Honestly, until I started reviewing the thread I thought he had played for the Gophers at some point. The rosters in the Ben Johnson era are one big mash-up…

Hopefully not Gary Cuozzo; Bobby Lee & Norm Snead…

Issues with officiating are about 50th on the list of problem areas for the program. That said, I’m pleased Reusse ridiculed the technical foul given Frank Mitchell. It was a classic case of an official injecting himself into the game when a simple warning would have sufficed. That’s not even...

Canceling their entire 2025 season may make sense for this reason.

Randomly remembering the ‘77 football game at Memorial Stadium with Warren Moon quarterbacking the Huskies and Paul Rogind kicking four field goals for a 19-17 win. The Huskies, led by Robin Earl, easily won the ‘76 game in Seattle. (Of course these facts have no relationship to a basketball...

Forget Izzo 2.0: the whining UPer. They’ll get all the calls at Breslin. Play hard & physical & don’t worry about fouls. It’s a puncher’s chance game. Gave MSU too many open three point looks at the Barn.

All things considered—the per capita fan enthusiasm for the Big Ten games has been robust.

Bernie Bierman or Pappy Waldorf?

Football win in Madison & basketball win in Iowa City in the same academic year…

I can live with the no-calls when the Gophers are cycling in the offensive zone but the no-call on the Chesley mugging is just handing the game to Notre Dame—disgraceful.

Willie & Shik were in the house/Barn & they brought the Clem spirit…

Maybe we’ll get an “oral victory”—not sure what it is but it sounds funny…

Lake Superior near Two Harbors in February…

And now for this pleasant thought: imagine the extended misery of Badger fans between the football game and the first half tonight.

Neither did Musselman or Dutcher—if memory serves the only home game lost to the Badgers from 1970 to 1999 was in 1986 with interim coach Jimmy Williams. Clem’s first Big Ten game was a Saturday afternoon game against the Badgers which the late Kim Zurcher won with a layup at the buzzer. There...

Randomly remembering the ‘94 game at the old Wisconsin Field House when Lenard/Carter/Orr/Grim/Kolander/Ziggy put up near 100 points for a season sweep of the Badgers. At the home game the students were chanting: “just like football; just like hockey…”

As we share memories I had something of a close-up look to the 1971-1972 season. My parents went with the team to the Aloha Classic in Honolulu. The flight left on Christmas Day. (The Vikings played the Cowboys in the playoffs on the same day—first NFL Christmas Day game.). My grandparents...

Fabulous—thank you for sharing!

We went and enjoyed ourselves: great museums; delicious southern comfort food; friendly people and a respectable turnout of Minnesota fans. There way almost no imprint of the game on Charlotte: no signage at the airport: no banners hanging from streetlights; the Uber drivers had no knowledge of...

The Iowa game was painful. We were 3-0 in the Big Ten playing a lousy Iowa team before a 50,000 plus crowd. We led 12-0 at half time although the lead should have been larger. I no longer remember the circumstances but we collapsed in the second half & lost.
