I said "I don't remember", that doesn't mean it didn't happen. I've seen several of you say it happened, so it must have. I just didn't notice it I guess? But I know Gopher fans, and they are not too unlike all other sports fans, and I can't imagine someone not saying something derogatory. I guess I try to ignore it when they get all negative.
 
I can't follow twitter during Gopher games, because those same negative types tweet endlessly about how badly the Gophers suck and are going to lose or are going to blow a game, it makes it impossible to enjoy a game. They rag on individual players relentlessly. I almost get sick reading those messages, those players are often trying their hardest, and they came to our school of their own free will to try to help us out, so I feel its wrong to get so down on them. Only when the Gophers are totally and completely demolishing their opponents do those negative types ever say anything positive. And that doesn't happen very often.
 
So I can easily imagine that they would have something negative to say about the next Gopher opponent as well.
 
It's part of their way, if they denigrate our opponent then they can denigrate the team or the coach when we lose to such a supposedly horrible opponent.
 
 
Not everyone loves Coach Kill, or Coach Pitino, most do, but its those negative nancys. We have fans who hate our 3 time Natl Title winning Wrestling coach. And our 2 time Natl Title winning hockey coach as well.
 
 
So I shouldn't so quickly defend Gopher fans in general, because there is always that small minority of negative nancys.
