One of my uncles is a U of M School of Dentistry alum. Several times I heard him tell the story of playing a pick-up volleyball game at one of the campus gyms. Aaron Brown and some football players were there and joined in. Uncle Chuck said that Aaron was a very nice guy and "took it easy" on the soon to be dentists.

Spaeth was so good. Also, I totally forgot we wore throwbacks in that era.

Probably because you tried to forget that game. Is was an ugly 10-9 win over NDSU that didn't feel good. I also thought those jerseys looked like high school JV team jerseys. I hated them lol. The throwbacks now look solid.

Yeah, those jerseys kinda looked like practice jerseys. Terrible.
 

Is that the game where Mike Sherrils (sp) blocked the field goal attempt at the end to save the game on the final play? I'm listening to the game on the radio and Dave Lee's description of what has happened is so unclear that I'm lost. Finally the other Dave steps in and says, "the game is over and the Gophers have won." Man, I am happy that I do not have to listen to Dave Lee anymore.

I've written this before but I bumped into Curt Wilson on the UNLV campus about 20 years ago. We chatted for a minute, but it was clear that the loved Bob Stein and Stein's mom. Wilson said that Stein's mother put in all kinds of effort to make the African-American players feel at home and supported them. I've read stories where Stein described how players quickly figured out that the relationship that they had with Warmath differed from being a recruited athlete to a player on the roster. I think that is, or was, pretty common in those days, maybe still is in some places. Go Gophers!

Thank you for posting. On the way to winning the 1962 state basketball tournament, St. Louis Park played Danube and Bob Bruggers in the semi-finals. Danube was the sentimental favorite of the field and the Williams Arena crowd—the Edgerton of the ‘62 tourney. Bruggers scores 36 points but uncharacteristically misses a number of free throws. The Orioles win a close game. The drama and romance of the one class tournament…
