I don’t see a touch there.

Those beads the Utah State assistant is wearing are crazy for obvious reasons just a wild fashion choice

Haha, you may have missed some of the colorful commentary on them earlier in the thread : )

[redcard🏐]

Thank God for Grote!

[pavsec5row10]

Way to right the ship Gophers!

[letsbeclear]

Great comeback, Gophers!

[hipsterfilth]

ummmm... MINNESOTA with the COMEBACK? CAN THEY AFFORD THAT? IN THIS ECONOMY? WHO ARE THEY?

[VT Karen]

Shelby blocked and the Gophers sweep the Aggies!

The Gophers overcame so spotty play in set 3 to advance. Grote was that girl today!

Congrats and Utah State and especially Shelby Capllonch. I'm so proud of the player and woman you have become. Congrats on a stellar career.

[volleyfan24]

Nice fight by Minnesota to steal the set, Cappion too undersized.

[maigrey]

What a block!

[vbcoltrane]

Thank God. Nice improvement, Utah State! Kudos, Gophs - generally great except that dip starting mid third set.
