PLUS THREE FROM PATRICK
Notes from the history of the Minnesota Fighting Pike:
• Art Haege left the Iowa Barnstormers as an assistant to become Pike head coach. He went to one players' tryout and sent a fax to owner Tom Scallen reading: "I'm going back to Iowa.''
• The Pike were winless (0-7) at Target Center.
• Frank Haege, Art's son, served as coach Ray Jauch's defensive coordinator. Frank is now headed into his 10th season as the coach of outdoor football at Augsburg.
