Loved watching Purdue vs. Illinois back when Keady and Henson would model their amazing hair-dos!

I can still see Walter Bowser putting a big lick on a Trojan at midfield to help Wintermute along the way. Murray was hardly known for creativity, which made this play even more remarkable.

I had the feeling they reprised that tight end lob from late in the Auburn game because Brosmer did not want his last collegiate pass to have been that interception! Mission accomplished.

Yes, they were inept but the stupid schtick they were forced to execute made them look like clowns. I actually felt sorry for them. The guy who threw up was clearly an unwilling shill throughout. I am sure the Duke's people were annoyed at his obvious lack of enthusiasm for their wares. As a...

Much has been made of the inability of our receivers to gain separation. This was especially apparent on deep balls/

Went to a number of games as a child with my dad in the late 50's and through the 60's. We always sat high up. When the astroturf was installed in 1970 and attendance fell off, I was able to go to some games at close to ground level. I was struck by the pronounced crown that ran down the center...

Gophers Put on Mayo Clinic

The villain of the 2001 Purdue game was the clock operator. When they ran that option with Cupito to tie the 2005 Purdue game that allowed them to actually win later, I yelled "NOOOOOO!" until he somehow got into the end zone. Talk about a surprise play call!

Yup. Northwestern in 2000 will not be forgotten nor will a certain game in 2003 of which I cannot speak.

And the irony is that Minnesota beat Iowa in the regular season finale to get to 6-6. If he had lost to Iowa I doubt that he would have fired. But that epic collapse vs TT could not be tolerated.

Wish we had played Purdue THIS year.

I went there also. I had the place to myself and the "curator" seemed lonely and could not have been more helpful. I bought a book called "The Monster of the Midway". My favorite part of the book detailed the Varsity-Alumni Game of May 1958. Bronko showed up to play at age 49 and the Alumni won...

Actually, Billy Wilson (1951-1960) was a far more productive receiver than Gordy. He made 6 straight Pro Bowls for the 49ers and led the NFL in catches 3 times. He only played 12-game seasons but still is in the top ten in franchise history in catches, yards receiving and touchdown catches. Just...

He didn't play in that game as he was hurt. He was a senior and went undrafted. He went on to play in Canada. If somehow he had another year at Minnesota, it is doubtful that he would have played much. Wacker came to Minnesota in 1993 and installed his son-in-law, Tim Schade, at quarterback. He...

When I refer to players, I go with where they grew up/attended high school. Thank you for responding, though.

November 18, 2000- Minnesota 27 Iowa 24 Trailing 24-19 with 6:00 to go, a transfer quarterback from Oregon connects on an 81-yard bomb to a wide-out from Miami. The quarterback had earlier this season guided the Gophers to a stunning win over #6 Ohio State in Columbus. The wide-out would go on...

Tony Gwynn was excellent, even with a few extra pounds, at San Diego State

The back to whom you were referring in the Nebraska game was Rodrick Williams. He was a solid back but got crowded out by others. Regarding the OSU game, the weather is a big part of my memory. The snow made the game feel really old -school. Also, Santoso missed a long field goal that would...

It's like the Lions-Texans game on Sunday. The Lions have so much talent that they were able to overcome Goff's 5 interceptions and beat a good team. Teams like the Gophers with middling talent, however, have to be at their best to be successful against other mediocraties. They were able to ride...
