I don't see anything surprising here. Everyone knows that fans like to support winning teams.
Yeah that is disgusting. I think we would have given our fellow students a hard time for wearing that lame candy ass **** back when we were students.
Don't think we don't..I know last year when I was in the dorms/dining hall we would openly give people crap sitting near us if they were wearing Badger or Iowa stuff. Not dropping f-bombs on them but we would call them out on it and ask them why they would commit such an atrocity on campus. Last year I gave a girl from Iowa an old Gopher shirt at a party the night we lost to them because I felt bad for people harassing her for wearing hers (and they say chivalry is dead..). If she was wearing Badger gear she wouldn't have even made it through the front door.
I wear Gophers stuff all the time and I go to UMD

What would happen in College Station if there was someone in burnt orange on campus?
I'm a die hard Gophers fan but the Gophers will always be #2 in hockeyoh now that is just crossing the line...
I think it's a little different if you don't have a D1 football or basketball team.

When ever, where ever I come across someone wearing a sweatshirt, t shirt, hat with the colors of that team from down south, or out east the first thing I say is Excuse Me. Did you go to X? If not, get with the program. This is Minnesota. When I saw granddaughter husker wearing a Sweatshirt from Michigan, I asked where did you get that? Next, lets go shopping.
Shooting them is a little harsh. They should definitely be shamed though. I'm sure though that nobody says a word to them.
Unbelievable. If you can't take pride in the school that you are attending then why even bother showing up...you have no hope in life.
Hey, Dr. Literal, did you really think he was serious
I agree, it's different. For some, the hockey rivalry spills over to other sports, even though we don't play them in anything but hockey. But others can happily be fans of both, except for hockey.
It all goes back to this map. Minnesota is CFB apathetic and has been for a long time.
Wisconsin residents are born and bred to be nuts about the Badgers and the Packers. Have none of you ever been to the State before?

There are plenty of people who grow up Gopher fans who choose to attend UW-Madison (and still remain Gopher fans). Some people choose to put their academic interests first and worry less about sports teams and rivalries when they're choosing a college and making a decision which will affect their future. What a terrible thing, right?!
