Since Stan Kostka comes from a little farm near South St. Paul, the stockyard centre of Minnesota, and has two brothers working in the stockyards, he has a natural claim to "Hook 'Em Cow" loyalty. He scored none of Minnesota's five touchdowns against Chicago last week, but his runs, swift and swaying like a cowboy, and his bowling-ball interference helped make them possible.
