You would have hated the Minnesota-Iowa games from about 1986-1989 when there were about 5000 Hawkeye fans a game at the Barn. The second deck sections behind the baskets were almost 100% Iowa fans. Beating them with the Jimmy Williams’ Iron Five in 1986 and the Shik tip-in in 1989 was all the...

Alamodome—site of the two greatest wins in Gopher basketball history…

Welcome—drive safely & looking forward to a great game. Enjoyed wearing my gold hoodie at Camp Randall and seeing the ‘Axe return home and watching the hockey sweep at the Kohl Center.

Thank you for sharing—priceless. My dad is hale & hearty at nearly 94. He attended the 1940 Washington game and the 1941 Pittsburgh game. (He has seen games in about 80 different seasons.) My mom’s folks went to all the home games in 1940 and 1941 and the 1941 game at Ann Arbor which was the...

Memo to Big Ten hockey officials; if it takes five minutes to discern the supposed penalty the evidence is not sufficient to overturn a non-call. Then apply the common sense you’re about to completely change the complexion of the game and you had better not make the call under those flimsy...

Wait until Wednesday when there is a compelling conference need to protect Wisconsin’s seed if you want to see some “fancy” officiating…over/under on the combined fouls of Crowl & Winter?

I credit a number of posters who predicted the nature of this team: the combination of veteran players who generally play decent defense coupled with Dawson’s scoring touch & occasionally one of the guards shooting well wouid win a few Big Ten games. Five conference road wins is the most since...

I admit I’m chronic complainer when it comes to officiating and the Gophers. But seven consecutive fouls?

Game 1 of ‘81 series against the Bruins. Jack Carlson (of all people) ties the game in the last few minutes and Steve Payne scores the OT winner to finally beat Boston in the Garden after 14 years. Game 5 of the ‘84 series against Chicago. I had been in Israel and knew there was a game 5...

Outstanding game for 60 minutes with great plays for both teams—gut check twice rallying to tie the game. Then an OT abomination: lost face offs; discombobulated rushes; ref backcheck helping to torce the last turnover and the soft goal. Four 3 x 3 losses this year for a strong skating team...

Nathan Detroit—“Guys & Dolls”…

Remembering during the height of the Twins’ road struggles in 1987, Mark Davidson taping pictures of the Metrodome on the walls of the Tiger Stadium visiting dugout.

Random ‘Cats memory: I went with a buddy to the last game of the 1999 season at Northwestern—to see Quincy Lewis’ final regular season game which had serious NCAA tourney implications for Minnesota. NU won the first game at Williams Arena behind the strong play of Evan Eschmeyer—the original...

If that’s the case let’s go with Pearl; Scheyer or Golden…

We own them for buying NCAA wrestling championships and the f-ING fake punt—admittedly it was a beautifully executed play. Anybody remember the ‘96 home game with PSU—a Saturday afternoon game—we missed about ten straight free throws, although we we won.

The mosh pitters in Sec 101, Row 3 will be raising hell, as usual.

Different era & much different circumstances—nevertheless the ‘89 team was 6-9 without a road win going into the last three conference games…

Wisconsin game looming large with dramatic story lines—but I’m getting ahead of myself…
