You want substance. Syracuse won the game. Minnesota lost. And you talk about the past? How about the present sir? Syracuse won when this thread continually bashed Syracuse and said you would crush them. And reading the thread, others bashed the school itself and the alumni. Bash if you will...but facts are facts. I didn't read your threads on the SU board but if they were just facts and nothing else, I am surprised you got kicked off. But judging by your post that you will "take on 100 of (us) by yourself" I have a feeling you posted a little more than facts. Fact is you lost to SU today, the most recent, relevant game to discuss. Is that enough substance for you sir? No reason to be pathetic and scared...Syracuse just won the game. The substance you crave sir is the result of the game. I wish the Golden Gophers a great 2014 season.
All I did was post facts. I didn't insult anyone or challenge anyone, they just didn't like what I had to say!!!
SU fans didn't seem to give any credence to THE FACT that we had won 3 straight football games vs Syracuse, including a game just last year. In fact, I read SU fans make a bunch of excuses for why they lost that game to us and then proclaimed that it didn't mean SU wasn't still the superior fb team. So I say, back at you, just because SU won today, doesn't mean they are the superior team.
And probably 2/3rds of SUs Olympic medals were won before 1960. Over 2/3rds of UMn's were won AFTER 1960!!!!
And that's significant seeing as UMn has won THREE TIMES as many medals as SU has.
And SU has ONE SINGLE SOLITARY Nobel laurette associated with its university, and not a graduate.
UMn has TWENTY-THREE!!! Incl 8 graduates.
23 to 1.
And UMn won SIX Natl Titles last season, and THREE the year before and THREE the year before that and THREE the year before that.
Is that recent enough for you???
Oh, but I'm sure you will discount them since they aren't cfb, cbb or lacrosse titles. Those are the only 3 sports relevant to anyone, right?!
This despite the fact that football participation is decreasing, and NHL attendance has topped NBA attendance, and the sport of hockey has grown by leaps and bounds and continues to grow and there are 6 times as many people playing hockey than lacrosse, and NHL stars makes millions a year, and Dance and Cheer team participation is growing by leaps and bounds as well and is 6 times more popular than lacrosse as well and actually helps in getting better opportunities after graduation. Wrestling is the only sport that is not growing but even there, wrestlers just transition into ufc or something similar.
And UMn has TWO former Gophers nominated for the NFL Pro Hall of Fame right now!!!!
And a former Gopher was named to the cfb HOF in 2011 and in 2006 and in 2003 and in 2002.
And several Gophers are already slated to compete in the 2014 Winter Olympics and are favored to win medals.
