Minnesota Down Seven But Not Out
The big news this weekend is that the Minnesota Gophers will be playing MSU-Mankato short seven players. Being down seven players for the "State Of Hockey" seemed like a plot of a Hollywood sports movie. Hmmm...


The Mighty Gophers - A bunch of plunky kids are recruited by the Don at Shattuck St. Marys and lead UM to victory over Mankato.

Goldy - The heartwarming story of a down and out mascot from Philadelphia who never gave up and is given the once in a lifetime opportunity perform between periods against Mankato.

Searching For Tyler Hirsh - Kind of like the Bobby Fisher movie. Come to think of it...exactly like the Bobby Fisher movie.

The Pride of the Gophers - A bunch of Gopher players go off to Sweden and when they return they never get back in the lineup because the "Wally Pipp Line" which replaced them can play defense.

The Bad News Gophers Go To Sweden - They might not win the gold, but the hijinx continue as the loveable losers take on the Finns, the Canadians and the Swedes.

Eight Men Out - The Gopher players want to "fix" a game to pay off their Blarney's bar tab. Don Lucia foils the plot and suspends each player one game, but only when they are injuried or at the World Junior Tournament.

On Goldy's Pond - Bittersweet story of a hockey player who mends his relationship with his father and then goes on to play in the NCAA Tournament against Holy Cross.

White Men Can't Skate - Wesley Snipes & Woody Harrelson star in this lighthearted buddy movie about pickup hockey at the University of Minnesota.

Aww..I always liked you. Just had to put you in your place a little.

GO DU:) I'm sure you'll easily win this weekend. Up for a nasty WI joke from a MN girl?

Why don't MN girls date WI men? Ever seen what a Badger does to a Gopher hole?!? :)

Sorry, sick.
