Obviously some people do. Note that this whole discussion was started not by
Minnesota fans, but by people from _Michigan_ posting an article that had
appeared in a _Michigan_ paper. And a lot of people, including yourself, were
obviously interested enough to read the items, or they wouldn't have responded.

Yes, it does!

Speaking only for myself: you lose. Take a look at the final league standings
for the last 8 years. Any team can have a down year from time-to-time
(especially after losing a couple top players with eligibility remaining to the
Olympic team), but Minnesota, playing almost exclusively Minnesota kids (I can
think of 2, maybe 3 exceptions), has finished no lower than tied for second in
each of Doug Woog's eight years here. Yes, I think that's at least a little bit
special.
