1977 Moorhead vs MSU Dual T&F meet
Moorhead dual meet results and writeup. As you can see, Moorhead had an unbelievable winning streak and Chuck Petersen badly wanted to beat them. We would have too, if Joe Roscoe hadn't been suspiciously disqualified after winning the 880 (for running inside the white line, I seem to recall). Nowadays that called "home field advantage."
