I cannot tell you how cathartic that day was for me. Well, a lot of you can probably relate, but man that was a LOOOONG season. I was completely beaten down at that point. I went not expecting much (as was par for the course at that point), but man, what a special day. I was literally running through the aisles after that TD run by Q. Special memories.
I also remember how Ferentz complained about onside kicks after this and they changed the rule.
Good job, Coach Horton.
The man did some amazing things when you consider the circumstances. The best games of the season all happened after he took over. Got the team to keep fighting and made some memories out of a lost season.
Looks like he has been doing very well as the Asst. HC and OC at San Diego State.
Not to deny anything to the legendary Jeff Horton, the only Gopher coach with a 1.000 win pct. against Iowa, but this was actually the following year in Kill's first season. Though, both wins came during the doldrums of otherwise lost seasons!
The Horton victory came on the last game of the 2010 season. I was there, there was snow piled up on the edges of the field, it was bitterly cold. Maybe the best sporting event I've attended in my adult life.

Sid Hartman felt he deserved the job full time after that
