Minnesota rules the world of football

[fredsdeadfriend]

I know that in 1923 they killed an opposing player because he was black.

No, they didn't. Football players die every year you nut job.

UMn, more than any other college in the country, led the civil rights movement.

Minnesota schedules Alabama in the ooc, home and away for 2032 & 2033.

Before that, they have UNC home & away as well as California home & away and Mississippi St home & away. Not sure when the UNC or Cali games were scheduled, but they seem like teams Jerry Kill liked to schedule, P5 programs that are not horrible but also not great. If the Mississippi St games were added under Fleck, along with the games vs Bama, it would seem Fleck is working to toughen up UMn's ooc scheduling.

They targeted the only black guy on the field and stomped on him while he was down.

You were there, you witnessed this? I didn't think so. Again, football is a rough sport, people die playing it every year. Did they target him? If he was the best player on the team, which most reports claim he obviously was, they most likely did, that is what defenses do, dumbsh1t, especially back then when the rules were much less concerned with players safety. Was it because he was black? Only in the minds of nutjob leftists who think anything and everything under the sun is somehow racist and it's always the poc who are the victim and always the white person/people who are the bad guys.

This was ISU's first black player, but UMn had already had several POC in their program for decades already, at least one black player, several native Americans and a Chinese player, too. And the Executive Director of the NAACP from 55-77, basically the most important time during the Civil Rights Movement graduated from the Univ of Minnesota in...

1923. They allowed him to be the Editor of the University Newspaper.

If you read the letter/note he wrote to himself before the game, you could see that he put a ton of pressure on himself to win the game all by himself if need be. He broke his collarbone on the 2nd play of the game and insisted that he was ok and could continue playing, so his death could be argued to be as much his own fault as anyone else's. One recollection is the Minnesota crowd chanting "we're sorry" or something like that when he was carted off the field, so seems they were not hating on him. As for the play in question, he was on defense and fell down or got knocked down in the path of the fullback and he got trampled by the fullback and at least one other player. There is no evidence that this happened on purpose, and AT LEAST one ISU player who witnessed the play said nothing out of the ordinary occurred. Only one ISU player came out claiming it was something out of the ordinary. Your choosing to believe that one person and their extreme interpretation says a lot about you, tbh.

Whatever makes you feel better about pimping a racist institution. I'm just in it to trigger you.

So the B1G West producing 15 AP Top 25 ranked teams compared to the Pac North's only producing 11 since 2014 isn't an honest thing to discuss?

15 > 11

Is that really your argument? Top 25 “rankings” not the actual division. Oregon has made more playoffs than the Big West. Washington actually scored points, Stanford had a dude who nearly won the Heisman. Cal had the number 1 pick. Oregon State and Wazzu are the “bottom” feeders of the North and Oregon State would’ve won the division last year and we would easily win this year.

Washington State University led the country into Title IX > People from Minnesota being in pictures of the Civil Rights Act.

"pimping a racist institution"? lol you crack me up. UMn has been arguably the #1 force in the fight for Civil Rights.

"led the country into Title IX"? Do you have any references to prove this?

"being in pictures"? What does that even mean?

As Democratic whip in the Senate in 1964, Humphrey was instrumental in the passage of the Civil Rights Act that year. He was a lead author of its text, alongside Senate Republican Minority Leader Everett Dirksen of Illinois.[79]

BOTH Humphrey and Dirksen were UMn graduates.

Despite Truman's aides' aggressive pressure to avoid forcing the issue on the Convention floor, Humphrey spoke for the minority plank.[21] In a renowned speech,[55] Humphrey passionately told the Convention, "To those who say, my friends, to those who say that we are rushing this issue of civil rights, I say to them we are 172 years (too) late! To those who say this civil rights program is an infringement on states' rights, I say this: the time has arrived in America for the Democratic Party to get out of the shadow of states' rights and walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights!"[56] Humphrey and his allies succeeded: the convention adopted the pro-civil-rights plank by a vote of 6511/2 to 5821/2

Initially, Humphrey's support of civil rights led to his being ostracized by Southern Democrats, who dominated Senate leadership positions and wanted to punish him for proposing the civil rights platform at the 1948 Convention.

Humphrey became known for his advocacy of liberal causes (such as civil rights, arms control, a nuclear test ban, food stamps, and humanitarian foreign aid)


Dirksen voted in favor of the Civil Rights Acts of 1957,[29] 1960,[30] 1964,[31] and 1968,[32] as well as the 24th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution,[33] the Voting Rights Act of 1965,[34] and the confirmation of Thurgood Marshall to the U.S. Supreme Court.




And the Executive Director of the NAACP was also a UMn grad.

Roy Ottoway Wilkins (August 30, 1901 – September 8, 1981) was a prominent activist in the Civil Rights Movement in the United States from the 1930s to the 1970s.[1][2] Wilkins' most notable role was his leadership of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), in which he held the title of Executive Secretary from 1955 to 1963 and Executive Director from 1964 to 1977.[2] Wilkins was a central figure in many notable marches of the civil rights movement. He made valuable contributions in the world of African-American literature, and his voice was used to further the efforts in the fight for equality. Wilkins' pursuit of social justice also touched the lives of veterans and active service members, through his awards and recognition of exemplary military personnel.


The Big Six—Martin Luther King Jr., James Farmer, John Lewis, A. Philip Randolph, Roy Wilkins and Whitney Young—were the leaders of six prominent civil rights organizations

In his autobiography, Lay Bare the Heart (1985), James Farmer identified the term "Big Six" as having originated with the founding of the Council for United Civil Rights Leadership. He did not include A. Philip Randolph in his list of the "Big Six", instead listing Dorothy Height, president of the National Council of ***** Women as the sixth member of the group. He also noted that the press often referred to the group as the "Big Four", excluding Height and John Lewis, which he attributed to sexism and age bias, respectively.


Seeing as Whitney Young was also a UMn grad, UMners made up fully HALF of the "Big Four"

UMn led the Big Ten/Western Conference into the modern age having Bobby Marshall on their team.

Robert Wells Marshall (March 12, 1880 – August 27, 1958) was an American sportsman. He was best known for playing football; however, Marshall also competed in baseball,[2] track, boxing, ice hockey and wrestling.

When he played baseball for the University of Minnesota, he also played first base for two years, 1904 and 1905, helping the university to win the Western Conference Championship in 1905.[4]

Marshall played end for the football team of the University of Minnesota from 1904 to 1906.




He was the first African American to play football in the Western Conference (later the Big Ten).




He graduated in 1907 and played with Minneapolis pro teams, the Deans and the Marines. From 1920 through 1924, he played in the National Football League with the Rock Island Independents, the Minneapolis Marines, and the Duluth Kelleys.



Along with Fritz Pollard, he was one of the two first African Americans to play in the NFL.

 

[fredsdeadfriend]

Before Bobby Marshall, UMn picked a Native American as it's captain.

Edward Lowell Rogers (April 14, 1876 – October 17, 1971) was an American football player and coach. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1968.[1] Rogers was also elected to the American Indian Athletic Hall of Fame in 1973.

Rogers served as team captain at Minnesota in 1903. The 1903 Minnesota team had an 11–0–1 record. He was named a third-team All-American by Walter Camp in 1903. While at Minnesota Rogers was a member of professional law fraternity Phi Delta Phi.[

Stanford had a dude who nearly won the Heisman. Cal had the number 1 pick.

"nearly" won the Heisman? lol UMn's had half a dozen players "nearly" win the Heisman, never knew that was a thing.

Oregon State and Wazzu are the “bottom” feeders of the North and Oregon State would’ve won the division last year and

There were divisions in the Pac last year and Oregon State did NOT win the North Division last year. So wth are you talking about? More uninformed babble as usual from you?

we would easily win this year.

How do you figure? If by "we" you are referring to WSU, they are 1-2 in conf play and already lost to Oregon and are tied with 5 other teams for 6th in the conf right now and Udub has been ranked higher than WSU so not sure how they'd "easily" win the division this year. WSU should beat Oregon St, but barely getting by both Wisconsin and IDAHO shows that they might not "easily" beat anyone this year. Utah is still ahead as well as the Apple Cup matchup.

I'm sure. I know when I think civil rights the first thing that comes to mind are institutions with a history of killing people of color.

It was an accident you nutjob.

First thing people think about is the school surrounded by cornfields, I'm sure. A school who feels the need to virtue signal how progressive they are by naming their stadium after probably the one and only black guy they had play for them for the first 60 years?


UMn =

FIRST to play a black player in the Western(now B1G) Conference.
FIRST to have a black 1st team All-American Quarterback.
FIRST to have a black alum coach a team to a Super Bowl win.

UMn grads made up HALF of the Civil Right's "Big Four" or 1/3rd of the "Big Six".

UMn grads were the most responsible for the Democrat Party even taking on a civil rights plank(Hubert H Humphrey at 1948 Dem Convention).
UMn grads were the most responsible for the writing up of/drafting and getting the 1964 Civil Rights Act passed.

UMn also had Native Americans and Chinese players way back in the day, and had women playing bb and hockey back in the early 20th Century, too.

UMn had the first mineral named after a woman named after a UMn grad.

UMn produced an alum who was the first woman to make it to outer space(it was called that at the time). Her name was Jean Piccard. So YES, the person/persons(her and her husband) whom the Capt of the Enterprise was named after. On a side note, Capt Janeway was also a UMn grad, too.

Figures, a simple minded neanderthal like you from corn country either can't read or understand anything with any big words in it, or is too lazy to read.

There is this thing out there, an ancient invention, it's called a "book". Have you ever heard of such a thing?

You are too funny, lol.


You have absolutely no evidence to back up that claim, and be warned, my fellow Minnesotans rarely back me up in debates, but this is one that they might just do that.
