That game was the final straw for Earle Bruce who couldn't beat Michigan or illinois and was now losing to Iowa. He was relieved of his duties the following Monday, but was allowed to coach the Michigan game. Guess what? The beat Michigan and a roar went through Kinnick when the score was announced during the Minnesota game.And Bo Pelini was on the field for this play. He's one of the guys Marv Cook is dragging into the end zone.
#61 is Mike Reilly, who did analysis on radio with Ron Gonder for many years and who's son Jim played at Iowa in the late eighties. Jim, I believe ended up marrying a field hockey player name Erica Richards who I had several classes with in college and knew a little bit. Nice Jersey girl.1963 Minnesota game
Looks like he 'mustered one up'
That might get overturned today. His knee was very close to going down before he he broke the plane. At the time I didn't care. We won in the big shoe!And Bo Pelini was on the field for this play. He's one of the guys Marv Cook is dragging into the end zone.
The famous Joe Salem game where the embattled Minnesota coach may have gotten fired before or during the game and may have gone incognito in the middle of it. Minnesota definite looked rudderless that day. Note the 61-10 score. Ronnie Harmon got his first significant time at tailback that day after two years of flanker, a sign of things to come. #55 is Joe Levellis and #78 is future Kansas City Chief John Alt.
Probably celebrating another TD up in L'Ames! Kirk was secretly hoping for stretch play to the short side. Robert Smith wouldn't have gotten within ten miles of the field under Kirk. But Fry and Snyder sure knew how to use him.
#41 was Bobby Stoops. MSU had the old fashioned H shaped goalposts installed for their final game of the season so the students would damage the regular ones. Sure enough, a player knocked one over. Three years later, Scott Helverson collided with an H shaped goalpost at Wisconsin and it dislodged what would have been a TD reception.
Sure enough, Snake Bowlsby was slithering in the shadows. But he did make a good hire. His basketball hire, not so much, except for Big Ten Conference tournaments.On their way to the press conference to introduce Kirk as Hayden's replacement:
Those old unis look like Waverly Shellrock's
Hahah nah I considered it, he's a pretty nice guy but I doubt he's terribly proud of Vodka Sam's infamy.
