Of course, no right-minded Wisconsinite should take offense at
being called a Cheesehead. This is America's Dairyland isn't it.
I enjoy the dairy industry heritage in Wisconsin and am happy to
be called a Cheesehead.
I don't the Gophers should really complain about the criticism
they received earlier. Remember most of the criticism was
concerned with the policy of only recruiting kids from Minnesota.
There was a little joking about the Gopher's record but most
of the discussion centered on a legitimate topic. Don't be so
sensitive about this policy if you really believe in it.
As for the goofer(quoted below) who started this thread,

How typically arrogant from one(!) who doesn't know how to spell.
And how many NCAA titles has Wisconsin won(!) since then?

Wisconsin had a loss and a tie. There was no way in the world
they would have won the National championship without a perfect
record. There nonconference schedule was just too wimpy. Why
don't you wait to do your woofing until your team actually wins
some national title for a change.
