Chart: The Gophers and their pregame gigs

Flip Saunders: The "ringleader" initiated every drill. Said he would've reinstituted the routine had he taken the U job a few years ago.

George Schauer: Could juggle four basketballs or spin them on his fingers while doing tricks. Continues to perform his act.

Osborne Lockhart: An excellent soccer player, he performed tricks with his feet. Later became a member of the Harlem Globetrotters.

Mike Monson: The unicycle juggler was a former member of the pep band. He didn't play a minute in his one season with the team.

Pregame playlist (as recounted by Flip Saunders): 1. "2001: A Space Odyssey," the movie theme song; 2. "Keep the Ball Rollin' " by Jay and the Techniques; 3. "Sweet Georgia Brown," the theme song for the Harlem Globetrotters; 4. "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & His Comets; 5. "I Want to Take You Higher" by Sly and the Family Stone
