Interesting discussion about Nebraska, but Minnesota is what interests me since I live here. I can't see any hope for the Gophers program without an infusion of money, more super-aggressive recruiting, more in-game creativity (only 3 SB so far in 2025!!!?!), and pitching that dominates...

When coaches leave a very successful program and players leave what's been a very successful program or the gifted ones who stay show little or no improvement, wouldn't it seem likely the root of the problem lies within higher echelons of the Athletic Dept? It's possible to win pretty darn big...

Seems that errors cost the gophers yet another game? Even Chavez's usual brilliance has failed her a bit. I would add a charisma quotient of zero, but everyone here is surely already aware of what you say. The message should go more aptly to the AD, who most likely knows but doesn't care.

Here I am in the familiar 2025 quandary, i. e., whether to drive 140 mi round-trip to see Gophers softball or do some work at home. Can't bear another blowout loss.

Those who in 2024 predicted outcomes for 2025 predicted this result.

Just me babbling maybe, but it was interesting to observe Gophers women's basketball. They started the season again without their star player (Braun), suffered some tough losses, but finished stronger than they began. Gophers softball is going the opposite direction. How to explain the...

Hard to know where they go from here. Clean house and try to start over?

For the first time in 11 years I'm missing a Gophers' softball home game today. Partly because of illness in the family, partly because I might not have gone anyway. Tired of seeing the program embarrass itself.

Limited to non-existent media coverage.

What I'd most like to hear from some folks in the know is how or why the Gophers softball has been allowed to fall to such a low level in both on-field performance and coaching is so short a time? What's going on?

I I get that sinking feeling these days watching most all Gophers sports, men and women. I thought of buying a subscription to Big+ for today's game, but after one inning I knew why I hadn't. This is a Nebraska the Gophers beat 16 times in a row not long ago. Now they can't even get a runner...

A neutral-site game in Tornado Alley during March between two unranked Northern teams? Not a marquee matchup...

I for one can't figure the Gophers' coaches' handling of pitchers. Why in the world did they not start Schwartz in game 2 v. MSU? She only pitched 3 innings in game 1 and surely was rested. If she had pitched even 4 or 5 innings in game 2, it would surely also have been a win. Using...

I'm puzzled by Chavez's lack of hitting. Does she have an injury?

For the past few years Gophers infield has been pretty darned good, even outstanding. With more good pitching they would have won the BigTen a couple times. This year shows the drop off, esp with the SS gone.

Amazing performances lately by Schwartz.

After I followed every Gophers game on stats this season, I was eager to see the them live today. So I drove 150 miles for a twin bill. With Gophers v. Tommies, what I saw looked like a mid-major team, not DI. The defensive mistakes, weak hitting, and poor coaching decisions were an...

Snippes looks like a fine all-around athlete. Would she be better playing in the field and hitting than pitching? It was surprising that Schwartz let Miami back in the game today, but she pitched well. It's hard not to feel for the Miami pitcher. I suspect she gave it more than 100%.

Do our softball season tickets only cover Sunday's game? If so, I think that's cheap move by the U.

In the 1940s & 50s Mutual Radio Network sent a game-of-the-day each day so you could hear the teletype or ticker machine sending the "action" by machine. If it said "fly to CF," the studio announcer had to invent the excitement on the run. Was the "fly" a weak popup or a 400-ft drive?
