The Cougars defense comes up with a big fumble recovery in the third quarter of today's game at Big Cat Stadium.
Below, the University of Minnesota-Morris Cougars football team is shown celebrating their big upset win over Westminster College (Missouri) today at Big Cat Stadium in front of a huge crowd during the annual CougarFest. Final score: UMM 20, Westminster 14. The Cougars improve to 2-0 on the 2010 season.
The Cougars' defense was outstanding, holding a potent Bluejays offense to only 151 total yards.
At 2-0 the Cougars will go on the road for the next two weeks, before returning home for Homecoming on Oct. 9.

I'm excited to attend this, the West Central Research and Outreach Center's celebration of 100 years of agricultural research - this Friday in Morris
Below is an invitation I received from the Land Stewardship Project, a message I want to share with you.
Land Stewardship Project and sustainable family farmers from across this region have a long and rich relationship with the Center. From Dennis Johnson's career focus on how family, low input and grass based dairy farms can work for farmers and rural communities and now his organic dairy herd to the Alternative Swine Housing Systems Program headed by Dr. Yuzhi Li with an advisory task force of area hog farmers, WCROC has been a leader in sustainable agricultural research and support. And the organic dairy herd and alternative swine systems center happened in significant part because area farmers, LSP and others lead the way in setting the agenda through state appropriations. Most recently, WCROC, with the University of Minnesota Morris, is expanding research and demonstration in the renewable energy area. By being part of their celebration we can voice our appreciation for the past and help ensure the Center?s programs and research efforts continue down a path that supports viable family farms and vibrant rural communities.
The day begins with tours and presentations of the research and demonstration projects starting at 7:30 AM. At 11:30 lunch will be served (you need to preregister and pay-call 320-589-1711 if you want to have lunch.).
The Centennial Program begins at 12:45 and runs till 3:30. It features a panel, "A Path to a Viable Agriculture in 2110" that includes LSP Executive Director George Boody talking about the role of diversity and Jude Capper, an Associate Professor of Animal Science at Washington State University discussing the role of intensive agriculture for our future. We expect a lively and informative debate!

Symposium on Small Towns is underway at the University of Minnesota-Morris
Muriel Krusemark is one of the speakers at a morning forum at the UMM Science Auditorium.
University of Minnesota-Morris Chancellor Jacquie Johnson talks about her unique story relating to small towns.
Here is part of Chancellor Johnson's address to the crowd...
"Rural America understands the importance of partnerships. This event today is the result of the willingness of our urban/rural partners to sing that same song with us.
Right here in Morris we have the Green Prairie Alliance, the research triangle. "move over North Carolina"... that triangle.. WCROC and USDA Soils Lab and UMM. A wonderful braintrust for this area.
We are also beginning partnerships with MNSCU. We partner with Minnesota West Technical and Community College on a Biomass Class.
I've spent most of my life as an urban person. My first experience in a small town was Storm Lake, IA.. at Buena Vista. I learned many things about small towns. One thing is that everyone has a small town story. I am amassing my own on multiple levels."
