John "Loser" Anderson and his Golden Gophers are in town this weekend so let's revisit his moronic suggestion that the Big Ten should quit participating in the NCAA tournament because it's just too hard to compete.
I hope Loser is paying attention to how the increased commitment to baseball by many league schools has resulted in dramatically improved results on the field, especially this season. Ironically, Minnesota has in part been one of those schools. It built a new facility--Siebert Field--just three years ago. Unfortunately for UM, it has not upgraded coaches, opting to stick with Loser. He's still throwing up his hands and scheduling Division III opponents. Four of them this season. Four! Surprisingly, no NAIA teams in 2015.
Personally, I hope they keep Loser around for years to come. Nebraska is 9-1 against him in Big Ten play and it's clear that trend should continue as long as he's in the dugout.
This weekend? Minnesota has a few good wins but has mostly been bad. A sweep is really in order but two wins will be acceptable. Losing the series would be an abject failure. I don't expect to see that, though.
