13 of the players came from 2 college teams that hated each other (Boston and Minn), gave it an intensity he wanted getting ready for it I believe.

It also gave them familiarity with one another. I think most of the team was comprised of players from the state of Minnesota. They had played with and against each other their entire lives.

Throw some players in from Boston and Wisconsin, and Brooks built a single team from the best players from only the best four or five college teams in the country.

The team was based on college players from Minnesota, Massachusetts, and Michigan.
