from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinkytown Stories regarding the origin of the name include * The trollies, called Dinkys, that used to provide transit throughout the area. * Similarly, the tenders at the nearby railyard were called Dinkys * The theatre in Dinkytown had only four rows of seats, and for years was known as "The Dinky" * It's a small town-like area, with everything within walking distance. * A prominent building at the main intersection has the name of an early owner carved in stone over the doorway: "grodnik," meaning a small (or dinky) town.

I currently live in Dinkytown. Sororities and Fraternities are not owned by the University. Sorry for perpetuating the off topic convo.

The areas in pink are considered campus. http://www1.umn.edu/twincities/maps/mpls.jpg

The riot was not on campus. The main damage was in Dinkytown and Stadium Village which are not on campus, and most of the damage reported by the University to its actual property were parking facilities.

Pansies...but when a forty something linesman pushes one of your players, it is unacceptable and the ref should be suspended. This sounds like a gopher fan complaining about Finley. You guys aren't so different from the citiots in Minneapolis.

I don't see many goofy fans that are claiming a moral victory or taking solace in the one point...talk about spinning. Anyway, it is good to see some objective fans over here, they are lacking most other places on the net.

This is getting spun by both sides.

Then I suppose the little tap I got coming out of the Ralph this season was too. You need to have thick skin and let things like that go. You always come out looking better than the person being an ass when you ignore them.

I guess my glasses were extra tinted tonight.

Yes.

Good point.

Good point.

I'm sure it happens more than you'd think...Hak just got caught. I couldn't care less about it...I think both sides mostly feel the same.

Absolutely, what is he supposed to do, let him jump back into the scrum and go to the box on his own terms? Flynn took at shot in the face from one of the linesmen when he was getting pulled off someone...big deal. I'll bet Malone never even thought anything about it.

What about Frattin not dropping the stick...what is he Tim "Dr. Hook" McCracken?

Looks like Malone tripped. Anyway, the linesman was trying to restrain him from jumping back in the scrum...Malone was struggling against him the whole time. I'm surprised there is an uproar about Oshie getting slammed against the boards by the linesman at the end of the game. I would be more worried about that, given he has a future career as opposed to most of the other players on the ice for both teams.

You always talk about Gopher fans complaining when their players get hit/touched...but when the linesman breaks up a fight it is Oh my gosh, he roughed up Malone!

Malone is one hell of an athlete, I don't think the linesman is going to do much damage to him.

And you guys have been calling Gophers p***ys.

Absolutely...but I just don't understand why Gophers sweeping is so far fetched after this weekend. Especially when there where so many people predicting a 4-1, 5-2, etc routing before Saturday's game.

I'm going to pistol whip the next person on either side that says "class".

Didn't the Sioux come pretty close to getting swept by the Gophers this weekend...and vice versa?

Cops can't get you out of a civil suit...in this sue happy society anything can happen, even when people are provoked. Having a big mouth can get you in trouble...it is not a virtue, but this is only my opinion so I wouldn't put much stock in it.
