The Oregon State Beavers continue their march to Omaha this weekend hosting the Minnesota Golden Gophers for a best of three series. The winner officially gets their ticket to the College World Series punched and a new banner in the outfield.
Minnesota reaching this stage of the tournament is something that hasn’t happened in several decades, so Gopher fans are obviously pretty excited. To help us get a sense of what folks in the land of 10,000 lakes are thinking about their team and this weekend’s series, we chatted with a fellow college baseball blogger with the handle GopherNation from SB Nation’s Minnesota blog The Daily Gopher.
