3rd Annual Game Watch with University of Michigan Club of Dallas
On the last Saturday in October of 2007, just days before the witching eve of All Hallows’ Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween), Golden Gophers ten strong from the North Texas Chapter formed a contingent at the Fox and Hound in North Dallas. The objective: To return the Little Brown Jug to the University of Minnesota.
As ever so aptly reported on Gophersports.com (http://www.gophersports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=8400&ATCLID=1290662),  | | No, not the Maize and Blue "M"! |
Minnesota jumped out to a 10-0 lead after a 29-yard field goal by Joel Monroe in the first quarter, and a 41-yard fumble returned for a touchdown by Dom Barber in the second quarter at the 14:48 mark.
The Golden Gophers led 10-6 late in the second quarter, until Brandon Minor scored on a 2-yard touchdown run to give Michigan its first lead of the game, 13-10, with three minutes remaining in the first half.
Unfortunately for the University of Minnesota, the final score was 34-10 in favor of Michigan. The Little Brown Jug stays at Michigan another year. Congratulations to the Wolverines!!
As President of the North Texas Chapter, I would like to congratulate and welcome three new people to the North Texas Chapter Board of Directors. As many of you know, we  | | Not a Texas Tech waitress after last year's bowl! |

I would be remiss in not mentioning and especially thanking our sponsor for this event – The University of Minnesota Alumni Association (http://www.alumni.umn.edu/UMAA_Home.html). Mark Allen - National Chapter Program Director does an excellent job in helping us make sure that we have what I call “Gopherabilia” for our events. Mark was able to get us two very appropriate and coveted items for this event in support of our raffle.
