I would go a bit stronger than this and say that it's not atypical for kids that
come from Duluth to the Twin Cities. I haven't ever been to the DECC, but the
UMD fans I know here in Minneapolis are still bitter about Rob Stauber becoming a
Gopher and are willing to bend your ear about it (even saying, "Stauber sucks,"
rather loudly with little prompting). Other than Duluth fans about Gophers,
though, I don't know of any similar occurences in the west.
