A little Mudra-related heartbreak...
Seriously though, he built a strong foundation for what we became. RIP Dr Victory.Comment

My first UNI games were when Mudra took over. What a class guy with great teams. He knew the value of the "W".Comment

Stan Sheriff got the dome built (and coached for records like our current seasons), but Dr. Victory changed our goals and expectations. I still remember some of those playoff games. He may be why I have had season tickets all these years. He got fired at FL State, but left the players for Bobby Bowden to come in and win. He also tried to engineer an elevation of Terry Allen to be his successor, but the admin saw that Earle Bruce was available. An innovator. Iconoclastic. Made players accountable for themselves. We were lucky Stan new him and got him.

Wow. God bless YouTube. I was a baby for that one. It's a game my parents have talked about for as long as I can remember.Originally posted by BCPanther View Post"...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."Comment

200 wins against only 81 losses for his coaching career. He earned the title "Dr. Victory."

I honestly didn't know of this guy-I was living in my home state of Minnesota during this time-but I do think there's someone on here with a moniker known as Mudra-something, right?
Couldn't help but notice this comment below: "Do you notice how small the players were 30 years ago?" Those were the years that I was playing football in college, and, although a running back, I was converted into a defensive tackle, due to the coaches' philosophy of using fast, bull-rushing defensive tackles, at a mighty size of 230 pounds. With that said, I can't think of many offensive tackles that I faced who were much bigger than 275. That's a quarterback today!Last edited by A Fan In Lean Years; 09-25-2022, 11:35 AM.Comment
