    SMSU-UNI Memories, 1990

    SMSU is driving for the win and for the Gateway championship. It's fourth-and-1 down on about the 10 going in. Bears tiny little QB keeps it and tries to penetrate the right side. Casey Smith, an underrated DE in UNI history, stuffs him and precipitates a bench-clearing brawl down in the NE corner of the Dome. Fighting, kicking, biting, scratching, it lasts about seven or eight minutes, but seemed like an eternity. Cap'n Cat, a GA under TA at the time, trying to break up the fight, gets his finger caught in a Bear player's facemask and has his fingernail torn off. It's been deformed ever since.

    UNI won and the crowd..............went.................WILD!!!!!!

    I was about six years old at the time... and I actually remember this brawl!
    "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

      I remember looking back in the stands and seeing you all red-faced, pissed off and wanting to join the fray!

        Rory Fedderson (sp?) made a one armed catch on a fade route from JJ in the endzone for the deciding points. Crazy game!

          Great game. And Casey was 6'6", 235 pounds of all attitude playing that end!! Stud player for the Panthers of the early '90's.

                          This one caught my eye in the list of videos off to the side, too. Is that the guy from the NFL films videos?

                            That has to be him. Harry Calas, right? Pretty sure he passed away within the last year too.
