I passed up a chance to go to that game (went the day before and didn't think my wife would appreciate it). Watched it on TV live and on tape many times till my tape gave out. It was so awesome listening to Doug and the other guy choke on their mics!
Yeah, Minnesota would love it if we only recruited ND players. What, Minnesota has 20 times the population? Besides that, Winnipeg is much closer to GF than the cities. Why wouldn't UND draw players from there, (and Manitoba and other provinces).
Took the tour twice (once with family, once with my class of 5th graders). The last time was 3 years ago. First time 5 years ago. We were told the same thing both times. Whatever happened, it was awhile ago.
I've lived here 53 of my 60 years and I'm not embarrassed! Just got back from 5 days in Orlando and I was happier than hell to leave all those people behind.
A buddy of mine who lived near the river in GF has a similar story. Back in 1965 the Twins put out a set of black and white pictures (5 x 7's I think they were) of all the players from the 65' team. He had the whole complete set stored in the rafters of his garage. Water was over the roof before he thought of them.
