Re: Northern Michigan University 2018 Offseason Thread: In Memory of Goofus

I believe it looks something like this. No dates yet.

Home: LSSU, Tech, UAA, Bemidji, Ferris, Bowling Green, Minnesota St, Cornell

Away: UAA, UAF, UAH, Tech, LSSU, Bemidji, Bowling Green, St Cloud, Michigan State

BG, UAH, and MSU look promising.

I need to get some NMU shirts and stuff. All my old shirts shrunk.

Will try to get tickets to Cornell and Tech at home, and then down I-96 to see the Cats at Munn.

Just read the nice story in the Mining Journal.

I last chatted with him around 1990, but if I recall correctly he attended Michigan State and was a cheerleader there. If anyone who knew him better can confirm or correct, it would be appreciated.

Confirmed. As we gathered to celebrate his memory yesterday, the story was related of how, at the CCHA Tourney at Joe Louis Arena, NMU & MSU were playing in different games and how he had the full set of gear for both!

Why would an NMU fan support MSU at a pep rally? Unless I'm missing something...

I believe Goofus liked Sparty too.

I’m hopeful NMU and MSU play two series next year.

Any idea on next year's schedule?

I'm very sad to hear of this. I met him back in 1992 at the regional in Providence, when he was supporting Michigan State. From my write up:


I was later told he went by Goofus, but back then his real name was apparently a mystery. He was one of a kind.

I used to see him at the Joe when the Cats played in the GLI, and I think at a NCAA playoff game. Last time I saw him was at a Miami of Ohio game in Oxford, some years ago. Nice guy, great fan. Prayers to him and his family.

Anyone think this is a hasty move? Very good raise after only one season, but glad you might've found the one.

No. Good move.

Leaving the door open for other teams that come knocking apparently wasn’t a risk NMU want to expose themselves to. The salary now puts him #2 in the WCHA and is competitive with the NCHC and most programs outside the Big Ten and some of the top Hockey East schools.

Thank you for sharing this. I wasn't there and do not know. But sounds like a great fan.

Sorry for your loss NMU fans.
