Seriously - imagine if the entire state of MN supported the Gopher program the way Nebraska supports that program.
I understand the situations are different - MN has competition from pro sports, etc.
But- it's still fun to consider what that would be like. I'm 66 - but I'm still too young to really remember when the Gophers owned the state. I was 6 years old the last time they went to the Rose Bowl, and I wasn't following college FB much at that time. was more interested in dinosaurs.
so, you can rip Nebraska all you want, but those people support that program on a whole different level than the way people in MN support the Gophers.
