Come on man! Its a University of Minnesota branch. How can you not be 100% on board?

The attitude of the majority of their fans after they won the first title. Which carried on for the next 5 years.

I know. I fully expect the Gophers to raise a banner next season and start counting the Bulldogs' titles as their own.

I guess on the plus side, it gives the "State of Hockey" their seventh national championship, moving it into fifth place for states with the most national championships.

I didn't want to say it, but since you did, this is exactly what I was thinking. Why are we surprised that there are Gopher fans trying to take partial credit for this?

Don't be bitter. You're program also exists thanks to the state of Minnesota.

We're just celebrating. Its the U of M. I thought that would be clear.

Those Gopher fans are nuts. Most Gopher fans weren't even cheering for tUMD. They were, grudgingly, rooting for the C3P0s. Had some east coasters visiting, various schools, and they were utterly confused at the non-fandom of tUMD in the state.

Would you propose that all the Gopher jerseys at the game were worn by UMD fans? I guess anything is possible.

Man, Gopher fans are taking tonight's game pretty rough.

This whole urge to take personal ownership of the success of someone else's kids is so strange. I'm not dissing you, 5mn.

...which is why I was the first one on the site to congratulate the Bulldogs.

tUMD fans would never wear a Gopher jersey. Not a single Gopher fan we ran into today on our pub crawl (had about 12-15 people) met a Gopher fan rooting for tUMD. The fanbase is just that intolerable because they won ONE title. Honestly. That's it. They are not elite yet. Some good runs, sure, but not a blue-blood school. Yes, that is tArrogance talking, and it's justified.

I'm not sure where this personal ownership stuff is coming from. I'm just really pleased that they won an NC...and that's the case because they are geographic neighbors, full of Minnesotans and part of the U of M system. Its really not more complicated than that.
