Two goofs Golden Gopher escape

Two goofs Golden Gopher escape I was not around during 1930 and too young to appreciate football in los'40s, but at the same time, the University of Minnesota, was a factory of the nation's best football teams in college football. The school has always been known for its program, the first football of the Thirties. The joke is on the Bronko Nagurski Doc Williamson, the coach, had traveled the state looking for football players for your team. When he found a likely candidate to work in the field with the plow in his hand, he had instructions to call a nearby town. If only the candidate said, and I thank him for the drive. But if you use the plow to point, Williamson and signed him up. Nagurski plow.Though Williamson pointed out the good teams, it was not until Beie Bierman noted that in 1932 Minnesota became a word in college football. According to his biography at the College Football Hall of Fame, Bierman was a Minnesota native who graduated from U of M in 1915. Coach high school football for a year, has served in the Marine Corps for two years, moved to Montana State University, where he compiled a record like that. After marriage in 1921 he became a bond seller, but his wife talked him into re-training, because they do not like to stay at home alone while he was assisting in road.After Tulane, Bierman became coach Mississippi A & M (now State of Mississippi) in 1925 and had a 8-8-1 record in two seasons there. At Tulane from 1927 through 1931, Bierman won 36 games, lost 10 and tied 3. His 1931 team won all 11 matches and 21 to 12 after losing to Southe Califoia in the Rose Bowl. He took over as coach at the University of Minnesota in 1932.Bierman 6 undefeated teams in ten years in Minnesota and the 1934, 1936, 1940 and 1941 teams won national championships. Perennial champions in Michigan and Ohio State was winless against them, including the Michigan team, including the legendary Tom Harmon. The attack on Pearl Harbor changed many things in America. One of the effects of Minnesota to end the era of a dominant position in the world of football. Bierman retued as coach in 1945 and in 1949 came close to winning the Big Ten championship, but resigned after the 1950 season, winning only one training Game.The location was opened in early 1951. One of the actresses was Bud Wilkinson, who was bo in Minneapolis and played for the University in 1936 the team championship. Another candidate was Wes Fesler, a coach at Ohio State University. The selection committee has chosen Fesler. Bud Wilkinson went to the University of Oklahoma and became the architect of the dynasty, before the equipment has been good so far. Fesler retired in 1953, better known in the U of M as the man who has coached Giel.Hindsight Paul 20/20, but this ardent Gopher fan wonders if things would be different if Minnesota could have taken Wilkinson.Another-ha - for gophers occurred in 1954 when John Wooden used to work as coach of the Minnesota basketball team. Timber at the time was an unknown, but I wonder if you could have worked its magic in Williams Arena. Ah .... and John Anderson is an ardent University of Minnesota sports fans. A 1966 graduate of the University, attended by teachers of history and has had multiple careers. The most recent is the author. In October 2005, Cellini's masterpiece was published by iUniverse under the pseudonym of John Raymond. To read the first chapter of John, or ask a question, please go to him with great pleasure to hear from you.
