Old Gophers Recruiting Video

Donate To GopherHole

For me, this is the most detailed color footage I have ever seen of the old Memorial Stadium, and of the Gophers before I began watching them on TV in the later '80s

But the old weight room with the paneling (around the 4:30 mark) is the star of the show

It looks like a couple of small low rent apartment building gyms I've worked out in
 

I always get a kick out of videos like this. Takes me back to being a kid when the Metrodome was featured as the big savior of Gopher Football. It is also interesting how the fans really didn't wear "team gear" to games in big numbers until as recently as 25 years ago.

🤣 Thankfully, things have evolved.
 




What a time capsule! Being too young to experience Memorial Stadium, it's striking how much it looks/feels like the Bank. Loved seeing those vintage shots of the Lakes and downtown too. The pace and content of the video feels almost foreign to what we'd see in today's world. Simpler times.
 

The ‘79 Wisconsin game: an unseasonably warm late November day (there was a snowstorm the next night) in which the UW QB (Kalismicki sp?) ran wild—and the Badgers could not stop Marion Barber & Garry White. UW 42-UM 37.
