Well dress me up in red and call me a Communist, because I hate the Golden Gophers and their fucking ripoff of the Michigan block M and their ugly-ass maroon and yellow uniforms.

OK, maybe I don't hate them, I reserve that for evils like Michigan State and Ohio State, but I strongly dislike them.

I figured you would be the voice of dissent, Sam. And like I said, if Michigan was still in it, I'd be rooting for them. But now, I'm just pulling for the team with the most absurd name. Although "Fighting Sioux" is pretty bad too.

The Golden Gophers win the mascot challenge by virtue of being inoffensive.

If anyone on campus finds out that I was watching the Golden Gophers make into the Frozen Four instead of watching UNC make it into the Final Four, I'll probably get beaten up. But hockey is the superior sport. So there.

Hockey kicks basketball's ass any day of the week. And twice on Sundays.

And five times at once if the players actually have to fight each other.

Oh my god, best March Madness ever! Seriously, that would rock an inexplicable amount.

I would pay good money to watch hockey players beat the crap out of basketball players. This needs to happen.

Apparently, we have powers. Do we need to start a whole 'nother blog?

Cripes, I don't know how many blogs I can maintain at once.

Special to BFIM: The Golden Gophers women's hockey team won its 2nd NCAA hockey title in a row yesterday. They beat Hahvahd.

Question to Basegirl: Is 'neener' a proper rejoinder from me to BFIM under these circumstances (me being a Gopher hockey fan and all)?

I believe that would be acceptable, Jim. But don't be too harsh, she's still smarting from the Wolverines collapse. As am I from the Wildcats crapping the bed. Stupid college hockey, getting our hopes up...

Hockey players are the best athletes in the business - so says me who has watched & paid for all the work out camps, protein and specialty speed & agility drills for my son for many years. No doubt in my mind !!

I agree with mom.

God, I miss hockey. Looks like tonight it will be me, my VCR, and one of last year's Flyers playoff games.
