[quote Larry72]That part of the experience was quite surreal. As were the marble floors, skating cheerleaders and the rivalry with UMinn, even though GF is right on the border with Mn.[/quote]Yes, but aren't a lot, if not most, rivalries with your next door neighbor? UM-OSU, Ok-Tx, UNC-Duke, etc. ?

Why just limit it to sports? Germany-France, India-Pakistan?

The Germans don't consider that a rivalry. Hell, the French aren't even competitive ::whistle::.

I think his point is that people so close to the Minnesota border might be Gopher fans, like South Jersey residents rooting for the Eagles instead of the Giants, but I think he's got it wrong in this case. Because the ND team is the one on the Minnesota border, everyone on the ND side (and possibly the Minnesotans near Grand Forks) is going to hate UM and a rivalry is born.

Sept. 9th...the last time the OP commented in this thread, yet we go on and on. Anyone know why? Are we really that pathetic? Are we just dying to talk about anything related to CU Hockey?...or, what???

And there's one thing you're missing... this will be early January. It's likely to be freezing and icy or snowy. Not a lovely early September day.[/quote]

Freezing? Icy? Snowy? Where is the problem?

The guy said he went to NORTH DAKOTA. All of North Dakota is north of the most northern point in New York, I think he has seen weather worse than Ithaca.[/quote]While this is true, North Dakota is incredibly flat. I'm sure they know how to drive in snow, but do they know how to walk up icy hills? Not necessarily. :-D

Just because the team claims to represent an entire state doesn't make it so.

What Phil Collins tune do they play?

In the air tonight, and they don't even come out on the ice at the drum solo. It actually got me anti-pumped up about the game.
