You know just as well as I do that your fanbase likes to make fun of states/cities more than the average fan...in part because your own programs aren't that good. (hockey excluded) When your team can't beat the other team, you (meaning your fanbase) moves on to attack states such as ND, Iowa, Wisconsin, and especially other Minnesota cities such as Mankato, St. Cloud and Duluth. All I am asking is this: Are these states/cities much different? In the national view, no. I would love to keep the discussion centered on the teams playing without hearing about mullets, snowmoblies, cheese-eating drunks, cornfed Iowa girls, etc. I wish more gopher fans and twin cities folk would agree with me on this one. That said, the gopher fans who post on this forum are pretty decent guys/gals and I enjoy your contributions to the site.
