If they'd have kept recording, we'd have seen the "Let's play Incarnate Word" chant.

Did we ever return their missing goal posts?

Wiconsin is their biggest rival, definitely among the players. I was at the Wisconsin Minnesota game in Madison two years ago. They were roughing up Hornibrook prior to his concussion.
They were leading at halftime and absolutely stoked. They thought they had the axe back, and Wisconsin has owned that axe for a long time. Mitch Leidner was quoted as saying he would trade every Big Ten win of his career for a win that day.
Wisconsin owned the fourth quarter and won, again.

We were tailgating in a University lot. There were Gopher fans near us. I heard f Iowa a time or two but it was absolute venom being spewed toward Wisconsin. Relentless hatred.

Yep pretty much spot on here. That 2016 game was brutal for Gopher fans. But the 2014 game was on another level. That was a pretty good Gopher team (by their standards). They were really controlling the game, up 17-3 in the 2nd quarter and then the wheels came off and they lost by 10. That game was for the first B1G West championship.

No. We're still pissed that we almost got a crowd noise penalty in the Metrodome on '90.

They should chant..........

"We can't beat Iowa, We can't beat Iowa" then change to "We can't beat the Badgers, we can't beat the Badgers"

I went up there in 14 when Iowa got housed - that Chant rang out the entire game. One of the few road games I ever left in the 4th Q.

Fans only act this way when they never experienced being a fan of a winning team... Dinky Town is still pretty nice area though. Weird how small it feels in a big city.

 

[Fryowa]

If there are any senior Minnesota students in the vid, they haven't seen a win vs Iowa or Wisconsin the entire time they've been in school.

Really can't call Minnesota/Wisconsin a rivalry; a rivalry implies there's some sort of competitiveness. In the last 25 years Minnesota has only won twice.

That rivalry was dead before Bill Clinton left office.

You're correct from that standpoint. And everyone of those losses have driven Minnesota nuts. We have relatives up there. Alumni who post on this board live up there. They hate to lose to Wisconsin and like you point out have done it often.

The Maxx Williams game. That was ugly. You picked a bad year to go up there. 2002 or 2008 would have been better.

I would quit watching football if that's the chant that makes me go. Seriously, talk about an inferiority conplex.
