Interesting. That game was the most memorable for me in all the games I have witnessed in MSU history. Probably the second most memorable was the 1993 game vs. NDSU at Mankato; though I was only able to hear the broadcast due to work at home. As I recall, the Mavs ended up winning 21-20 after trailing by 20 at halftime.

He said that it sucked ass for everyone. Not for us, we won. The only place I can think of with those kinds of conditions was the 2011 playoff game in St Cloud against Wayne State U. More snow at that game, less wind. And I was at both of them.

Or their parents. As a millennial I can speak on the behalf of them. Most millennials want to live in the now moment (or you only live once) instead of saving up for the future like retirement for example.

Yes, absolutely. I've seen that too.

The other thing too - I had so much coursework I had to do over Spring Break last time that I spent a good portion of the break at school studying. Either everyone else was a better student than I was and got it all done before they left, or they were in a world of hurt getting back. I'd place my bet on the latter of the two.

Student engagement in university affairs is pretty bad, and not just at MSU. I'd place my bet on the students just not caring.

As am I.

Generally speaking, I think those trips are paid for through taking out extra student loans. You wouldn't believe what some college students will spend that money on - then they complain about being $60,000 in the hole after graduation.

Passing this is a huge win for MSU and the Mankato community!

Amazed me that there were no fumbles by Gunn or Schlichte or bad snaps. As for penalties it would had been hard for the officials to call one unless it was an obvious or egregious. Certainly a drive for the ages.
