A new feature I thought I'd lob out there. Below is a look at what is going on in Gopher athletics this week. I've included all sports, not just the ones we typically cover. Some may find it interesting to keep cursory tabs on the minor sports at the U. The week starts very slow but picks up with Gopher hoops at MSU on Wed, a big weekend series with UND on Fri/Sat and then men's basketball at Indiana on Sunday after the Vikings game. Maybe next week I'll start this with a brief recap of what happened last week.
