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. *:-) Carol White U of M GO Gophers!!! GO HUSKIES!!
