[NU Sports] Softball team in Big Ten finals -- on TV Saturday

[mlinhardt at netzero.net]

We have fielded a lot of poor teams in the history of Northwestern.  

Why does baseball particularly irritate you?

It is a non-revenue sport and college baseball is mostly populated by 
the leavings of single, double, and triple-A.  We even have had very 
visible and successful players including Loretta and Girardi so we 
have something to hang our hat on.

Personally it is only basketball and football I get excited about in 
regards to winning and losing.  For non-revenue sports I follow the 
winners and generally ignore those that underperform.  I am always 
looking to read any positive stories about Northwestern and/or its 
athletics.



On another note:
We ran a 5K at Northwestern a couple of weeks ago and talking the 
winner he is a freshman at NU on the triathlon team.  Given that is my 
sport I was intrigued.  They are a club sport which I believe is in 
its first year of existence.

They placed 35th out of 46 teams at the collegiate national 
championships in late April, which is quite good.  For those of you 
who know the sport it is very tough to train over the winter so 
performing well at early season events is almost impossible.

performance of the baseball team with no apparent changes planned for 
the program?
