In the 1977 shutout of Michigan, the nose tackle Steve Midboe played the game of his life penetrating into the Michigan backfield play after play. Our excellent trio of linebackers Stewart/Hunt/Merrill swarmed to the ball at every opportunity. Coach Nash summoned the spirit of all the Gopher...

Arise Mighty Minnesota—a great challenge awaits!

The Schaeffer/Filer/Gilcud/McCutcheon 73-74 squad struggled to score (but could win games playing tough Musselman match-up zone) but this year’s team takes offensive futility to a new level. It’s beyond me why it’s so hard to enter the ball at high post or low post to Garcia or low post to...

Long live Mouse McFadden!

‘99 season was painfully close to being an extraordinary season: one score home losses to Purdue; Ohio State & Wisconsin. In the Badger game, Tyrone Carter is dinged up and misses a series and they drive the field for a touchdown. In overtime, we’re called for holding on a running play and we...

“Rock bottom” could have described the 1986 home Minnesota vs OSU game. The Madison sex incident had occurred a few days earlier. Jim Dutcher had resigned. The University forfeited the game at Northwestern. Amazingly, the attendance was around 14,000. The crowd was energized from the...

BSU won tonight’s game by playing much better in the third period of Thursday’s game than in the first two periods. The Beavers played more confidently from the start in the second game and they capitalized on Gopher mistakes. Then it became a typical Omaha/Mankato/now BSU game when we fall...

It is written—somewhere—that for every point scored over 50 in the 1983 game, Nebraska win have consecutive years of excruciating losses.

Trying to figure out who thought it was a good idea to bus to Bemidji for one game following a tough trip to Madison the week before. If we’re keen on playing non-conference road games how about Denver? BC? BU?

I’m watching Nebraska-USC without sound. It looked like the Huskers sent out the punting team on 4th & 3. Called timeout and sent out the offense. And then took a delay of game penalty. Is that what happened?

Cobb tying the game in the second quarter with the 40 yard or so TD run on third and long. It silenced the large number of OSU fans in section 243–a great but brief moment. Then played another hugely physical game at Nebraska the next week & shut-up 78,000 Nebraska fans with the fumble...

May he rest in peace: always a gentle & kind person—a great contributor to the Minnesota basketball scene.

This is my 54th year of Gopher basketball. Through all the ups and downs the Barn generally rocked from Musselman to Clem. Then came the Ganglehoff scandal and the last generation has generally alternated between misery and mediocrity with a few high points. Nevertheless, us semi-old timers...

I was hoping they would play the second half at Cooke Hall so we could enjoy the complete 1920s basketball experience.

Given the nature of one-and-ours and the puck-luck nature of hockey, chances are BC & DU likely have a combined 50% chance of winning the national time. That leaves plenty of opportunity. The problem is Minnesota had a lot of company competing in the other half space. Nevertheless, if out...

Amazing! Should be great fun & a wonderful way to irritate Iowa—maybe Verne Gagne is next, at least spiritually.

So far it’s been 90 minutes of screwing the Minnesota football teams on secondary calls this weekend.

Good to hear—here’s to hoping.

Looks like we’ll play our three toughest non-conference opponents without Mitchell; Mitchell and Cochran—steepens the challenge for Coach Ben if he needs to make the Tourney to keep his job.
