National Championship: Union vs. Minnesota (Choaches stay out of it!)

Re: National Championship: Union vs. Minnesota (Coaches stay out of it!)

The day before the Gophers defeated Maine for the 2002 championship game I wrote an M in the dust of an upstairs window of my 90 year old hardware store. That M is still there and got a little pat pat from me this morning. Today is a good day to be a Gopher fan.:) Heck, it is a good day to be a Union fan too. You get to play the Gophers!:rolleyes:

Without the sacrifice of the 1st Minnesota, the Confederates would have taken the high ground on Cemetary Hill, and the outcome of Getysburg would have likely been very different. The 1st Minnesota took over 80% casualties while holding off the confederate advance as they were outnumbered 5-to-1. They filled a big hole in the Union's defensive line and held out until reinforcements arrived.

If the Union had lost at Getysburg, there was nothing between Lee's army and Washington DC. Not to mention, with a decisive victory in the North, the Confederates would have likely received the aid from Europe they were lookong for.

So what you're saying is without MN the US would have been rid of the South?

Well then, fuck you MN. Go Union.

Go Gophers, bring your A game or you will not earn #6. This Union team scares me to be honest.

If UMn was in on it, it would have worked.


UMners wrote about space and time travel with Poul Anderson & Gordon Dickson winning more awards in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s until their deaths in 2001, and in 2010 even, in the field of Science Fiction & Fantasy than possibly any other duo out there. I call them a duo because they were classmates at UMn, Dickson got his start collaborating with Anderson, they were friends, and were honored with induction into the Sci-Fi & Fantasy HOF the same year and coincidentally both died the next year.

One of Anderson's Prometheus Awards came in 1985. The previous winner was George Orwell's 1984.
His Prometheus Award in 2010, his 4th overall, was preceded by J.R.R. Tolkien's LOTR in 2009 and Anthony Burger's A Clockwork Orange in 2008 and followed in 2011 by George Orwell's Animal Farm.


UMners invented the gadgets and came up with the ideas behind the gadgets that got us into space, a UMner was the first women into space, UMner Robert Gilruth is called "the Father of America's human space flight program", a UMner was the one who convinced Kennedy to go after the moon, and a UMner is the only scientist IN THE WORLD to have his stuff flown to ALL EIGHT planets and soon to be 9.

We have futurists predicting the future and space flight and exploration and UMners playing the part of Capt of the Starship Enterprise on something called a Television, a gadget we also had a big part in developing. And without the transistor, another little gadget a UMner helped develop, and what is considered to be "the fundamental building block of modern electronic devices" that "revolutionized the electronic industry, and made possible the development of almost every modern electronic device, from telephones to computers to missiles." we might not have a space program.


So yeah, if a UMner was in on the development of a time machine, it would probably work!!!

And we invented Cheerleading, so there is that.


And we won the very first ever intercollegiate hockey game, so why not the last game in intercollegiate hockey history as well? Right!!!

Go Gophers!!!

Hey FDF, at some point even joshing around gets old. Can you **** for a bit?

I can try, at least for a little while, but I haven't started drinking yet. Once the liquor starts flowing, I can't promise you anything. ;)
