I love to win, but with the Gophers I HATE to lose. I am 43+ and I feel the same way. So many great games, so many great moments. The rivalry goes beyond the coaches and players to the fan base and even the media on both sides. Quote

Again, all I am saying is it isn't a HUGE rivalry as it once was, its cooled off far too long. To me it has been regulated to just a premier game. Play each other every year and you bet this will become a huge rivalry again You mean like this.. In 2016-17 they played a series in Minneapolis In 2017-18, they’ll play a series in Grand Forks In 2018-19, they'll play a single game in Las Vegas. In 2019-20 and 2021-22, they'll play series in Minneapolis. In 2020-21 and 2022-23, they'll play series in Grand Forks. 5 Quote

St. Paul Sioux Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Midco is apparently working on a deal to get this weekend's games simulcasted in the Twin Cities. Great news if true! Quote

Minnesota is the home team one night, UND is the home team the next night. Quote

geaux_sioux Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 There are a lot of quotes on here that sound like Bison fans talking about UND being beneath them. The gophers will never be beneath us and will always be our biggest rival. 1 Quote

I have gone to the goof games in the Barn (which was Winter Sports Building, 1st 2 years of college), in the Winter Sports Center (which years after I graduated was renamed to Ralph Engelstad Arena), and in the palace the Ralph Engelstad Arena. There was never another team that matched the Minnesota Gophers rivalry with UND. This crowd this weekend will transform those few in doubt, into believers. 4 Quote
