Highlights and Lowlights

Minnesota was a team I expected would have had a number of titles in the early 20th century. Minnesota was more or less a football powerhouse in the first 30 years or so of the decade, but they were never able to put together wins when it came to Heavyweight Championship games. They've made some noise again lately, but are like a lot of schools struggling to return to the prominence they once knew.
