There are classy ones everywhere. I remember seeing a Vikings fan in the mid 70's urinating in the north bleachers at Met Stadium after a Vikings game while fans were filing out underneath the bleachers. The stadium was @ one-third empty at the time. Nothing but class.

Did the newspaper do a story on it and did you get it on camera :D

Living in the outskirts of Pittsburgh, and I can tell you from experience that Pennsylvania, except for the Philadelphia area and the city of Pittsburgh itself, is Pennsyl-f-ing-tucky. It's Pennsyltucky and Philly, basically, and ironically, the city of Philly is a complete sh--hole (though the suburbs can be pretty nice).

Some of the rural towns in western PA are downright scary, as if every person in the town is looking for a fight. I rarely get that feeling in rural MN, I have to admit.

All that said, Pittsburgh, if they ever gave one iota about infrastructure (rust and broken concrete everywhere) would be a great place to raise a family.

There is a line I remember about Pennsylvania:

It's Pittsburgh in the west and Philly in the east, and Alabama in the middle.
 

Can't we just come together, stop fighting, and just make fun of southern hicks...In south it doesn't matter if you live in a city or a rural area. They're all hicks

Having been raised for 11 years of my childhood in central PA (Harrisburg area), I must say ....

... so true. My ventures to sprint car races as a child will validate this sentiment.

Not one post attacked the metro area. Do you disagree that metro areas also have their share of hicks just as the rural areas or something? We are all fans of the gophers so it would be nice if some fans didn't feel the need to make assumptions about fans from other areas of the state.

Some of my most "upper class" people I know live in the Twin Cities. But they are actually from some of the poorest parts of MN, graduated from college and landed a great job. They are also the most judgmental of people who live in the outstate. I can think of hundreds of people who live in the metro (MSP, first and second ring suburbs) who grew up in the outstate.

CentralGopher,

Maybe it's cool on some boards to whine to the moderators, but we generally fight our own battles around here. Man up.

It's idiots like you that need to be banned. Moderators need to do a better job of patrolling the forum to prevent abuse. Fine if you want to call out WVA fans for being whiny hicks but it was uncalled for to equate them with rural Minnesotans. We are fans also and don't deserve to be disrespected by self serving aholes like you.

If you think it is strange and creepy to say hi to people, care about things other than just yourself, and generally be nice to others then I guess I can't argue with you.

So you talk about metro area people who think they are superior to others and then you post something like this? Try practicing what you preach.

Love it. Post starts out laughing at WV fans and ends up with Gopher fans insulting each other. Only on GopherHole.
 




As a current U of M student who grew up on a farm in a town of less than a thousand I'd just like to ask, why is there all this hate by some (not all) city and suburban people towards people from where I come from? What did we ever do to you? All through high school we would be harassed whenever we came down to the metro to play with chants like "start your tractors" and the like. Now at college I get the same crap. Good example at the Iowa game in the student section an Iowa fan walked passed and a student stood up and screamed over and over at him, "DO YOU LIVE ON A FARM?" to mock him. I just don't understand what some of you guys have against me and my hometown, please explain why living in the country makes somebody lesser than someone who grew up in the city, I just don't see it.
 

I remember last year when OSU played at WVU, and the WVU fans actually chanted "f*** you Turner" repeatedly only they did not abbreviate it. You could hear it on TV!

Did anyone ever say you were less for growing up in a small town? You should try to lighten up.

And trust me, growing up in the city, we got the same from the outstate fans.
 


It's easy to tell people to lighten up when its not your home area under attack. That being said, how about them gophers aye?
 

The only thing this thread has proved is that people from rural MN have no sense of humor.
 

The best part of this rural/urban/suburban debate:

You'll never see this debate on a hawkeye board.
 

This page feels a little like the farm subsidies topic in the open forum...
 

Markous you just have to come to the realization that urban and suburban Minnesotans are just generally more smug.
 

I like it when someone says "I'm from the Cities". BFD. I'm from my Mother.

That is like watching Leonid Brezhnev try to do stand up comedy and then blame the audience for not having a sense of humor.

Guilty as charged, I guess. Forgive me for missing the humor.
 

Seriously, folks. Lighten up. It doesn't matter if you're a country bumpkin or a suburban yuppie, or a smug urban hipster. We all are cheering for the same squad. And to be honest, we need to save our anger for the true enemies - the people who weren't born in Minnesota. /Shakes fist at the outsiders.
 

Come now, I was born and raised in WI (with no say in the matter), but went to the U and have lived west of the border for 10+ years. I still bleed gold like the rest of ye...
 

And here I open this thread thinking some WVU fans had come over to Gopherhole to lobby their case...

I'm from a last ring suburb. I can see corn fields out my window, but I'm still 20-25 minutes away from downtown. According to this thread I should hate myself because I have sold out to both of the dark sides. Only on Gopherhole.

I've been on both sides having lived in the largest city in the state and also a couple of the smallest. Both sides are smug. City people tend to think "Outstaters" are hicks and that farming is some sort of crime. Rural people sometimes think city people dodge bullets all day and don't have any real friends since they- gasp - meet new people from time to time.

No one in their right mind has anything of substance against you. If they do, they are idiots. Let it go and cheer for the Gophs.
