I remember back to 1987 at Joe Louis Arena when we (Minn fans) cheered North
Dakota on to beat Michigan State in the championship game. However, since that
time when we have been to our league final four, almost all other fans cheer
AGAINST Minnesota. It is rather a sore point with me and I have said it before
and say it again, I will not cheer for a team that wouldn't give us the same
respect. Naturally, it is beneficial for our league to win the national
championship however there are two teams I definitely would NOT cheer for. One
is Wisconsin and the other is North Dakota. We even have a VERY popular button
here which reads: "I cheer for Minnesota and whoever is playing Wisconsin".
This weekend I am rooting for Michigan Tech to beat Northern Michigan. Next
weekend will be tricky as Wisconsin will be playing Northern...you'll have to
ask me again next week if I'll reconsider who to cheer for. *:-)
