Probably won't do that, but thanks. What I will do is come back and sign off when I'm through watching. I go to work early so if the game is "over" early I'll pop in and congratulate you if the GGopher's win or say we played one of the best games of our season if the GEagles's win.

Feel free to rip the Gophers if they lose. Everyone else here will be.

To top it off, this is the freaking NiT we're talking about here. Who cares? I can't imagine trolling an opposition fan board over an NIT game. I'll admit that it's been fun though. Good luck.

Trolling over an NIT game? Bah, I trolled the Philippines National Team message board during an exhibition when Miles almost started an international incident. Good times.

I wish there was a better quality video. Clark charging into the pile was classic.

All I can say is that hopefully its all in fun. Minnesotans have been made fun of, have been picked on and ridiculed for decades. We are referred to as the Frozen Tundra, movies like Fargo make it out as if we all talk like that. lol I've lived in Minnesota for around 35 of my 46 years on this earth and I've traveled all over the state and have never met a single person EVER, that sounded like the people on that movie.

But the thing about Minnesotans, and maybe its having to endure such long, cold and harsh winters, but we are BOTH thick skinned, and at the same time we are just so used to people taking shots at us, that we are just coiled and ready to respond in kind if we feel disrespected.

But we are a good natured people, for the most part, of course there are exceptions, but we've produced plenty of comedians, and we CAN laugh at our selves. So the best thing to do is to have fun with the whole smack thing. Deliver some smack with some creativity and imagination and make us laugh, and we will laugh, at ourselves and AT YOU, too. If you can't handle us poking fun of you, then grow thicker skin or don't come around, or say nice things about us and kiss our arses, blow smoke up are arses or something. lol.


P.S. I've lived on the west coast, the east coast, in Germany, AND down south in Louisiana. Fat people are everywhere, ugly people are everywhere, beautiful women are everywhere, intelligent people are everywhere, complete idiots are everywhere, racists are everywhere, black people are everywhere, white people are everywhere, Asian people are everywhere. None of that matters in the big picture. But the night of a college basketball matchup between a school from a northern state and a school from a southern state, there is just WAY TOO MUCH potential for fun and hilarious banter if people on both sides can just keep things in perspective and try to have fun with it.
 

Later guys. 2 mins left and you're up 3 possession (10 and 4 now). Take NYC by storm if you can go - 15 didn't allow our guys to do their unusually usual damage in the paint given our lack of length…..and 20 took advantage of our sucky 3 pt defense.

Good luck in the next two.
 

So here I was, trying to enjoy the hard-fought Gopher win, when suddenly a polar bear breaks into my house, rears up onto its hind legs, and stabs me right in the stomach. Golly, do I wish I lived in Mississippi.

Maybe it is just the beer, but that one cracked me the f up!!!
 

Now that the game is over I think it's time to put all this kidding aside and reach out an olive branch to our friends from the South. Truth be told Mississippi isn't that bad, there are some parts in Northern Mississippi where the people are fairly modern and educated. If I remember right, when you drive through the state by the time you get around St. Louis it's really pretty decent.

In all seriousness, they put up a damn good fight. They either have a great S&C coach, or there is something very powerful in the water.

Wait a second...this state thinks they can give us crap?

"Until February 7, 2013, the state of Mississippi had never submitted the required documentation to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment, meaning it never officially had abolished slavery."

Even more outrageous...until 1966 the state of Mississippi remained under statewide prohibition of alcohol.
 

And, the good news is (based on some pregame quotes), Lil' Dre already has his bags packed for NYC. I was surprised and impressed at the So. Miss. athleticism. Disappointed in the Gophs inability to just drive the stake in the coffin at various points in the game when we are on the cusp of pulling away.

They are a well coached team, and fight like hell. They play to their strengths and get after it. A little more size, and they can make some noise. I'll be paying more attention to them next year. Good game.

When you get around St. Louis, you're in Illinois. Northwestern Mississippi includes Memphis exurbs.

Yeah, they just need to have a more active zone if they're going to play zone. I was amazed when, practically every time Joey caught it in the high post and turned, the D sagged to the low post. It was like shooting fish in a barrel for him.

C'mon, are we really talking about the quality of life in Minnesota vs. Mississippi. Let's break it down:

Minnesota on a good day....freezing your ass off and getting stabbed.

Mississippi on a good day...not freezing your ass off or getting stabbed.

No contest!
Click to expand...

I try to stay out of tribal nonsense like this, but this shows such classic ignorant Southern bias, I just can't help myself.

You're right about the freezing part, but I can assure you that you are very unlikely to get stabbed anywhere in Minnesota outside of a few small rough pockets in the metro. I can also assure you that Minnesota does't have a single city that looks like Greenville or a single small town that looks like the innumerable little pits of desperation scattered across your state.

Oh, yeah, our winters are for the hardy, but I'll take our summers over yours any day.

Well, I don't agree with that. I've lived here 13 years and I've met plenty of them. There's nothing really wrong with that accent, though.

I would much rather live in MN than Miss but a "few small rough pockets"? No, there are a lot of rough pockets in the metro that I would not feel comfortable residing in. Parts of Brooklyn Park, parts of SLP, all of East St. Paul, all of North Mpls, parts of NE mpls, parts of S. Mpls, parts of Richfield, and parts of SW mpls (probably more but you get the hint).

Wow...you must be terrified every time you leave your basement. What is that? Once or twice a month?

Lol. 0/10 try again. I am in LE, I am def not afraid to be in these parts (well maybe some of North Mpls)...however, I would not move my family into the said parts. If you would, maybe you do not care about your family as much as I do about mine.

I agree that there is a regional accent in Minnesota and environs rooted in the Scandinavian and German ancestry of the area. In my experience it tends to be more pronounced in some of the rural areas of the state. It's probably more noticeable to someone like me who no longer lives there. But the accents in the movie Fargo are an exaggeration and do not typify the speech of the vast majority of Minnesotans.
