Don't believe me?
Say Handy ... have you ever cheered for North Dakota? He'll reply a horrified "NEVER!" ... And I'll say, even that time they beat up on Wisconsin? ... :eek: ;)

I don't know a single Gopher fan that would cheer for North Dakota even if were against Wisconsin. The only case I would ever be caught dead would be if it was required for the Goofs to make the tournament. But even then, I would probably cheer against North Dakota.

This must be fake. dx must've just made up those numbers.

Handy tells me, us, Wisconsin is suffering under the atrocity called "Scott Walker". Surely they, those wonderful beer swilling 'sconnies, would come out to vote to prevent the Walker horror in Trump form from spreading to the rest of us.

People vote against their self interests all the time. Kansas keeps electing Brownback and he bankrupted them and made them a laughingstock. I dont think you little snide comment proves what you think it does.

Want to try again?

You would hear a collective change of "Tie! Tie! Tie! Tie!"

Which self interest is more important to people? It's not necessarily voting against their self interest, rather voting in favor of a different one. At least that's how 95% of voters rationalize their behavior, even if they end up worse off by others' standards.

Agree with this. If there is something negative you can say about Trump it's that he literally is causing people to lose their minds. It's really sad to see.

I am pretty sure we can think ofmore negative things about Trump than that...

Just because you have to live with the fact that you voted for this diarrhea stain doesnt mean we have to accept your mental gymnastics/Stockholm Syndrome.

Name five positive things Trump has done that haven't been thrown out in court.

I have never cheered for North Dakota...if they play Wisconsin I cheer for the refs. Same is true when Iowa plays WI in football...

My hatred of teams is absolute...the best it gets is I wont actively cheer against a team if their winning helps the Gophers.

You need to stop trying...it is becoming way to easy to make you look like a fool :D

Hey if they want to live in in that kind of situation that is fine by me. Same with WI...the worse their economy gets the better it is for Minnesota. They can re-elect Walker every election for all I care :)

Snide? Dang. I was going for snarky.

I'll pass on trying again for now. Surely I'll load up on snark over the weekend and try again later. :)

When say Minnesota plays BC I cheer for the ice, the boards, the glass, the pipes, the nets ... :D

I told someone one time that if Satan himself came out in the "big pads" and stood in the paint and five Hell-sent demons lined up in front of him facing off against the Gophers, I'd risk my eternal soul and cheer for Team Beelzebub.
