What it looks like when your favorite team gets three-quarters of the front page of the local newspaper's sports section

The attention is well deserved and it truly is about time.

The answer to the question posed in the headline is, of course, that it is too early to tell for sure. They have to play the rest of the games before any answer is possible. As some who know me will know it is my position that if you want to go undefeated you have to win ALL of your games.
Here's a link to the actual story from the newspaper's website. There is a nice video included on the website.

For good measure, here is a link to the team's captains appearance on local TV this morning. The video in the background while Bethany and Megan are talking includes highlights from last year's national championship game including the game (and championship) winning goal on a penalty shot by Emily West preceded by just a glimpse of the final and clinching goal by Sarah Erickson.

And a link to a recent article on Minnesota Public Radio.

Anyone who hasn't seen them play yet, shame on you.

The game tonight is against UMD at 6:07, probably too late for that (although you can catch it streamed live on the interweb). No one has an excuse for missing tomorrow's game at 2:30. At the very least you can catch it on cable on the BigTen Network.

Best ever?

Wouldn't that be fun?

I love this post (which took me over a half hour to "read" because of the videos). I especially enjoyed the morning interview with the captains. Actually, I enjoyed being at the game tonight even more! A 5-0 shutout is impresseive. Duluth is good but the Gopher women are GREAT. Best ever?
