    Volleyball takes down No. 4 Texas in three

    I saw the match. I'm not sure how good Texas is this year, but the Gophers played as well as they did last year when they were ranked higher. Texas could not stop Harms. If the Gophers keep improving, they'll give Penn State and Nebraska a real challenge.

    Hugh's session with the Minnesota Media

    Sorry, I meant "couldn't". I hope that the two assistant coaches they have hired will be able to help Bush recruit. I am concerned about next year's class. The key is will Hugh's name sell recruits, so they commit even though he can't talk to them.

    Hugh's session with the Minnesota Media

    I didn't realize he could talk to recruits. Hope we are able to get a good class this year. We need a very good outside hitter.

    rumors from Volleytalk say Hugh McCutcheon has quit the National Team

    I have mixed feelings on this. I would have preferred to have him coaching and recruiting this year, but coaching the Olynpic team will keep his profile high and help with recruiting in the long run. This year's recruiting is key. With Love gone and Cowles graduating next year, we need a super...

    rumors from Volleytalk say Hugh McCutcheon has quit the National Team

    I would like to see him be able to recruit a good class this coming year. We will need a very good OH to replace Cowles with Love leaving this year. This year's freshman class and the incoming freshmen will keep the Gophers an elite program if another good class can be recruited.

    The U. has issued a press release and Hugh McCutcheon is the new coach. Laura Bush (an assistant to Hebert) will be interim coach until Hugh can leave his national team duties.

    I heard they are "casting a wide net". The job is a premium one with the new coach inheriting a top 10 team with a good recruiting class.

    NCAA Volleyball Tournament

    Wittman Frink, I have seen almost every home game. Wittman started really well, but has had problems with shin splints and hasn't been able to practice with the team. She seems to be a streak player, who gets really hot and can't be stopped. I think she will be even better next year when her...

    NCAA Volleyball Tournament

    I was at the Pav last night. Thought the Bison really played well in the first two sets. The Gophers returned to their recent form to take the sweep in set 3. Ashley Wittman had trouble early and then caught fire in Set 3. Hebert has built a very good program.

    Volleball Upset

    The Gophers upset a top ten team when they beat Iilinois on the road 3 sets to 2. They broke the 22 match home winning streak of Illinois. They were down 24-21 in the fourth set and scored five straight points to win 26-24. It was an amazing come back.
