Yeah they definitely thought it was in the bag. But they were the only ones who did. I met some Boston College fans after the semifinals and they thought the Gophers were going to get destroyed by Union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed that most of the fan base wanted Hak fired after all... this is prob what we deserve. What we deserve? Being passionate about the program is not a sin. I don't think the tweet I was referencing would have been sent by UND's hockey Twitter account. And calling for a coaches head is hardly exclusive to our fan base or this sport (Gopher fans were calling for Lucia's head for years). If you are talking about that insane All Things Fighting Sioux Facebook group, you may have a point. Anyway........F the Gophers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only part of your post that my comment was in response to was the "most insufferable fan base" part. Having a passionate fan base isn't a sin.. agreed. Maybe karma is a better word. A fan base that is unhappy about 7 Frozen Fours in 11 years (i.e. actually wants the coach fired) is, no doubt, insufferable, though. Add to that the nickname voting crap, Sioux Forever, and the people who !@#$ on other UND sports... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that the nickname voting crap, Sioux Forever, and the people who !@#$ on other UND sports... Seven Frozen Fours in 11 years without a single NCAA title was maddening, especially since it happened over and over again. It was like we just kept doing the same things and expected different results. Bad karma is not cashing in when you have the chance, because you never know how many chances you will get. This current stretch we are on now makes all those semifinal losses even harder to swallow. The nickname voting crap was the work of UND's administration, not the fans. The Sioux Forever nonsense is annoying, but I have learned to tune it out. The crapping on other UND sports I agree with you on. I have been fighting that for years. That all being said, none of that compares to the official Gopher Hockey Twitter account taking cheap shots at a school that wasn't even in the tournament this year. Gopher fans are insufferable whether they are winning or losing. Anyway.......F the Gophers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue a slight difference between fan actions and the official team account making the comment. Guessing Motzko wasn't the one to endorse that idea, especially given him and Berry's relationship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodak651 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Are we that soft? The tweet wasn't even that bad... lol. Not even CLOSE to as low as ASU's antics after their win in Vegas! Should have been giving us a heartfelt thanks for the opportunity and instead they rubbed our nose in their one off win. To be honest, I would have been disappointed in the Gophers if they didn't acknowledge the circumstances of their presence in Fargo, which they did in that tweet as a direct response to how we handled the Holy Cross game, as mentioned by mafiaman. It's all we really have these days to keep a little bit of the rivalry going.. Anyone remember when Lucia wanted to put the rivalry on ice because it was too "intense", or whatever it was that he said? Would hate to go back to that mindset... BORING!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
