“UNION COLLEGE? Where the hell is THAT?”

The game was at the X -- not sure 3M at Mariucci has jurisdiction over that or not (sarcasm). The culprits, I'm sure, know who they are to this day. An absolute junker of a car parked next to my truck and when the driver and passengers exited the vehicle, it was 4 on 1. I said nothing and walked on, listening to "let's kick his a**," "Sioux f*&$ing suck," and other color commentary as I did so. It dawned on me that I should probably go back and move my truck, something that to this day, I regret not doing. My truck was keyed from front panel to back panel and when they backed out of their parking space, it would appear that my back quarter panel was intentionally rammed in order to do some more damage. The car in question was probably worth $500. I didn't mention the two times I was challenged to "meet me outside" following a Gopher win at the X or the time when my then-11 year old son was poked in the chest by an adult Gopher fan who proceeded to inform him that "the Sioux f*^$ing suck!" Before I could even bolt after this bozo, I was grabbed by the arm by one of St Paul's finest and told to, "let it go...you know how they get when they lose." I actually chuckled and said, "you're, right, thank you." Now, to contrast that, I will forever be grateful to the Gopher fan who sold me her 2001 regional tickets at face value outside of Mariucci Arena. When I told her that other scalpers were gouging Sioux fans all over, she said she just wanted some fans to go enjoy their team play and to get her money back. I told her I appreciated her not taking advantage of me (given that there were 4,000 empty seats inside the arena, there was no reason to be asking for 200% of face value) and that I would always remember her kindness when the topic of bad Gopher fans came up. Believe me, I had to grit my teeth upon examining my truck after that Sioux win at the X some years later, but you cannot let the actions of a few idiots speak for the greater whole.

I aee you read my stuff...

Niiiiiiiice. Any comments?

You're telling me Gopher fans are complaining about the lack of North Dakota fans in Las Vegas? I suppose many of them couldn't make the trip because they were out too late on Friday night "rowing the boat" over at TCF...

Mods, ban this heretic.

That was my luxury car...

Well, to be fair, they were excited when they won the national championship over North Dakota in the .6 game. You remember, back when NCAA titles were handed out after the semi-finals...

It’s a shame the writer didn’t ask me about the Gopher fans who caused $3K worth of damage to my brand-new Ford Escape at the 2012 or 2013 Final Five...

The “Oregon of college hockey?” Heaven help us all.

And some fans here wanted THIS in the NCHC.

Actually, you did not say some things need to change at all. You posed the question, that’s it.

ESPN Classic gfhockey right there.

Goldy’s Locker Room at the Mall of America already selling purple .4 t-shirts...

I was just gonna say that!

I was told that the %gobc would not complain for 10 years after Berry won the title in 2016...now it’s, “Fire Beery. Sample questone?”

I believe this year’s top line will be known as the WTF?.

It's only 3 games into the season... Remain calm and please disperse...

Can’t unsee it now though...

I guess an announced sellout crowd with hundreds or even thousands of enpty seats is only a problem in Minneapolis...

Well, you can sit on your phone and Snapchat and Instagram to your heart’s content anywhere for free...why pay to go to a hockey game instead?
