    Recruiting the South

    I lived in Brooklyn Park for 12 years, and I would comment to my wife that we did not see a lot of kids in the parks near our house (north of 610).

    Lou Holtz at Minnesota - 1984-1985

    I went to Holtz's first game against Rice. Gophers jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but Rice rallied and took a 21-14 lead. The Gophers ended up winning 28-21. Good times!

    1982 Golden Gophers

    I went to the game against Michigan State in mid-November. Gophers lost 26-7. When we came out of the Dome, it was snowing. I kept those ticket stubs for probably 25 years.
