    That is quite possibly the worst analogy I've ever read.

        More of a terrible analogy than a loose one actually.

        Whether or not a Gopher fan started this place is irrelevant. This website was created to be a national college hockey website, so the fanbase of those who created it does not matter. This was not and never was GopherPuckLive or SiouxSports, so making fun of one particular fanbase is in no way impolite. If a Michigan, Wisconsin or Maine fan started this website would you care when people made fun of the Wolverines, Badgers or Black Bears?

          I think the analogy is fine. You just don't agree with the point I'm making. The site was started by a Gopher fan, so I think complaining about the fact that Gopher fans post here is a little out of line.

            Seriously, genius. Your last post doesn't say that. In fact, it is still on the same page. In response to Dirty's sarcasm that we should all be sucking up to Gophers, you compared this place to going into a Gopher fan's home and ragging on his family.

            This place is in no way a Gopher fan's home. Your colors are not blue and white, for starters, and despite your best efforts, the site is pretty indifferent overall to the Gophers.

            If you're going to use a "website=place analogy", this is a public beach where the park attached to it was designed by a Gopher fan. If I want to call the Gophers scum sucking demons from hell on a public beach, you're going to have to suck it up and deal with it, or move your towel and umbrella somewhere else.

              To be fair, I believe that the complaints are only regarding certain Gopher fans (ahem), not all Gopher fans.

                Again, not saying that the metrics point to UND being heavy favorites, but the fans and media's perception seems to be that they are. So, don't be surprised to see the media make a big deal out of Western win should they pull off the upset.
                LOL at nobody picking Union as well as one guy picking Cornell.

Both teams had been number one for large stretches of that season and both were loaded with talent. To be honest, they were the only team that I didn't want to see in the FF, even though they hadn't beaten the Badgers when we had Elliot.
                I seem to remember BC and Cornell going toe to toe with the almighty Badgers...both times in your backyard. Didn't win, but certainly went toe to toe in hostile environments.

I miss back when Gopher fans had fun things to say, and were fun to banter back and forth with. Now it is just "you suck, we're the best...blah blah blah..."

                  Of course, there are far fewer Sioux fans that post on here anymore either, so perhaps that has something to do with it too. Either way...this thread sucks...

                  There is plenty of credit... I mean blame to go around for this thread sucking. Enough on both the Gopher and whioux side. But that being said let's agree to just blame Gurt. He's the only one blatently trolling with no vested interest in the region. All in favor?

                      Plus the Whioux have been marketing how short handed they are all year so that they can have an excuse. Of course, reality is somewhat different than that.
                      Maybe most of us are more realistic than the average Gopher fan. I thought last year's team was the best in college hockey. I thought they were rightfully favored to win it all. Of course, it's hockey. Better yet, it's one and done hockey, so anything can happen.

                        I was referring to going into the NCAAs and the context of the Gophers losing that first Friday night. Going into the tourney, neither Cornell or BC were seen as sure contenders.

                        I've said elsewhere that Cornell gave us a heck of a time - easily our biggest challenge.

                        I recently re-watched the game against BC and I wouldn't say that BC went "toe to toe" with us other than on the scoreboard. The chances were heavily in favor of the Badgers and the game could have easily been a 5-1 affair. That said, it wasn't and BC had a chance at the end.

                          How do you even know this? Why would you even care?

                          Is there an Accomplishments by Minnesotans in Hockey handbook or something?

                            Unfair! I have interest. It's just hater/negative interest.

                              There is. However, JDubbs Copy is quite worn out, and most of the pages are stuck together.

                                Hate the player, not the game! Besides I was just attempting to through something out there to unite this thread give it a chance to suck a little less. Sorry Dubbs, but looks like it may shift to you instead of Gurt. I tried.
