Are we in for a third straight pitchers' dual today?  After the first two games, I wouldn't be at all surprised.  No significant lineup changes today, just a little mind game being played by Purdue's coaches.  They have yesterday's starting pitcher Matt Jansen in the DH spot to keep Minnesota in…

Both teams will surely be trying to put last night's game behind them, albeit for different reasons.  The Gophers, fresh off a dramatic 9th inning comeback, will try not to get ahead of themselves and lock down a series win this afternoon.  Conversely, the Boilermakers need to bounce back from…

The Gophers and Boilermakers are wrapping up their warmups before the always-important series opener in another weekend of Big Ten baseball.  At the risk of losing traffic on this blog, I should mention that tonight's game is on the Big Ten Network.  I certainly suggest seizing the rare opportunity to…

The Minnesota men’s gymnastics team’s season came to an end Thursday night at the Sports Pavilion when Ohio State beat out the Gophers for the third and final spot in Friday’s championship session. Minnesota entered its final event – the parallel bars – 1.35 points behind the…

As my roommate so eloquently put it this afternoon, "God has finally remembered there's a North."  It's a beautiful Minnesota spring day (Minnesota spring day...oxymoron?) and here we are at Siebert Field for the Gophers' first outdoor home game of the season against Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Minnesota starting pitcher - Allen Bechstein, 0-0,…

 Travis Busch has decided to end his time with the Minnesota men's basketball team after having his scholarship pulled, according to the Pioneer Press.

It's a clean slate for the Gophers and Buckeyes today.  They've split the first two games this weekend, so the series hinges on this afternoon.  Yesterday's low scoring affair was a bit unexpected; we'll see if the bats wake up today.  With a lefty on the mound, Eric Decker slides…

You’d be hard pressed to find someone who dislikes having college hockey players leave school early for the pros more than Minnesota’s Don Lucia.   But one of this year’s early departures has to have Lucia feeling a little better.     Denver’s Tyler Bozak joined the list of leavers yesterday when the sophomore forward…

Gophers centerfielder Dannie Skrove was carted off in a stretcher after a collision in the outfield on Saturday.   With two outs in the top of the fourth inning, Ohio State junior Leah Ledford hit a deep fly to right-center, and Skrove and right-fielder Aubrey Davis ran full speed towards the ball.   The…

The Gophers took last night's series opener from the Buckeyes 7-5 and they'll try to clinch the series with a win this afternoon, but Ohio State will surely come out with some fire today.  Doesn't look like there are any changes to Minnesota's lineup, so here it is without further…

With a winter weather storm expected to hit the Twin Cities tonight, Sunday's softball game featuring Minnesota and Ohio State has been rescheduled to be played after Saturday's 1p.m. contest. …

Ought to be a fun one this weekend.  On paper, the matchup looks to be Ohio State's bats versus Minnesota's arms and gloves, but this is baseball.  Big Ten baseball.  Anything can happen.  The Gophers and Buckeyes have developed a healthy and evenly matched rivalry over the years as both…
