J ROBINSON
Game 353 | November 24, 1987 | J Robinson, Doug Woog
A graduate of Oklahoma State, Robinson was hired to replace legendary Gopher wrestling coach Wally Johnson for the 1986-'87 season. In just his third season he led the Gophers to a second-place finish in the Big Ten championships, their best finish in seven years. In Woog's third season the team returned to the Frozen Four where they lost to St. Lawrence and Maine. Robb Stauber was outstanding in the nets, winning the 1988 Hobey Baker Award. Jay Cates, Paul Broten, Randy Skarda, Peter Hankinson and Todd Richards were the team's leading scorers.
Game 731 | March 10, 2009 | J Robinson, John Anderson
Robinson, Gopher head wrestling coach for 23 years, kept his team in the top ten in the country every year from 1997-2008. Anderson, entering his 28th season as head Gopher baseball coach, talked about improving prospects for a new, on campus, stadium and his team provided him with his 1,000th victory two months later.
