Joe Nathan, ergh. Well, at least the Twins have pitching depth. Rauch had 17 saves in 2008. If he can do a passable job, the Twins have enough batting and defense to win the division, especially if Liriano pitches as well as advertised.

Only 21 days until Sean Henderson has to figure out where he is going to spend the next four years with his son.

Isn't it curious that they've gone completely silent for the past 15 days? It's now been almost three weeks since the NCAA hearing with USC. At that point, they had to have been informed that a decision won't be coming down for 6 to 8 weeks, which is outside the April 1 deadline for signing national letters of intent.

It seems there is something causing the young Henderson to not sign a LOI. Academics?

(1) Gopher freshman goalie Noora Raty is one of three finalists for the Patty Kazmaier award, given to the nation's best women's college hockey player. And, she's a freshman.

(2) If you're a Gopher football season ticket holder, you probably got your renewal form this week. Just consider this: USC, Ohio State, Penn State, and Iowa. What an appetizing schedule. And, Minnesota's going to win one of these games. As of now, I'm leaning towards the Penn State game being a surprise victory.

(3) The Spring Football game is April 24th at 1:30pm. If you don't have the aforementioned season tix, this is a great opportunity to get into the stadium and enjoy a "game."

(4) The Gopher baseball team is hosting St. Thomas tonight at Metrodump. 6:30pm start.

I don't see anything about that

if someone has a link we’ll post it ASAP, but I don’t see anything on ESPN, Black Shoe Diaries, Philadelphia Inquirer or Star Trib. I would assume one of those would have something up if he were out, he’s kind of a big deal.

what you say here can, and will, be used against you

He's fine

He had to sit out the last five minutes of the Purdue game last weekend while he was in the locker room puking his guts out with the stomach flu. He’s good to go.

SH Sighting

He’s large, wow. He was at the St. Louis Park LA Fitness playing basketball for 90 minutes or so last night. Raining threes, looking rather nimble on the court. He did come with Mom, perhaps.

That’s all I got from that.

I’m excited and scared to have yet another shot of hope from the Gopher Hoops team. If they can survive (no Battle?) PSU and face a depleted MSU team… oh dear.

When are the first games of the BT Tourney?

"If we got to we're going to crawl in this locker room. And on our back is going to be an axe..."

Also, I would be ecstatic if Noora somehow won it. That would be an absolute amazing accomplishment, considering she’s just a freshman. However it is for that very reason she probably won’t this year, but it will be exciting to have her between the pipes for a few years.

Re: Taylor Battle. At the link below, Myron says “Taylor Battle is not 100%”—-since I thought I might put a couple of bucks on the game with a PSU alum, I was looking for some inside information. Got anything??? Click on the “video link—-B10 tournament” Thanks in advance if you dig something up.
