Winona Beats Gophers: That headline might conjure thoughts of a certain beleaguered actress committing animal abuse. Minnesota fans would probably prefer that to the outcome of last night’s exhibition game against Winona State — an embarrassing 69-64 defeat. Winona State is the defending Division II championship squad, and the team returns four starters while the Gophers are young and inexperienced. But Division I teams — and especially their fans and boosters — never want to lose to a lower-division program. Minnesota struggled in the paint, letting the Warriors win the rebounding battle 40-27. In addition to losing the game, Minnesota fans allowed the Winona State fans to fill the Gophers’ arena. About half of the 10,000-plus fans were in a Warrior frenzy from start to finish. [11/09/06]

The Seven C’s of Leadership
Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
