Regarding the new unies unveiled last week, Reader M.C. writes, “I thought they looked really cool!”
Reader G.U. notes that Gopher V-Ball is definitely the best show in town; none of the local basketball or hockey teams get his attention when McCutcheon’s squad is on T.V.
Apart from the occasional column on the subject by Patrick Ruesse (a very good writer), the Star Tribune’s coverage of Gopher V-Ball is mostly by Rachel Blount, including a Saturday morning article about last night’s victory in Lincoln. I don’t get the sense that Blount has a deep history with volleyball, but she does have access to Coach McCutcheon; who seems, based on this morning’s quotes, almost as amazed by this team’s ability to win the close ones as we are.
