I also live in Minnesota, close to the Twin Cities, and hate the gophers, not just in hockey, but in all sports. I loved watching Indiana....yes, Indiana whoop up on their football team recently. You may ask, "why do you hate minnesota so bad? you must be jealous." Actually, I didn't mind the gophers when I was far away from the twin cities, but seeing how absolutely arrogant the fans are in person, I hate them. What do their fans have to be arrogant about? I am not sure, but that is the main reason for my hatred. (Nice football and basketball stadiums, when Mariucci is your nicest facility, you know you are in trouble.) M -I-N-N-E..........
