Excited about the news of Minnesota United FC being named Major League Soccer's latest expansion team? Eager to learn more about the Loons?

Readers (and writers) of a certain age will have no problems identifying the inspiration for this volleyball-centric clip. But for confused younger folks who might be less familiar with the early stages of Tom Cruise's oeuvre, this IMDB page is a good next stop.
No reports of MNUFC fans trying this at home: The subzero tundra isn't quite ready for beach volleyball season just yet.
