I was not the only one annoyed by the “color guy” on the volleyball broadcasts. Reader J.D. wrote to say that he turned the sound off.
And reader C.B. wrote in to comment on “late bloomers.” Apparently, Bowe Becker, a former Gopher swimmer who just won a Gold Medal in the Men’s 400 meter freestyle relay was a “teammate” of C.B.’s granddaughter when he swam for the Gophs. (It’s not a co-ed team, but they have joint workouts.) And granddaughter shares that Becker came in as a walk-on, got suspended once for a “bad attitude,” and didn’t get a scholarship until he was a senior.
