I've probably said enough about Minnesota... you're all no doubt sick of it. The papers here are absolutely filled with it. Just a sample:

Strib columnist Pat Reusse: Linday's game was the second-greatest ever for a Gopher, men or women.

Octogenarian Strib columnist (and notorious women's sports hater) Sid Hartman: "I have watched a lot of Gophers basketball games over the years and I've never heard a crowd scream and yell like they did Sunday.... You had to be there to believe it... [N]ever has one basketball player captivated an audience at Williams Arena like Whalen. Replacing her will be impossible."

McCarville on the tense moment with Blue: "We shook hands and gave a hug after the game. No big deal. Happens all the time."
