Coaching Staff


Brewster, who is in his second year at the helm of the program after being named Minnesota’s 26th head football coachon Jan. 17, 2007, has never been afraid to work hard or think big.

That was proven out this past February, when Brewster and his staff signed a consensus top-25 recruiting class thatsome experts even rated among the nation’s top 15. The significance of this accomplishment would be difficult to overstateat one the nation’s traditional recruiting powers let alone at Minnesota, where the average Rivals ranking for the Gophers’previous six recruiting classes was 54th.

The renewed emphasis on recruiting may be the most visible phase of Brewster’s plan to help Minnesota football makehistory again, but it’s just one building block of a blueprint he developed while helping Mack Brown turn North Carolina fromACC doormat into a national power and rebuild Texas into one of the country’s elite programs.

Brewster came to Minnesota after spending the previous five years as an assistant coach in the National FootballLeague, including the 2005 and 2006 seasons as the tight ends coach of the Denver Broncos.

In addition to his productivity as a college recruiter, Brewster has also built a strong reputation for developing playersduring his 22-year coaching career.

In his first season at Minnesota, Brewster mentored freshman quarterback Adam Weber, who broke nearly all of theGophers’ single-season passing and total offense record during the 2007 season.

Brewster also helped coach safety Dominique Barber to All-Big Ten accolades during his inaugural campaign in the TwinCities and personally worked with punter Justin Kucek, expanding his repertoire with the effective and efficient flop punt andhelping him evolve into one of the conference’s top punters.

On the professional level, Brewster helped rookie Tony Scheffler lead the NFL in average yards per reception by a tightend with a 15.9-yard average. His tight ends also contributed to the Broncos finishing fourth in the AFC in rushing yards pergame (134.5) during 2006.

Brewster's tight ends helped the Broncos post a 13-3 record and capture the AFC West title in 2005 en route to ad-vancing to theAFC Championship Game. Jeb Putzier ranked fourth among NFL tight ends (2nd inAFC) in yards per receptionaverage, posting a 13.0-yard average on 37 receptions for 481 yards. The blocking of Brewster's unit helped the club ranksecond in the NFL in rushing (158.7 ypg.) and place third in the league in fewest sacks allowed (23).

In 2005, Brewster also tutored rookie tight end Wesley Duke, who played basketball only in college and was an undraftedfree agent. Duke caught a 1-yard touchdown pass for his first career catch at Buffalo (12/17/05) and started for the Bron-cos in the AFC Championship Game against the Steelers (1/22/06).

Brewster served as the San Diego Chargers tight ends coach from 2002-04 and held additional responsibilities as theclub's assistant head coach for the 2004 season. He oversaw the rapid development of Antonio Gates, who like Duke,played basketball only in college and was an undrafted free agent.

Under Brewster, Gates would earn first-teamAll-Pro honors in 2004 from the Associated Press and was a Pro Bowl se-lection after playing only his second year of football since high school. He set an NFL single-season touchdown record (13)for tight ends in 2004 while ranking third in receiving yards (964) and fourth in receptions (81) among NFL tight ends.

In 2003, Gates' first NFL season, Brewster helped the young talent rank third for the Chargers with 24 receptions. Whilehis tight ends showed progress as pass catchers, Brewster's unit was adept at blocking in a potent rushing attack thatgained more than 2,100 yards on the ground in each of his three seasons with the team.

Before working for San Diego, Brewster coached collegiately for 14 years at the Division I-A level. Brewster enjoyedtremendous success as tight ends coach at the University of Texas (1998-2001) and as tight ends coach at the Universityof North Carolina (1989-97), where he also coached special teams and was the Tar Heels' recruiting coordinator. He workedon Brown's staffs at both schools and developed six tight ends who signed NFL contracts, including four who were selectedin the NFL Draft.

Coaching Staff


In four years at Texas, Brewster's tight ends playeda key role in the team advancing to a bowl game eachseason (two Cotton Bowls, two Holiday Bowls). He tu-tored two tight ends who earned All-Big 12 Conferencehonors, including 1998 first-team selection Derek Lewis,and coached two players who signed NFL contracts inLewis and Bo Scaife, who was drafted in the sixth roundby Tennessee in 2005.

Brewster's tight ends at Texas blocked for a 1,000-yard rusher in each of his four seasons at the school,highlighted by Ricky Williams' 2,124-yard (sixth-most inNCAAhistory) Heisman Trophy-winning season in 1998.Brewster developed Lewis into a scoring threat as wellin 1998 as the tight end finished the year second on theLonghorns with six touchdown receptions in a seasonthat ended with a Cotton Bowl win.

He honed the skills of a pair of converted Longhornsdefensive ends in 1999 as well as true freshman Scaife,helping the tight ends total 24 receptions for 267 yardswith four touchdowns. Scaife became a 2001 honorablemention All-Big 12 selection under Brewster's tutelageonly one year after missing the entire season with a majorknee injury.

In nine years at North Carolina, Brewster mentoredfour All-Atlantic Coast Conference selections at tight endand helped the school advance to six consecutive bowlgames from 1992-97. As recruiting coordinator, his ef-forts secured the talent that helped the 1997 team go 11-1 and win the Gator Bowl.

Brewster, who served as a volunteer assistant atNorth Carolina for the 1989 season before earning a full-time position in 1990, oversaw the development of fourTar Heels tight ends who signed NFL contracts: AlgeCrumpler (Falcons, 2001-present), Freddie Jones(Chargers, 1997-2001; Cardinals, 2002- 04), Greg De-Long (Vikings, 1995-98; Ravens, 1999; Jaguars, 2000)and Deems May (Chargers, 1992- 96; Seahawks, 1997-99). Crumpler and Jones were second-round choices inthe NFL Draft while May was a seventh-round selection.

Brewster guided Crumpler to second-team All-At-lantic Coast Conference distinction and honorable men-tion All-America accolades from Football News as asophomore in 1997. He also mentored Jones to a first-team All-ACC selection in 1995 and again in 1996 whenJones set a North Carolina single-season record for re-ceptions by a tight end (32) to garner third-teamAll-Amer-ica honors from Football News.

His tight ends at North Carolina were critical to theteam's rushing success as their blocking helped clear theway for five different 1,000-yard seasons, including Na-trone Means' back-to-back 1,000-yard years in 1991 and'92. DeLong, a first-teamAll-ACC tight end in 1994, twiceearned ACC Lineman of the Week honors for his block-ing in 1996 under Brewster's tutelage.

Brewster spent 1987-88 as head coach at CentralCatholic High School in Lafayette, Ind., directing a wide-open offense that won 15 of 23 games during that pe-riod. He developed Indiana's passing leader in both ofhis seasons as head coach.

He began his coaching career in 1986 at PurdueUniversity, where he coached tight ends and offensivetackles as a graduate assistant.

A former two-time All-Big Ten Conference selectionat the University of Illinois, Brewster led the nation's tightends in receiving in 1983 and captained the Illini to the1984 Rose Bowl vs. UCLA. Brewster, who graduatedfrom Illinois with a bachelor's degree in political science,played in the training camps of the New York Giants(1984) and Philadelphia Eagles (1985).

Brewster was born October 13, 1960, in Phillipsburg,N.J. He and his wife, Cathleen, have three sons: Eric,Clint and Nolan.

Brewster’s PhilosophyON WHAT HE LOOKS FOR IN RECRUITING:“The No. 1 thing we’re looking for in our players is toughness.Second, we’re looking for passion, and third we are lookingfor smart guys. The fourth thing we always want to address isthat we’re looking for playmakers. Regardless of position, weneed playmakers on this football team. We want guys who wefeel can do something with the ball and score points.”

ON RECRUITING IN MINNESOTA:“My stated goal when I took this job was that we were goingto recruit the state of Minnesota extremely hard and we arevery passionate with what we do to reach out to the players inthis state. We want them to come play for us at the Universityof Minnesota and be Golden Gophers.

“We’re going to do everything in our power to make sure thatthe top players in this state come to the University of Min-nesota. We want to identify these players early, get on themand stay on them from the beginning. We’re going to makesure that every guy in this state who wants to play here andwho we feel can help us win, they’re going to come here andplay for us.”

ON RECRUITING NATIONALLY:“There are 16 states represented in this year’s class and theexciting thing is the tremendous reception we are seeing andcontinue to see from kids in all regions of the country. Theseplayers are excited about what’s going on here at Minnesota.”

ON PASSION:“What we’re doing is creating a tremendous excitement aboutthe U here in the state of Minnesota. We’re going to work realhard and have a lot of fun and I think that these kids are un-derstanding that’s the way it’s going to be here at the U. Eachand every day, I’m more excited about being the head coachat the U, because it’s such a tremendous sell and I don’t thinkit’s a hard sell at all.”

ON INTENSITY:“My staff is a reflection of me. I want our team to be tough, Iwant our team to be passionate and that is how we coach. Ilove our staff and how they go about their business each andevery day. We are asking our football team to play to a certainlevel each and every day and we as coaches have to do thesame thing. We have to reach that level and push that barevery day. That is the challenge I have issued to the staff. Youcan’t come out one day and be jacked up running down thefield with a guy and the next day not do it. You have to be whoyou are but you have to be consistent with how you bring it.”

ON ACADEMICS:“What are we wanting out of our guys? We want our guys tograduate, first and foremost. We want them to graduate. Wewant them to represent themselves and their family in finefashion every day. We want to win a Big Ten championship.”

ON DEFENSE:“We want to attack the ball and swarm to it. We want to stopthe run and become a physical defense. These are simple con-cepts, but those concepts are what winning defensive foot-ball is all about. We plan to limit explosive plays and createturnovers. Those are the things your defense needs to do tohelp your football team win.”

ON OFFENSE:“We want to force the defense to play a particular scheme andthen attack the weaknesses of that scheme. We believe theSpread Coast offense gives us the abillity to do that throughthe use of our personnel and formations. We’re going to buildon last year and continue to do a lot of great things on of-fense.”

ON SPECIAL TEAMS:“A lot of people give lip service to being a good special teamsunit. At Minnesota , we call it special forces. What we havedone is made the commitment -- time-wise and field-wise --to the fact that guys aren’t going to get a rest when it comesto our special teams. We really want to be good on specialteams. I would like to see us be the best special teams unit inthe country. The big thing is that our best special teams play-ers are going to play on the special forces.”

Stadium History


MEMORIAL STADIUM 1924-1981Opened on Oct. 4, 1924, Memorial Stadium served as the home of the Golden Gophers for 57 years. Thestadium was dedicated to the 3,527 university workers and graduates who served in World War I, 98 ofwhom died in service. Built on approximately 11 acres where the current University Recreation Center,Aquatic Center and McNamara Alumni Center stand today, Memorial Stadium had 52,736 permanentseats but could seat over 56,000. The horseshoe-shaped stadium also served as the home track andfield facility. With the addition of temporary bleacher seating, more than 60,000 fans could fit into Memo-rial Stadium as a stadium-record 66,284 fans watched Minnesota face Purdue on Nov. 18, 1966.

The stadium, which took seven months to construct, cost $572,000 to build. More than 475 workers

were employed for the construction that required more than 1.4 million feet of lumber, one million bricksand 90,000 sacks of cement. Minnesota played its first game in Memorial Stadium on Oct. 4, 1924, de-feating North Dakota 14-0. Tickets for the inaugural game were just one dollar.

The Golden Gophers had a stellar record in Memorial Stadium, including 12 unbeaten seasons athome. They didn’t suffer a losing season at home from the building’s inception in 1924 until 1950, a spanof 26 years.

Memorial Stadium was changed to artificial turf in 1970 but then switched back to natural grass in1977. The stadium was demolished in 1989 and 2,000 of the original bricks were used in the building ofMariucci Arena. University officials debated renovation of Memorial Stadium, but instead opted for a moveto the Metrodome.

GREATER NORTHROP FIELD 1899-1923Named in honor of University President Cyrus Northrop, Greater Northrop Field opened its doors in 1899. Priorto the stadium’s construction, the University of Minnesota played on a field south of theArmory. The grandstandconsisted of chairs around the sidelines. When rates for a downtown stadium increased, the University foundit a necessity for an enclosed stadium on the campus.

Built in front of Pillsbury Hall, which still stands today, the Northrop Field originally featured a nine-foot highboard fence built by the student body. A quarter-mile track ran around the playing field. Alfred Pillsbury organ-ized the building of a massive brick fence that was built around the original grandstand that made NorthropField unlike any other stadium in the country at the time. The grandstand seated 8,000 fans and was 33 rowshigh. Additional seating in the end zones added to the seating capacity.

Minnesota played its first game at Northrop Field in November of 1899 against Northwestern where it suf-fered an 11-5 defeat. The last game was played in 1923 when Minnesota beat Iowa 20-7. Perhaps the mostmemorable game was a 6-6 tie with Michigan when an over capacity 20,000 fans crowded into the stadium.

H.H.H. METRODOME 1982-2008The Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, home of Golden Gopher football since 1982, is the nation’s largestair-supported, multiple-use facility. It has been the site of two World Series, a Super Bowl and two NCAAFinal Fours, and has kept over five million college football fans warm as they watched and cheered Uni-versity of Minnesota football. The Gophers will play their final season in the Dome in 2008 before head-ing back to campus for the opening of TCF Bank Stadium.

In addition to serving as the home facility for the Golden Gophers, the Metrodome is home to theMinnesota Vikings and Twins. In 1989, it also served as home to the Timberwolves, who set the all-timeNBA attendance record in their inaugural season.

The Metrodome is located in downtown Minneapolis, just minutes away from the University cam-pus. Its seating capacity is listed at 64,172, but more than 65,000 fans have packed the place for Min-nesota football, including a crowd of 65,089 for the game against border-rival Wisconsin in 2005. Astadium record 65,184 attended the Minnesota-Iowa game in 2002.

History

1934 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSThe Golden Gopher football program is one built strongly on tradition. After winning the first-ever BigNine team title in 1900 and outscoring opponents by an incredible 618-12 margin in 1903, the Univer-sity of Minnesota football team finally won its first national championship in 1934.

Under the leadership of third-year coach Bernie Bierman, the Golden Gophers averaged 33.7points during the 1934 campaign, relying heavily on a potent running attack. The running game ac-counted for nearly 295 of the 325 yards the Maroon and Gold averaged each game. The Golden Go-phers were equally productive on the defensive side of the ball, shutting-out four of their eightopponents, while holding them to a meager 4.7 points and 103 yards per game.

Three players led Minnesota while earning All-America honors— Francis “Pug” Lund, Bill Bevanand Butch Larson, who earned the honor for a second straight year. Larson became only the fourthGolden Gopher to earn All-America status for two straight years, and is among 14 players to date inMinnesota history to earn such a distinction. In addition to Lund, Bevan and Larson, the Golden Go-phers featured three more All-Big Ten players. Perhaps the biggest key to Minnesota’s success, how-ever, was a running attack which saw eight different players score touchdowns during the season, ledby Stan Kostka with nine touchdowns, including a four-touchdown game.

The talented Golden Gopher team cruised through the first two games of the season with a 56-12 pounding of North Dakota State and a 20-0 victory over Nebraska.

After two weeks of rest, Minnesota looked flat against the Pittsburgh Panthers. They trailed 7-0after three quarters and were destroyed in nearly every statistical category. The Golden Gophers’ hopesfor a perfect season were fading. Minnesota was down, but they were not beaten. In the fourth quar-ter, Larson took the game over by recovering a fumble which led to a touchdown. On the very next se-ries, he threw the winning pass into the end zone. Minnesota’s dream for a title refused to die.

The following weekend, the Golden Gophers rebounded in style by crushing the rival IowaHawkeyes in Iowa City, Iowa, 48-12. Head Coach Bernie Bierman couldn’t have been happier with histeam’s reaction to their sub-par performance against Pittsburgh. The Golden Gophers held theHawkeyes to 129 total yards. Minnesota, on the other hand, had little problem moving the ball as theyracked up an astounding 514 yards on offense, all of them coming from the running game. Minnesotawas led by the exceptional performance of Kostka, who had another outstanding game, scoring threetouchdowns, as well as Julius Alfonse, who rushed for two scores.

After dismantling Iowa, Minnesota was still eager to get back on the field. The next opponent wasMichigan, and the Golden Gophers sought revenge. They had not brought the Little Brown Jug backto Memorial Stadium since 1927. Michigan came into Minneapolis sporting a 1-3 record and as thegame progressed, proved that a vast talent gap existed between the two teams. Minnesota breezedby the Wolverines 34-0 and the Golden Gopher defense continued to impress crowds as they heldMichigan scoreless on a mere 56 total yards for the game. In the meantime, the Maroon and Gold run-ning attack never lost a step as five different players scored touchdowns.

The Golden Gophers continued to roll over opponents in the ensuing weeks, beating Indiana 30-0 and Chicago 35-7. Indiana gained a grand total of zero yards against the smothering Minnesota de-fense, while Chicago was able to manage 82 yards. With four solid games since the Pittsburgh scare,Bierman and the Golden Gophers had every right to be confident about their chances of winning aconference and national championship heading into Wisconsin.

The Badgers were not a high-scoring team, nor did they allow teams many touchdowns. On thisday, however, the Golden Gophers flexed their muscle and scored 34 points against a defense that hadonly allowed 50 previously. With the victory over Wisconsin, Minnesota wrapped up its perfect seasonand first national championship.

1935 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSBernie Bierman started his fourth season as the head football coach at Minnesota in 1935. After lead-ing the Golden Gophers to their first national championship in 1934, expectations ran high for bothBierman and the team.

While the Golden Gophers were hurt by the graduation of three All-Americans from the 1934 sea-son, three other players stepped up their play to earn the same honor in 1935. Tackles Ed Widseth andDick Smith, along with guard Bud Wilkinson earned All-America honors, while quarterback Babe LeVoirand fullback Sheldon Beise joined the All-America threesome on the All-Big Ten team.

Minnesota opened the 1935 season with a schedule mirroring the previous season with gamesagainst North Dakota State and Nebraska to start the year. While the outcome was ultimately the samewith the Golden Gophers netting two victories, the offensive production was not quite as stunning. Afterdefeating NDSU 26-6, Minnesota traveled to Lincoln, Neb., to take on the Cornhuskers.

Nebraska showed improvement from the previous season when the Golden Gophers rolled overthem 20-0. Minnesota headed into the second quarter trailing 7-6, but was able to put another touch-down on the board before the half to lead 12-7. Nebraska’s defense was outstanding the remainder ofthe game and did not allow the Golden Gophers another touchdown. The Minnesota defense was justas stellar, however, and the Golden Gophers walked away from Lincoln with a 12-7 victory.

While Minnesota’s offense was not putting up the same numbers as 1934, the Golden Gopher de-fense remained just as stifling. Against Nebraska the defense allowed only five first downs and 110yards, so it was no surprise when Tulane ran into the same brick wall the next weekend in Minneapo-lis.

The visitors from Louisiana could do nothing right against Minnesota’s superior defense, which heldthem to a mere 60 yards for the game. Minnesota’s offense was still sputtering, however, as it managedonly 183 total yards, all of them on the ground. The Golden Gophers beat Tulane soundly by a scoreof 20-0, but there was a bit of concern surrounding offensive production heading into the Northwest-ern game.

The last time the Golden Gophers played Northwestern was in 1933 when the two teams battledto a 0-0 tie. The result in 1935 was much the same and after three quarters Minnesota held a meager14-13 lead. Northwestern threatened to move into scoring position late in the fourth quarter, but Wilkin-son intercepted a Wildcat pass and returned it to the Northwestern 15-yard line. The Golden Gopherswent on to score a touchdown and earn a hard-fought 21-13 win.

If there was any concern over the status of Golden Gopher football after the Northwestern game,Bierman’s squad was quick to put it to rest. The Northwestern game was the turning point for Min-nesota.

After Northwestern, the Golden Gophers went on to pound opponents by a total score of 115-20and Beise scored five of his seven touchdowns for the season in those four games. The Minnesota of-fense seemed to be back on track, but it was tested one last time against the University of Iowa.

The Iowa game held a bit more importance for Minnesota than it had in years past. After the 1934game in which Minnesota had knocked Iowa’s star running back Ozzie Simmons out of the game, Iowafans were livid and talks of post game mobs buzzed throughout Iowa City. Governor Clyde Herring ex-pressed the same emotion and said, “If the officials stand for any rough tactics like Minnesota used lastyear, I’m sure the crowd won’t.”

This caused some concern for Minnesotans and Governor Floyd Olson. In attempt to cool temperson both sides, Olson bet a prize Minnesota hog against a prize Iowa hog as a friendly gesture. Sobegan the tradition of “Floyd of Rosedale,” with the Golden Gophers winning a clean, hard-fought game13-6 and Olson earning himself a prize Iowa hog.

Minnesota cruised through the remainder of its schedule, beating Michigan, 40-0, and Wisconsin,33-7. Once again the Golden Gophers had wrapped up an undefeated season and also a nationalchampionship by beating the Badgers.



National Championships


1940 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSAfter three straight national championships from 1934-36, the University of Minnesota suffered its firstlosing season under legendary coach Bernie Bierman in 1939 when it finished 3-4-1. The experienceproved a humbling one for the Golden Gophers who were not accustomed to losing and the resultwas unpredictable. Minnesota rallied from a mediocre season to win its fourth national championshipin 1940.

The Golden Gopher offense was highlighted by the dynamic running tandem of George Franckand Bruce Smith who, together, combined to score over 60 percent of the touchdowns for the Ma-roon and Gold. Smith starred by scoring winning touchdowns on three separate occasions, whileFranck was named an All-American at the conclusion of the season — highlighted by his four touch-downs against the University of Iowa.

Before Minnesota could face a Big Ten opponent, they had to battle with such highly-toutednon-conference teams as Washington and Nebraska. Fortunately for the Golden Gophers, bothgames were at Memorial Stadium.

Heading into the 1940 season, Minnesota had never lost to Washington. The Huskies wereready to change that. Though Minnesota was outplayed in nearly every offensive category, a com-bination of outstanding kick returns and tough defense allowed the Golden Gophers to squeak by 19-14.

The Golden Gophers were never supposed to get by the Huskies and defeating Nebraska thefollowing weekend seemed even more unlikely. Nebraska knew about the outstanding two-touchdownperformance Franck displayed against Washington. Minnesota would have little chance if the Corn-huskers could shut down the running game.

Nebraska’s game plan worked wonders on Franck and Smith. What they had not counted onwas the superb play of William Daley and William Johnson, who gained nearly 300 yards on theground for the Golden Gophers. Minnesota’s defense once again showed it was golden as it held Ne-braska to only 25 yards on the ground. This took the Cornhuskers out of their game and vaultedMinnesota to a 13-7 victory.

Minnesota kept up its streak of close games when it defeated Ohio State 13-7. The Golden Go-phers were soundly beaten on paper, and most likely would have been beaten on the scoreboard hadit not been for the stellar play of Smith and his two touchdowns.

The next week, Franck finally broke open the Minnesota offense with his four touchdown per-formance in the Golden Gophers’ 34-6 drubbing of Iowa. The celebration would not last long, how-ever, as Minnesota next faced Northwestern — a team that had beaten the Golden Gophers for twostraight seasons.

The way Minnesota was playing, Northwestern did not figure to be an overly difficult opponent.They were much improved, however, and the Golden Gopher — Wildcat game had a tradition ofbeing battles to the end. From 1932 to 1949, no Minnesota— Northwestern game was ever decidedby more than a single touchdown. The same held true in 1940 as the Golden Gophers edged outNorthwestern 13-12. Were it not for two missed point-after attempts by the Wildcats, Minnesota’sdream season may have been over.

If college football fans missed the Northwestern game, the game against Michigan proved to bea near carbon copy. Minnesota won, 7-6, once again as a result of a missed point-after attempt.Smith proved to be a major factor in the game as he gained 116 of Minnesota’s 205 total yards andscored the lone Golden Gopher touchdown.

After winning two very close games against two quality Big Ten opponents, Minnesota headedinto the final two games of the season excited about its chances of bringing a national championshipback to Minnesota after a three-year absence. To do so, they would have to get by Purdue and Wis-consin. Neither team proved to be a match for the Golden Gophers as they beat Purdue 33-6, be-fore defeating Wisconsin in the final game of the season, 22-13, to win their fourth nationalchampionship in seven years.

1936 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSPrior to the 1936 football season, the Minnesota football team had gone 24 games without a loss andwon back-to-back national titles in both 1934 and 1935. Needless to say, a national championship trendhad caught on at the U of M, so the goals for 1936 proved to be no different.

What was going to be different about the 1936 season was the level of competition that the Ma-roon and Gold would face. Instead of beating up on smaller schools in non-conference games, HeadCoach Bernie Bierman added two tough games to the schedule. Rather than playing North DakotaState and Tulane, the Golden Gophers would travel to the University of Washington to take on the fifth-ranked Huskies, and then the University of Texas at home. The tough schedule combined with previ-ous struggles the Golden Gophers had experienced against Northwestern and Nebraska, appeared topresent a challenge for the two-time national champions.

Minnesota was set to open the 1936 season against Washington in Seattle, but it was a game thatalmost did not happen.

The Golden Gophers boarded the train in Minneapolis on Tuesday of that week for a four-day tripto the Pacific Northwest. Coach Bierman scheduled two practices along the way, one in Miles City,Mont., and one in Spokane, Wash., but it was a one-night stay in Missoula, Mont., that almost costMinnesota its chance with the Huskies.

Asleep in the Florence Hotel in Missoula, the Golden Gophers were forced to wake up around3 a.m. after it was discovered the building was on fire. The fire destroyed most of the hotel, forcingthe team to return to the train for the remainder of the evening. Luckily, nobody was hurt in the dis-aster.

Once in Seattle, as expected, the game proved a tough one for Minnesota. The stadium waspacked with 40,000 Washington fans cheering for the local team. The Huskies tied the Golden Go-phers, 7-7, in the third quarter, but to no avail.

The play of Minnesota’s Bud Wilkinson and JulianAlfonse proved too much for Washington. Wilkin-son knocked down several Washington passes and kicked two extra points before catching a 60-yardpass to put the Golden Gophers in scoring position in the fourth quarter. Alfonse almost single-hand-edly shut down the Husky offense as he intercepted three passes at the goal line and led Minnesota’sground attack. As a result, Minnesota’s win-streak remained in tact as they defeated Washington 14-7.

After narrowly escaping from Seattle with a victory, the Golden Gophers returned home to take onNebraska the following week. With a grueling trip behind them and an improved Cornhusker team onthe field, Minnesota had a difficult time with the second game of the year as well. Nebraska put up avaliant fight, but the Golden Gopher defense foiled the Cornhuskers who could not find the end zonein a 7-0 Minnesota win.

The first two games of the season had threatened Minnesota’s win streak, but the next two gamesleft no doubt why the Golden Gophers were the reigning two-time defending national champions. Min-nesota romped over Purdue 33-0, and handed Michigan a 26-0 loss to bring home the Little Brown Jugfor the third year in a row.

The two solid victories against Michigan and Purdue led into another huge game for the GoldenGophers at Northwestern. Northwestern was highly-ranked in the national polls and it appeared as ifthis game would determine the Big Ten and possibly the national champion.

Game day conditions were less than ideal as wind and rain persisted throughout the game, hin-dering ball movement by both teams. Neither team made a serious threat to score in the first half andall statistics were virtually even. The scoreless battle continued until the fourth quarter.

The Wildcats scored at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but failed to convert the extra point at-tempt. Minnesota put together three furious drives, all edging inside Northwestern’s 20-yard line. TheGolden Gophers were on the brink of defeat for the first time in 28 games. The Maroon and Gold sawtheir last chance slip away as a fourth down pass into the end zone was batted away with less than sixminutes left. Minnesota’s win streak was over. Northwestern dealt the Golden Gophers their first de-feat in three years.

Minnesota came out of the Northwestern game with something to prove. They did just that. TheGolden Gophers ripped through Iowa, 52-0, to bring home Floyd of Rosedale for the second consec-utive time. They also crushed Texas, 47-19, and finished off the season against Wisconsin with a 24-0 victory.

Amazingly enough, even with a loss and no Big Ten Conference title, Minnesota was still voted the1936 national champion. The Golden Gophers may have lost to Northwestern, but allowed only twoother opponents to score. The thorough dominance Minnesota had demonstrated earned them an un-precedented third straight national championship.


National Championships


1941 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSAfter returning to the national spotlight in 1940, expectations for the 1941 Golden Gophers were highonce again. On top of an already difficult Big Ten schedule, Minnesota had to go to battle once againwith national powers Nebraska and Washington. But talk of another title flowed freely throughout Me-morial Stadium.

The real superstar, and the key to Minnesota’s national title hopes, proved to be Bruce Smith.While Smith was only the third leading rusher on the team, his outstanding play and attitude on thefield earned him widespread recognition. He not only earned All-Big Ten and All-America status, butalso became Minnesota’s first and only player to ever win the Heisman Trophy. While Smith’s individ-ual accomplishments were among the greatest in Minnesota history, the fight that the Golden Go-phers put up during the 1941 season was every bit as exciting.

Minnesota opened the 1941 campaign against Washington in Seattle. The Huskies had estab-lished themselves as a dominant force, and games between the two teams traditionally proved to bevery close.

This season’s match-up was to be more of the same. The Golden Gophers managed only 213yards on the ground, 189 of them between Smith and Bill Daley. In the end it was the Minnesota de-fense who prevailed, smothering its opponent time after time as the Maroon and Gold escaped fromSeattle with a 14-6 victory.

Minnesota opened its Big Ten schedule with the conference doormat, Illinois. As expected, theGolden Gophers rolled over the Orange and Blue 34-6. It proved to be a good preparatory game be-fore another non-conference tilt against Pittsburgh.

Minnesota had not played Pittsburgh since the Golden Gophers won their first national champi-onship in 1934. The Panthers gave Minnesota everything they wanted and more in 1934, but 1941proved to be a different story. Minnesota dominated the Panthers in every aspect of the game. Despitefumbling the ball away four times, the offense racked up 39 points, while the defense stood strong byintercepting two passes and not allowing the Panthers a taste of the end zone.

After the Pittsburgh game, the Maroon and Gold headed into the meat of its schedule againstMichigan, Northwestern, Nebraska, and Iowa. It was clear that if the Golden Gophers wanted to re-peat as national champions that this stretch of the schedule would determine just how good the teamtruly was.

Michigan and Northwestern appeared to be the two greatest threats to Minnesota’s title hopes.Both teams had established themselves among the best in the conference and historically had givenMinnesota fits. History was on Minnesota’s side, however, as they had emerged with victories in al-most every close game in the past 10 seasons.

Michigan was looking to rain on Minnesota’s national championship parade after the Golden Go-phers had defeated them on Bruce Smith’s lastminute touchdown the previous season. Michigan wasable to contain Smith and Daley reasonably well, but in the end the Wolverine offense could not beatMinnesota’s defense and the Golden Gophers squeaked out a 7-0 victory.

Northwestern wanted revenge much the same as Michigan since Minnesota had come away witha one point victory the previous season. Northwestern had luck on its side as Smith was injured andunable to carry the ball for the Golden Gophers. It appeared as if the elements were in line for the Wild-cats to dethrone the reigning national champions. It was not to be however. Without Smith, Bud Hig-gins stepped up his game to gain 96 yards for the Golden Gophers and lead them to another excitingone point win over Northwestern, 8-7.

Minnesotans were somewhat concerned with their chances to win without Smith on the field.Against Iowa Head Coach Bernie Bierman chose to sit Smith out and not risk further injuring his knee.After one quarter, the Golden Gophers had not gained a single yard on the ground. Smith realized thatif Minnesota was to win another championship he had to contribute. After convincing coach Biermanto put him in the game, Smith put the Golden Gophers in position to score three touchdowns. WhileSmith did not gain a large number of yards, he had helped to keep the Minnesota championship hopesalive.

The Golden Gophers closed out their season playing the University of Wisconsin. For the fifth timein eight years, Minnesota beat the Badgers to end the season and wrap up a national championship,making Bernie Bierman the winningest coach in school history.

1960 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSThe 1960-61 athletic season proved to be one of the most productive ever for the University of Min-nesota Athletics Department. Swimmer Steve Jackman won the NCAA 100-yard freestyle while set-ting the American record, and the hockey team placed third at the NCAA Tournament. The crowningachievements, however, were the two national championships the school won. Baseball won its sec-ond national title in four years, while the Minnesota football team returned to national prominence bywinning its sixth national title.

Murray Warmath entered his seventh season as the Minnesota head football coach on the heelsof three consecutive losing seasons.

Expectations to start the season were not very high as the Golden Gophers were not ranked bya single news service. To add insult to pre-season injury, Minnesota lost to the alumni squad 19-7.The outlook for the 1960 season did not appear to be a bright one.

The Golden Gophers opened the season against Nebraska, a game which virtually no one gaveMinnesota a chance to win. Minnesota surprised everyone, thanks to strong performances by All-America lineman Tom Brown and quarterback Sandy Stephens. Stephens completed 5-of-6 pass at-tempts and kept Nebraska pinned deep by averaging 40.1 yards per punt on seven boots.

Minnesota’s 26-14 win over Nebraska did not quiet doubters in the least and was considered afluke. The Golden Gophers headed into the Big Ten schedule with something to prove.

Minnesota opened the Big Ten season with an impressive 42-0 rout of Indiana. Minnesota’s of-fense sputtered in the first three quarters, but exploded for four touchdowns in the final quarter— twowithin 60 seconds of each other.

The Golden Gophers next looked to a Northwestern team which had beaten them in each of theprevious two years. It looked to be a good challenge for Warmath’s undefeated team, especially sincethey had to contend with Northwestern’s outstanding quarterback, Dick Thornton. Minnesota’s offensestole the show the week before, and now it was the defense’s turn to star against Northwestern. TomBrown repeatedly leveled Thornton on rushing attacks and held him to minus-14 net yards rushing.When Brown was not stopping Thornton on the ground, he was forcing him into poor passing decisionsas the U of M came away with a 7-0 victory over the Wildcats.

The Golden Gophers established their defense as among the toughest in the conference, butagainst Illinois the Golden Gophers flip-flopped positions and they took an outstanding offensive per-formance to wrap up the game. Stephens starred by scoring all three Minnesota touchdowns en routeto a 21-10 win. Minnesota realized that they must play consistently on the offensive side of the ball inorder to keep winning.

Warmath managed to get more consistency out of his offense the next three games, while the de-fense continued to stifle opponents. The Golden Gophers beat Michigan, 10-0, then went on to defeatKansas State and Iowa, 48-7 and 27-10, respectively. Minnesota appeared to be rolling with only twogames remaining in the regular season.

The Purdue Boilermakers were among the worst teams in the conference in 1960 and looked topose little problem for the seemingly unstoppable Golden Gophers. Minnesota showed flashes of thealumni game, however, and was shocked 23-14 at Memorial Stadium. The loss was huge. It vaultedIowa into first place in the major polls, and put Minnesota in a tie for first in the Big Ten. The GoldenGophers had a must-win game against Wisconsin to end the season.

The Badgers were also a fairly weak team, but there would be no repeat upset over the GoldenGophers in the final game of the season as Minnesota cruised to a 26-7 victory. Minnesota’s win, cou-pled with an 8-1 record, earned them enough votes to take over first place from Iowa in both the finalAP and UPI polls. The Golden Gophers had earned their sixth national championship and first-ever tripto the Rose Bowl in the process.


Rivalry Trophies


FLOYD OF ROSEDALEMinnesota vs. IowaThe states of Minnesota and Iowa battle it out everyyear in college football, when their teams face eachother in one of the most emotional rivalries in the coun-try. The winner of the game earns the right to keep thebronze statue of a pig called “Floyd of Rosedale.”

The year was 1935, and emotions were runninghot heading into the Minnesota-Iowa game. BernieBierman’s Gophers were 5-0, and Ossie Solem’s Hawkeyes were 4-0-1. Iowa had recently been rein-stated to eligibility following a suspension for slush-fund violations, a suspension that had been ardentlysupported by a Minnesota representative. To make matters worse, Iowa fans still remembered the con-test from the year before, when Minnesota players had roughed up Hawkeye star Ozzie Simmons sobadly that he had to leave the game because of injuries.

The game in 1935 was at Iowa, and the host state had not forgotten either of the incidents. IowaGovernor Clyde Herring incited the fans and joined in the bitter feelings toward the state to the north andits football squad by saying, “If the officials stand for any rough tactics like Minnesota used last year, I’msure the crowd won’t.”

Greatly alarmed, Minnesota’s Governor Floyd Olson tried to cool the hot heads of fans on bothsides of the border with his telegrammed answer to Herring. “Minnesota folks are excited over yourstatement about Iowa crowds lynching the Minnesota football team. I have assured them you are lawabiding gentlemen and are only trying to get our goat...I will bet you a Minnesota prize hog against anIowa prize hog that Minnesota wins.”

The diplomatic tactic eased the tension, and the game was a hard-fought, but cleanly played, 13-6 Minnesota victory. More importantly, no mob of angry fans got involved in any postgame, extracurric-ular activity. The Golden Gophers brought home “Floyd of Rosedale,” an award-winning prize pig whichhad been donated by Allen Loomis, the owner of Rosedale Farms near Fort Dodge, Iowa, and namedafter the Minnesota governor.

A few days later, Governor Herring collected Floyd and personally walked him into Governor Olson’scarpeted office. About the same time, news surfaced that an Iowa fan had sworn out a warrant charg-ing Herring with gambling. Olson good-naturedly offered asylum, but Herring declined. “I might have togo home and write out a pardon for myself,” Herring joked.

Governor Olson later offered Floyd up as the grand prize in a state-wide essay-writing contest,which was won by 14-year old Robert Jones. Jones later sold the hog to the U of M. A year later, theUniversity sold Floyd to J.B. Gjerdrum, a breeder who lived near Mabel, Minn., on the Iowa-Minnesotaborder, for “about $50” according to Gjerdrum. Sadly, in a death most unbefitting a figure of such stature,Floyd passed on to that great pigpen in the sky. As Gjerdrum noted, “We had him about a year. Therewas hog cholera around…One day he just leaned up against a straw pile and died.”

The spirit of good sportsmanship embodied by Floyd lives on in the form of a 15 1/2-inch high, 21-inch long bronze statue of the prize hog. The sculpture was commissioned by Governor Olson and cre-ated by Charles Brioschi, a St. Paul artist.

Every year, since 1935, these two border-state rivals have fought for the right to pen the bronze pigin their own trophy case. During that span, Minnesota has won Floyd 38 times, Iowa has won 31, andthere have been two ties. From 1983 to 2000, Minnesota and Iowa saved each other for the most im-portant and emotional season finale slot. Every college football season, Minnesota and Iowa fight for“Floyd of Rosedale,” a symbol of how interstate tension can be averted through athletic competition.

LITTLE BROWN JUGMinnesota vs. MichiganThe story of “The Little Brown Jug,” neither little nor brown, began at the turnof the century. The fabled “point-a-minute” Michigan football squads,coached by Fielding Yost, were destroying everyone in the nation, and hadwon 28 straight games heading into Minneapolis in 1903.

The pregame revelry pulsed through the campus. Minnesota had oneof its best teams in school history and expected to give Yost’s squad a runfor their money. Before the game, students paraded across the field withvarious painted livestock, while fans filtered into the stadium from a con-stant stream of arriving streetcars. The 20,000 fans, positioned in bleachers, as well as atop trees and tele-phone poles, remained civil until the Gophers scored a second-half touchdown that tied the score at 6-6.At this point, fans stormed the field in celebration, causing pandemonium so great that the game had tobe called with two minutes remaining on the clock.

On the morning following the contest, Minnesota custodian Oscar Munson carried an earthenwarewater jug to the office of L. J. Cooke, head of the athletics department. Munson pronounced in a heavyScandinavian accent, “Jost left his yug.” Still giddy from the tie, they decided to keep the prize, and paintedon its side “Michigan Jug - Captured by Oscar, October 31, 1903,” and the score, “Minnesota 6, Michigan6.” The Minnesota score appeared comically “as big as a house,” dwarfing the Michigan score beside it.Yost sent a letter asking Minnesota to return the jug. Cooke wrote back “if you want it, you’ll have to winit.”

The two teams didn’t play again until 1909. Michigan won the game that year, and Minnesota dutifullyreturned the jug. In 1910, Michigan left the conference, and Minnesota didn’t have a chance to win it backuntil 1919. That year the Gophers, led by their star Arnie Oss, stormed into Ann Arbor and pounded theWolverines 34-7 on their own Ferry Field. When Minnesota asked for the symbolic trophy at the end of thegame, their rivals couldn’t find it. But the Gopher players persisted, and Wolverine equipment man HenryHatch came up with it after a short time, saying that he found it “overgrown behind a clump of shrubbery nearthe gym.” Later, Minnesota historians said, “…but most likely it was found in a trophy case inside the gym-nasium, easily dusted off and proudly brought back to Minnesota.”

Cooke took out his paint brush again to paint that year’s result. In the end, his two artistic attemptshad taken up the whole surface of the five gallon jug, so when Michigan took it back the next year, thetwo schools decided to give the entire jug a colorful gloss. Now, the results of 86 games — including twoin one season (1926) are embossed on on its sides: 64 won by Michigan, 22 by Minnesota, and three ties.Due to the Big Ten’s unbalanced schedule, Minnesota and Michigan did not face each other in either1999 or 2000, breaking a consecutive streak of annual contests that dated back to the 1929 season.

After a 20-year absence, Minnesota returned the jug to its original home with a last-second victoryover Michigan in 2005 in Ann Arbor. Following a 61-yard run by Gary Russell with just over a minute re-maining, Jason Giannini hit a 30-yard field goal as time expired, giving the Gophers the 23-20 victory. Injubilation of their first win over the Wolverines since 1986, the Gopher players stormed the Michigan side-line to secure the prodigious prize.

Cooke once mused on the strange power within the stonewear crock, “I sometimes think that the jughas been filled with spirits, not alcoholic, but the disembodied spirits of the countless players who havefought for it on the gridiron...”

In many ways, the jug represents the history of college football. It overflows with historic battles fornational and conference championships, and may indeed be filled with the spirits of gridiron men who wenton to win Heisman Trophies and Hall of Fame honors. It is the most famous of all college rivalry trophies,and no other inanimate object comes close to the aura of tradition like the Little Brown Jug.

Rivalry Trophies


PAUL BUNYAN’S AXEMinnesota vs. WisconsinAt 117 games and counting, the series between Minnesota and Wis-consin ranks as the longest in Division 1-A football; and “Paul Bun-yan’s Axe” has the history of one of college football’s fiercestrivalries emblazoned on its six-foot long handle. The first game inthe series, a 63-0 Gopher victory in 1890, is printed on the handlenear the axe’s head. The results of every successive game line thehandle in red ink. There have been so many games that the scoresscroll up and down the width of both sides of the handle, and schoolofficials have now resorted to writing scores on the narrow edges ofthe six-foot shaft.

By 1930, “Paul Bunyan’s Axe” wasn’t even created, althoughthe rivalry had already reached feverish levels. The 1906 game wascanceled by President Theodore Roosevelt, who had decided tocool off heated college football rivalries, because of injuries and deaths on the field. In 1914, Minnesotafaced the Badgers for the Gophers’ first Homecoming game; likewise, Wisconsin hosted Minnesota forthe Badgers’ first in 1919. Between the years 1923 and 1925, the teams battled to three straight ties.

To symbolically capture the amazing atmosphere of the annual match-up, Dr. R.B. Fouch of Min-neapolis fashioned a bacon slab out of black walnut to serve as the traveling trophy that he hopedwould compare to the well-known “Little Brown Jug,” which Minnesota and Michigan played for everyyear. The “Slab of Bacon,” first played for in 1930, had a football carved on top inscribed with an “M”or “W”, depending on how you held it. The idea was that the winning team would “bring home thebacon.”

But in the early ’40s, the Slab of Bacon became the “Missing Slab of Bacon.” Peg Watrous, whowas the president of Wisconsin women students at the time, relates that she and her counterpart fromMinnesota were to have a symbolic exchange after the game, whereby the trophy would be awardedto the winning team. Minnesota won, but in characteristic fashion, a postgame melee broke out on thefield, with students and spectators running crazy over the field. Watrous couldn’t find her counterpart,and was left “holding the bacon,” as it were. “I have no memory of what happened after that…The wholething was a dud, as I feared it would be,” Watrous remembered good-humoredly, “and someone incharge probably hid the bacon.”

But the two teams had to play for something, so in 1948 the Wisconsin W Club instituted “Paul Bun-yan’s Axe” as a trophy more befitting the grand rivalry between the two schools. The annual battleshave survived so long that in the ’60s the teams started to print the games’ final scores smaller andsmaller, scrunching the letters in order to avoid reaching the end of the axe’s shaft. But the series con-tinued to roll, and the last game to be painted on the broad face of the handle was in 1980. The 25 sub-sequent games appear on the narrow side of the handle.

The Slab of Bacon was back in the news in the summer of 1994, when the long-lost trophy wasfound after a Camp Randall Stadium storage room was cleaned out. Wisconsin officials estimated that

it had been missing since1945; yet the scores of everyWisconsin-Minnesota gamefrom 1930-70 were printed onthe back of the slab. It is oneof those Twilight Zonesquemysteries that remains unex-plained, and contributes to thelegend of Minnesota’s andWisconsin’s “Border Battle” ri-valry.

GOVERNOR’S VICTORY BELLMinnesota vs. Penn StateLike Floyd of Rosedale, Minnesota’s fourth and most recent tradi-tional game trophy was founded by a pair of state governors.

Then-acting Governor Mark Singel of Pennsylvania and for-mer Governor Arne Carlson of Minnesota established the Gover-nor’s Victory Bell on Sept. 4, 1993, the date of the firstMinnesota-Penn State game. The contest, which took place atBeaver Stadium on the Penn State campus, not only marked thefirst game between the two teams, but also signified the inauguralBig Ten game for the Nittany Lions.

“As the Nittany Lions’ initial conference opponent, Minnesotaalways will occupy a special place in Penn State football history,and we think it is appropriate to mark the occasion in this distinctivefashion,” said Singel in 1993. “Governor Robert Casey was an early supporter of Penn State’s move tothe Big Ten Conference, and I know he looks forward to future conference games involving the NittanyLions.”

“Big Ten athletics has been a tremendously positive experience in the life of our state,” said Carlson.“Minnesota’s matchup against Penn State is a historic welcome to a school that will further enrich that ex-perience for all of us. This trophy marks a very special occasion, and will allow us to remember it for yearsto come.”

An artists’ conception of the Governor’s Victory Bell was presented by Singel and Carlson prior to thekickoff of that 1993 game, which Penn State won 38-20. The design of the trophy is a brass bell bearingthe medallion of the Big Ten Conference, suspended from a wooden frame. At the top of the frame is aplaque which features the state seals of Minnesota and Pennsylvania, along with the following inscription:

Governor’s Victory BellPresented annually to the winner of the Penn State-Minnesota football game Established

September 4, 1993Governor Robert Casey, PennsylvaniaGovernor Arne Carlson, Minnesota

At the bottom of the base, the Minnesota and Penn State athletics logos appear, along with individ-ual brass plates for inscription of the scores of the games between the two teams.

After a two year hiatus between 1995-96, the battle for the Governor’s Victory Bell returned in 1997when Penn State earned a hard-fought 16-15 victory at Beaver Stadium. The 1998 game returned to theMetrodome for only the second time in the short history of the Bell, where the Nittany Lions earned a 27-17 win. Minnesota took the Victory Bell home for the first time in 1999 when the Golden Gophers scoreda historic 24-23 upset over the second-ranked Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium. In 2000, the Golden Go-phers were again victorious, winning 25-16 at the Metrodome.

The Nittany Lions and Golden Gophers didn’t meet in 2001 and 2002 and when the series renewedin 2003, the Gophers earned the right to keep the Bell with a 20-14 win in Happy Valley. Penn Stateclaimed the bell for the first time in six years with their 44-14 win over Minnesota in 2005 and retained itwith a 28-27 overtime win over the Gophers last season in the Metrodome. The two teams will not faceeach other again until 2009.

The addition of the Governor’s Victory Bell to the Golden Gophers’ list of traditional trophy gamesmeans that Minnesota now has four active “trophy” rivalries on its schedule, more than any other collegefootball program in the country.

Administration


Robert Bruininksuniversity president

Robert H. Bruininks was appointed the 15th president of the University of Minnesota on November 8, 2002.He has served the University for 40 years, formerly as a professor, dean, and executive vice president and provost.

For the past three years, Bruininks has overseen a transformative strategic positioning effort at the Univer-sity that has raised the bar considerably for the University’s academic profile, its service to students and the com-munity, and its stewardship of resources.

Already, the results of this intensive effort are visible. In the past academic year alone, the University has un-dertaken initiatives including:

• the adoption of aggressive new four-year graduation goals for each campus• the development of student learning and development outcomes that clearly outline what all University stu-dents should know and be able to do at graduation, regardless of academic program

• the implementation of tuition reforms enabling many students to save significantly on the total cost of edu-cation

• the revision of the faculty tenure and promotion code to better recognize and reward outstanding scholar-ship in all its forms

"The University has undertaken significant reform in the context of an increasingly competitive global marketfor resources, talent, and ideas," Bruininks said. "Our vision is to improve lives through the advancement of knowl-edge, and our strategic goal is aspirational, audacious, and, I believe, achievable: to become one of the top threepublic research universities in the world, with a deep and abiding cultural commitment to excellence in everythingwe do, across all our campuses, research and outreach centers, and offices statewide."

Students and AffordabilityInnovations in the University's student experience, such as expanded undergraduate research and study

abroad opportunities, a campus-wide Honors Program for the Twin Cities campus, and an increased emphasis onenhancing teaching and learning, have helped to fuel high student satisfaction rates, increased applications andenrollment, and significantly improved graduation rates. With more than 65,000 students enrolled system-wide—including more than 50,000 on the Twin Cities campus alone—the University of Minnesota is one of the nation'slargest.

Affordability for students here and at the University's four coordinate campuses remains a primary concernfor the Bruininks administration. Launched in 2005, the Founders Free Tuition Program now covers full cost of tu-ition and required fees for low-income, Pell-eligible Minnesota students statewide. Once fully implemented, theaward is expected to benefit 4,500 undergraduates across the University.

In addition, Bruininks has made student scholarships the University's top fundraising priority. The Promise forTomorrow scholarship drive reached its initial goal of $150 million in October 2006 and has now raised roughly $210million. Some 6,700 students received privately funded scholarships and fellowships last year; the University's newgoal is to help 10,000 students with privately raised financial assistance.

Leadership and ExperienceBruininks's career has centered on child and adolescent development and policy research, and strategic im-

provement in the fields of pre-kindergarten to grade 12 and higher education. Initially joining the University's fac-ulty as an assistant professor of educational psychology, he has authored or coauthored nearly 90 journal articlesand more than 70 book chapters, as well as training materials and several standardized tests.

Both as a faculty member and as an administrator, Bruininks has worked to advance the public mission andresponsibilities of the University. He has been a leading advocate for responsible stewardship and reform in highereducation, including the strategic reorganization of University of Minnesota Extension and the colleges of Design;Education and Human Development; and Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences to better serve thestate, its citizens, and students. He has renewed the University's commitment to its responsibilities, fostering newopportunities for public engagement and economic development through initiatives including the Council On Pub-lic Engagement (COPE), the Outstanding Community Service Awards, the University Metropolitan Consortium, the

College Readiness Consortium, and the Academic Cor-porate Relations Center (ACRC), as well as enhancing theUniversity's focus on issues of sustainability through re-search structures including the Initiative for RenewableEnergy and the Environment (IREE) and Institute on theEnvironment, and through numerous administrative initia-tives and reforms.

During his tenure at the University, Bruininks was in-strumental in founding the National Center on EducationalOutcomes, the Rehabilitation Research and Training Cen-ter on Community Living, and the Institute on CommunityIntegration. He has been honored with numerous awards,including the Kellogg Foundation National Leadership Fel-lowship. He is president emeritus of the American Associ-ation on Mental Retardation and has been elected aFellow of the American Psychological Association and theAmerican Psychological Society. Nationally, he serves onthe J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, andchairs the board of the National Association of State Uni-versities and Land Grant Colleges; in Minnesota he servesas a member of the Itasca Project and the Minnesota Busi-ness Partnership.

In 2007, Bruininks joined the NCAA Division I Boardof Directors. He has also been instrumental in bringing BigTen football back to the Twin Cities campus with the con-struction of TCF Bank Stadium, slated to open in Fall2009. In addition to hosting home football games, the newstadium will provide a permanent home for the marchingband, an important new venue for University and commu-nity events, and a prominent public gateway to the Uni-versity’s broader mission of education, research and public engagement.

Named Minnesotan of the Year by Minnesota Monthly in 2004, Bruininks regularly speaks on behalf of theUniversity of Minnesota in its important role as the state's major research university. After shepherding the Universitythrough a nearly 15 percent cut in state funding in 2003, he has helped renew the partnership between the stateand the University. With Bruininks as its chief advocate, the University has secured increased state funding for keyacademic priorities and capital projects each year since 2005.

In November 2005, Bruininks led a group of Minnesota educators to China as part of the governor's trade del-egation. In May 2006, he headed a delegation of University leaders to Norway to renew student exchange agree-ments and deepen research ties with that country’s leading universities, and in May 2007, he led a delegation toIceland to renew an historic 25-year agreement with the University of Iceland and expand upon it, particularly inthe health sciences.

JoelMaturiathletics director

Entering his seventh year as Director of Athletics at the University of Minnesota, Joel Maturi has transformed the GoldenGophers into a model NCAADivision I-A athletic department. A native of Chisholm, Minn., Maturi’s leadership, vision and ded-ication has helped Minnesota achieve four major goals thought almost unattainable prior to his arrival: a merged department,a balanced budget, broad-based athletic success and the dream of returning Golden Gopher football back to campus.

Hired on July 12, 2002, Maturi became the first athletic director of the merged men’s and women’s athletic departments.He inherited a department that was projected to be $31 million in debt by 20086, planned to eliminate three sports and couldonly dream of Gopher football returning to campus. Since then, Maturi has guided a department that has operated with a bal-anced budget, retained the three sports and in 2009 Gopher football will be playing in the on-campus TCF Bank Stadium.

Maturi’s tenure has been marked by continual athletic and academic success by his 25-sport department. His programshave accumulated four national championships, 24 Big Ten or WCHA regular season titles and five conference postseasoncrowns. Minnesota has also placed in the top 30 of the United States Sports Academy Directors’ Cup final standing each yearof his term, including during the 2007-08 campaign that saw the Gophers claim three Big Ten titles, advance 16 sports to post-season competition, produce 225 academic all-conference selections and 19 academic all-district honorees.

The 2006-07 season was a banner year as well as wrestling won its third NCAA championship in the seven years. TheGopher wrestlers were also one of six teams to take home conference championships. The men’s swimming and diving teamwon its fifth Big Ten title in seven years and placed 10th at the NCAAChampionships. The men’s hockey team won theWCHAregular season and Final Five titles while the women’s indoor track and field team won its first Big Ten crown. Rowing alsowon its first Big Ten title and posted a program-best sixth place finish at the NCAAChampionships. Men’s golf added its thirdBig Ten title since 2002 and posted a strong ninth place finish at the NCAA Finals. The football team reached a bowl gamefor the fifth consecutive season with a bid to the Insight Bowl in Tempe, Ariz.

The Gopher athletic department finished 20th in the Director’s Cup in 2006-07, marking the 13th straight year that Min-nesota has placed in the top 25 of the rankings that chart overall athletic success among all NCAA Division I programs.

During the 2005-06 academic year, Maturi guided a department that produced 32All-Americans, four conference cham-pionships and 22 individual conference championships. Minnesota also produced 40 first-team All-Conference performers,five Academic All-Americans and 14 Academic All-District honorees. The Gopher wrestling and women’s hockey team eachfinished second in the nation, while men’s golf (3rd), women’s cross country (9th), men’s gymnastics (9th) and men’s swim-ming & diving (11th) added four more top-15 national finishes.

Wrestling, women’s gymnastics, men’s hockey and women’s track & field each won Big Ten Conference team titles. Over-all, 16 of the Gophers’ 25 sports finished in the top three of the conference during 2005-06, and 19 of the 25 teams advancedto NCAA postseason competition. The Gopher football team qualified for its fourth consecutive bowl game and sixth in thepast seven years with a trip to the Music City Bowl.

The department also was involved in hosting several Big Ten, WCHA and NCAAChampionships during the year, mostnotably the 2006 Division I Men’s Basketball Minneapolis Region Championship and the 2006 NCAAWomen’s Frozen Four.Women’s rowing had its highest finish ever at the Big Ten Championships, rowing to a second-place finish on Lake Phalenin St. Paul. The Baseline Tennis Center hosted the Big Ten men’s tennis championships for the first time, while Ridder andMariucci HockeyArenas hosted women’s and men’s WCHA first round competition, respectively. In March of 2007, Minnesotabecame the first school to ever host the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Division I Swimming & Diving Championships in con-secutive weeks. Across University Avenue, Williams Arena hosted the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball First and Sec-ond Rounds for the third time in four years.

In 2003-04, the women’s hockey team won the national title for the second straight season while three women’s pro-grams (women’s basketball, volleyball and women’s basketball) all reached their respective NCAA Final Fours. Volleyballmade the championship match and basketball qualified for its first national semifinal. The Gophers won four conference ti-tles in 2003-04 and two conference postseason titles. In Maturi’s first year as athletic director, Minnesota won five regular sea-son titles while the men’s hockey team won the WCHA Final Five and continued the momentum into the NCAA Tournamentwhere it won its second straight national championship.

Academically, the Gophers had 222 student-athletes earn Big Ten All-Academic status during the 2006-07 academicyear, the third most in the conference. During the past four seasons, the Gophers have placed 865 student-athletes on the con-ference’s all-academic team, the highest four-year total in school history. Over 50 percent of Gopher student-athletes maintaina grade point average of 3.0 or higher and 27 student-athletes have earnedAcademicAll-America status during Maturi’s tenure.During 2006-07, over 400 student-athletes maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better, a record for the athletic department.

During the 2004-05 academic year, Maturi was instrumental in adding credibility to the Gopher stadium campaign bynegotiating a $35 million corporate sponsorship with TCF Bank for naming rights, the largest corporate sponsorship of its kindinvolving college football. Maturi’s efforts were even more legitimized in May 2006 when the Minnesota State Legislature ap-proved overwhelmingly to support the Gopher football return to campus. The bipartisan vote will allocate $137 million to the$288.5 million project.

In addition to TCF Bank Stadium, Maturi has been involved in numerous facility improvements the past few years, in-cluding upgrades during the 2005-06 academic year to the men’s and women’s basketball locker room and team arenas inWilliams Arena and the football training and equipment rooms in the Gibson-Nagurski Football Complex. In March of 2007,Maturi oversaw the grand opening ceremony for a new boathouse that serves as the home of the women’s rowing programon the MIssissippi River.

And there’s more on the way. Minnesota is in the early stages of creating a new home for Golden Gopher baseball andis expected to unveil plans for the new stadium soon.

Maturi, 63, increased his leadership role within the Big Ten and NCAAduring the past few years by being named to sev-eral prominent committees, most notably the NCAA Division I Management Council. He has served as the ManagementCouncil’s liaison to the NCAA Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee for the past year. Maturi is has also served asa member of the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Committee, and will chair this committee during the 2007-08 season.

Prior to his arrival, Maturi was the Director of Athletics at Miami University (Ohio). At Miami, Maturi was responsible forthe management and leadership of 19 sports programs, all support staffs and nearly 600 student-athletes. His first season atMiami was an extremely successful one. The synchronized skating team won a national championship, the men’s basketballteam reached the NCAA Sweet 16, the volleyball team earned its first NCAATournament win, the men’s cross country teamadvanced to the NCAAmeet and the football team won 10 games against an impressive schedule. That year, six teams wonMid-American Conference titles while five coaches garnered Coach of the Year honors.

During his tenure at Miami, Maturi spearheaded fund-raising efforts for two important and necessary projects. In his finalyear, the Walter L. Gross Jr. Family Student-Athlete Development Center was opened and a new baseball field, McKie Fieldat Hayden Park, was dedicated. Maturi also made an impact on the campus and the community in Oxford, Ohio. He was arecipient of a Campus Impact Award, received an award from the Butler County Board of Mental Retardation & Develop-mental Disabilities for his efforts to help those in need, the Miami Alumni Association’s A.K. Morris Award for his service tothe Association and the Myrtis Powell Building Community Award. In addition, he chaired the Central Collegiate Hockey As-sociation (CCHA) executive council in 2001-02, and also served as the chair of the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship Com-mittee for Region 4 and was the liaison for the men’s basketball coaches in the MAC.

Prior to his time at Miami, Maturi served as the Director of Athletics at the University of Denver from 1996-98. At Denver,Maturi led the school’s move from Division II to Division I and oversaw the search for Division I conference affiliation. Maturialso assisted in the planning and development of a $50 million Sports and Wellness Center and a $2.1 million tennis complex.

Maturi is no stranger to the Big Ten. From 1987-96, he worked at the University of Wisconsin. While there, he assistedin taking the financially challenged and struggling athletics program to profitability and success. From 1992-96, he was theAssociate Director of Athletics with direct responsibility for all aspects of the football, ice hockey, wrestling, softball, men’s andwomen’s cross country, men’s and women’s rowing, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field teams, as wellas the office of academic affairs. He also chaired the Department’s “Support” Program, a wellness program for student-ath-letes and staff. Maturi was named the Wisconsin Sports Person of the Year in 1993.

Before entering the college ranks, Maturi spent 19 years as a high school coach and administrator at Madison Edge-wood High School. He coached football, basketball, baseball and track and field, leading his teams to 10 state tournaments.Maturi was inducted into the Wisconsin Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992.
