A vast majority turned their attitudes after winning their first title. UND, MN, MI, BC fans....even WI fans have "earned" the right to be a bit arrogant. tUMD has not.

Can't say I've ever interacted with Duluth fans but from your perspective as a Gopher fan, they have certainly had the upperhand nationally in recent years. A more recent national title and now their 3rd national title game in what, 7 years? In that time the Gophers have been in only one.

Come on now J.D., we all know Gopher fans waited until 2002 to start acting arrogant and entitled. B.C. surely wasn't known for a-hole fans until at least 2010! Heck, us North Dakota faithful are still saints despite our superior success. Maybe if Duluth wins the next 10 titles, then they will have earned their status. But until then: grumble, grumble, grumble!! :p:D:D

And modest saints at that! :rolleyes: Keep missing the tournament, as we did this year, and modesty will return in due course. ;)

As a group, our biggest weakness is probably how modest we are. The weight of the halo is the burden that we bear for all our banners. :p:D:D

But let's get back to Minnesota fans ripping on Duluth fans for acting like Minnesota fans. :p:D:D
 
Re: St. Paul Frozen Four 2018: ND, UMD, OSU, MI

I'll know it's true when I can walk through the Ralph and not get an elbow bump from the modest Hawk fans. Maybe the gophers will get a new coach surge next year like UND got in 2016.

Back to the thread - Notre Dame is on some kind of holy prophecy run. Winning games in the last minute/seconds, seems like a team of destiny this year.

That's when the producer obviously told him to just look at the monitor, since he had apparently been staring off into space instead of watching it. Or the game.

Was talking with a couple others, and they said there was ONE decent tUMD fan they met. I asked, "Biddy?" "Yeah, that's the one." That's how bad your fanbase has acted in attitude. /truestory

Sad. :(

Wasn't aware Dogs fan had that reputation. Reputation for hard drinking, sure.

Yesterday was all a mess for me.

1) forgot to DVR the game
2) remembered while at work. Luckily could go through Dish Network website and set it to record
3) ran some errands and didn't rush to get home, so, of course
4) DVR didn't tape it, but
5) set DVR to tape the replay at 11:00 and would watch tonight
6) avoid finding out the result until then, so of course that means
7) found out the result maybe 5 minutes after getting into work.

Bah.

They were really cool.....until they won the title. It was a complete 180, and quite amazing how they flipped. They started putting themselves into the elite school category. They did NOT slow their roll in that department. F*ing annoying as hell, overall.

I was doing a little research, and it surprised me that in 71 NCAA Tournaments, the previous season's runner-up has made it back to the National Championship Game 14 times (20% of the time). Those teams are 10-4 in their subsequent championship game appearance.

I was also surprised, to a lesser extent, to see just how good Minnesota Duluth has been this decade. The Bulldogs are in their 3rd title game and have won 13 NCAA Tournament games this decade...both of which are more than any other program in the country. If they win on Saturday, they'll tie BC for the most national titles in the decade. Scott Sandelin's squad is certainly making its case for "Program of the Decade." Kudos.

Not too shabby!

My criticism for Melrose is that unlike Starman and Bucci, he doesn't seem to keep up with college hockey until right before he has to call an NCAA game. I'm guessing his first words when flying into MSP were "Now who is in the frozen four this year?"... I'm not sure if he uttered this before or after he had to peel his greasy mudflap from the airplane seat headrest. Jokes on him though for us NoDak fans, he can't jinx UND when they aren't even in the tourney. Ha ha, suck it Barry.

Hanging with UNH fans, and a couple SLU fans. Did a pub crawl today, and they love our beer scene. Also, the UNH fans really truly realized that when MN talks about the cold climate, we mean it. :D "How can you deal with this year after year?!" :D

To be fair, it's about 20-30 degrees below average for this time of year. And most of us native MNs were walking around in 3-4 layers (shirts/hoodies) and no jacket. Wasn't that bad today.

SLU and Clarkson understand cold.

If Notre Dame is going to pull of more thrilling heroics in the dying moments, they better get it going!
