ASK dg

This week's question comes from evegoe In Minnesota: Honestly it's UM-DU week... and there are Maine stories posted? Is the Border ready for a Gopher invasion?

dg: Good questions. I was immediately suspicious of the "Maine Bashing" because it followed so closely on the heels of "Blarneygate." Usually, when Coach Lucia needs a smokescreen, the "Family" gets to work and a bigger more sensational scandal mysteriously turns up elsewhere. Viola.

The last time a couple of "hacks" from Minnesota tried to invade a bar, that wasn't giving out free drinks to underage hockey players, was during the Frozen Four in Boston. The Minnesota-Duluth chaper of Alcoholics Anonymous made bold pronouncements about taking over the Penalty Box across the street from the FleetCenter. Well we all know how that turned out. A Denver shirt proudly greeted them over the Bar and when they asked the bartender to take it down, they were asked to leave. Turns out it didn't matter because the bus headed home 10 hours later.

Here are two Blog Links to make sure the other side gets equal time:

I'm in Denver now and enjoying it not being freezing cold, nice weather you have here. It was a long drinking session last night to prime the pump last night. Luckily I didn't take Goldy Gopher or Sally Gopher home last night.

Go Gophers, the return of Danny Irmen and his line with Kessel and Howe should be a fun one.
