Minnesota @ Wisconsin: Secondary Rivalry, Just As Much Hatred

Re: Minnesota @ Wisconsin: Secondary Rivalry, Just As Much Hatred

This little anecdote about the gophers. Mostly true.

Years ago, I took my wife, who is from non-hockey country and has no interest in the game, to dinner at a GF restaurant. While we were eating, the entire gopher hockey team came in and sat close by. I pointed them out to her, and I have to confess that I expressed my admiration and respect for the fact that the team was made up entirely of Minnesota kids. She commented on how small they were but good looking, in a kind of feminine way. I explained it has always been that way--the gophers have good looking players and ugly fans, while the Sioux and Badgers have ugly players and good looking fans. She thought that made sense. I've always thought that might be the source of some of the tension that exists among the three groups.

Anyone else sick of the constant history lessons by Gopher fans?

Problem solved.

Did you guys know that Herb Brooks coached the Miracle on Ice! He was a Gopher! And Coached them too!

Sure did. Did you know that has nothing to do with the ongoing argument, and that it is your boy G-Spot that is trying to give us the history lesson on our program?

Tell him not to bring the topic up again unless he has something concrete to support his ridiculous, asinine claims (which will be impossible by the way) and you won't see this discussion anymore

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Just think how bad Badger hockey would have been without Minnesotans.

Why would we have to think about that? When they make it illegal for us to recruit Minnesota then I'll think about it.

Actually, I've been told I'm quite good looking.

Must be a Sioux or Badger fan in your tree somewhere.

Well...a Sioux fan for a neighbor and a Badger fan for a friend. Is that close enough?

While you may win, just remember you sconnies will still be paint thinner drinking, deer humping red necks and nothing will change that.

You don't have to, "Defend our honor, sir" each and every time someone even remotely takes a jab. I appreciate your Gopher support but for the love of Parise understand that Gurt and Burd are worthless when it comes to discussing the Gophers so why do you even bother?

Between the two of them there just might be enough exposure to get you above the butt-ugly mark. That gopher trait is pretty hard to overcome, though.

Never said I had to. I wanted to because he annoys the crap out of me. However, out of respect for you guys, I am trying to drop it
