Athletics at the University
had been primarily intramural
before this football team
took the gridiron in 1890.
The team above hammered
the University of Missouri,
28-0, on Thanksgiving Day,
lending a sense of pride
to the team and its fans.
The team was originally
known as the "Pikers," in
honor of the midway criers
of the 1904 world's Fair.
Through the 2001 season,
the football team has compiled
a 428-421-27 all-time record.
The 2002 Bears will host
their season-opener at 4
p.m. Sept. 7 against Simpson
College at Francis Field.
