Throwback mode: The Peach returns for Gophers-Penn State

Think of it as "SportsCenter" before TV highlights existed: A peach-colored Minneapolis newspaper sports section that delivered over-the-top coverage of Golden Gophers football every Sunday.

Here's Paul Klauda with more on the history behind it. And Sid Hartman weighs in on the meaning of the Peach.

And with a matchup worthy of the days of the Peach, the Star Tribune goes into throwback mode, with a special page in the sports section of Friday's Star Tribune. Pick up any edition of Friday's paper to check it out.
