florida State?

Thanks for the info.

A pitcher called Bri, who is apparently transferring to the Gophers. She's mentioned in some posts.

It would be interesting to know who she is. Does she have a name?

I think it's multiple causality. There are likely several problematic elements that haven't been addressed by the right person(s). Repeating what I've said before: The 2022 Gophers would've won the BIG championship with a strong pitching staff, but they haven't attracted a strong power pitcher...

And why does the NCAA, the governing body so-called, choose to keep it as it is? Oh, there wouldn't be a substantial financial lobby somewhere, would there?

Plus essentially a home field advantage for the whole NCAA playoffs.

The baseball game itself has become secondary to the commercializing.

Yes, or assume that they're immune to undue pressure from the SEC.

Yep!

Williams was behind in the count a lot in games 1 & 2 & had to come in over the plate. Hitters could pick their pitch. That rattled her, I think. MN hitters abandoned their approach & lost patience & let her control the B/S count in game 3. At least that's what I recall. Of course, pitching to...

It's always astounded me that other teams didn't make the same adjustment against her as Oklahoma.

Not surprising, that either. NW had the weakest of all the regionals & it was surprising ASU didn't run-rule them before this.
