Was looking to see what the reaction was on TCF selling beer and in the thread there was this clown who said he had been living I guess in
Mpls for the past two months and he see's nobody wearing Gopher gear, but alot of Becky gear. LOL....:clap:
 

I don't exactly know the reason why, but I can say with extreme confidence that I have seen a lot more people wearing Gopher gear the past 1-2 years than I ever did in my first 12-13 years living here. Idiot is trolling and/or clueless. He probably socializes with a lot of fellow Becky fans, and shockingly, they all wear Becky gear, to which I say "duh".

Ruppert... I'm glad you're wearing your Gopher attire out in public now. You've come a long way.

That's probably true. They're called alcoholic delusions.

And it did not matter that it was a buck.
 




That's interesting, because I've lived in the Twin Cities for a long time. I see people in Gopher T-shirts or Gopher caps every day. Only very rarely do I see someone wearing Badger gear.

See, that's just false, because the only place I know of that would charge money to have sex with a dead animal would be Wisconsin. God knows the demand is much greater then the supply across the border....
 




While I highly doubt there is more Badger Red in MPLS than Gopher Gold, I do see it up there (Along with lots of Iowa and UND) when I go up. Lots of Wisconsin kids who go to UofM seem to retain their Badger fandom for whatever reason. I feel like I run into them nearly every time I'm out at a bar or restaurant around Dinkytown. Now not to sound overly snobby, but on the contrary, I truly almost never see any Minnesota gear in Madison- very rare. The ones I usually see down here are shirts from Berkley and Michigan. Lots of grad student exchange between these 3 schools. I swear 2/3 of my professors and TA's in school were Michigan grads. Lots of Boston/UMass stuff from "coastie" students as well. Now, during the week that the Packers play the Vikings...that's a WHOLE different story. It seems like EVERY Minnesota kid who goes to school in Madison pops out their purple jersey and wears it. When Favre got picked up by the Vikings it was unreal. Purple #4 jerseys everywhere on campus!
 

yawn. morningclambecky = clueless like the rest of the knobs over here from beckyville. that is all. close this stupid thread, please. thanks.
 

May I ask where all the talk of Wisconsinites and dead deer comes from? As a Wisconsinite who attended the U, it's hilarious to me that people from both states think they're much different at all from those on the other side of the river. I get that it's a joke and it's fun to rip on Badger fans, but the dead deer thing is just dumb.

Back to the topic, though, because the Twin Cities are part of one of the largest metros in the Midwest, of course there are going to be people living there who attended UND, NDSU, Iowa, ISU, Becky, etc. Those people flock to the area for a reason (i.e. it's awesome). But the notion that there's even a question as to who the preferred team in the area is...well that's dumber than the dead deer thing.

It's because a Wisconsin man actually had sex with a dead dear. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,260242,00.html
 

I always love the becky fan or pigeye fan that lives in MINNESOTA, but has to tell us how great wisc. or ioweee is. Let me ask you this. If you love those frickin states so much, why do you choose to live in Minnesota.
 


To be fair, the line between MN and WI is incredibly blurry up that way. I have friends who are native Duluthians (? correct term) and I don't know if I've been to more than one bar that was in Minnesota. We always took the bridge over to Superior to party.
 

The only thing I don't like about WI is SODA. IT'S F*CKING POP!

I went to a small D3 state school in wisconsin, native Minnesotan.

Honestly, there is a difference in the culture and people.
IMO it has to do with the alcohol culture and the packers, both breed more Carl Gerbschmidt types than most respectable WI natives care to admit to.

Case in point, here we have several badger trolls trying to convince people of their teams' superiority on a rival fans message board.

I have several freinds who are from WI, I live on the border and enjoy an occasional jaunt on to the wrong side of the river, but insufferable pukes like the ones visiting our site the past few days make up a well represented living stereotype in dairyland USA.

QUOTE]

There have been a few incidents in recent years or Wisconsinites getting arrested for having sex with deer. I dont have the time to look up the articles, but they have happened. I remember the story of one of the guys who was on probation for it was actually escorted out of a county fair for staring at the rear end of a cow and making weird noises. These stories do not paint a good picture for the people of that state.

And to the comment about no Gopher gear in Madison. Why would there be? The reason you see Badger gear here, is because when they graduate they come here for jobs. I can not think of a single person that went to the U and then moved to Madison or Milwaukee for a job. It rarely happens.

Another early entry for ridiculous post of the year.

I'm sure the lack of MN gear in MADISON has nothing to do with the fact that there are hardly any corporations in Madison. How many places in Madison can you make six figures?

Conversely, OF COURSE there are going to be a lot of Badger fans living in MSP. There's no place in Wisky to make any money. If a Wisky grad wants to make any amount of money and live close to home, they have to work in MSP.

Tell me you can't be this stupid....
 

I've lived and worked in IA, WI and MN, and I have to say the Iowa people were more obnoxious than the WI people when I said I was a Gopher fan.

But, as far as wearing your team colors in enemy territory, I have a theory.

I think, as a rule, MN fans tend to be a little less confrontational. They don't wear their Gopher gear because they know they'll get hassled, and they're trying to avoid a confrontation. (at least if they're on their own - if it's a group of fans, then the "strength in numbers" rule goes into effect.) On the other hand, my impression is that WI fans (and IA fans) are a little more "out there" in their fandom, so they are more willing to fly the colors on the other team's turf - because they don't care, or they secretly hope to start a confrontation. It's an "In Your Face" kind of thing.

YESSS! These people bug me to no end. I think the WORST are the packer fans that live in Minnesota.
