WELCOME TO HATE WEEK: HATE SPRINGS ETERNAL

Herkyvgoldy_medium

This season might have sucked, but at least I'm not a Minnesota fan.

I'm not going to lie to you; it's a little difficult to get worked up for Goldy this year.  Gone are the dreams of parading a Big Ten Championship trophy through TCF Bank Stadium, in front of Tim Brewster, after a win that knocks Minnesota out of a bowl trip.  No, there will be no Big Ten title, and Goldy's bowl trip went overboard with Brewster weeks ago, and their interim coach has no chance of getting the job.  It makes this week's game feel oddly one-off.

Fortunately, it's still Minnesota.  It might not be Tim Brewster, but it's still Adam Weber, forever regressing, now playing for his third coach and completely incapable of saving him, as well.  It might not be the horrendous 2007 defense, but it is still a defense lost, confused, and giving up 409 yards and 34 points per game.  It might not be for a Big Ten title, but it's still for Floyd, the most prized piece of bronzed pork in the world.  It might not be important to anything else, but it's still Minnesota.  It's still the program who chases big name coaches like a child chasing the end of a rainbow.  It's still the program that had Bo Pelini and took Tim Brewster.  It's still such a massive, massive trainwreck.

So we will travel -- oh God, will we travel -- and we'll bring our typical ravenous horde of Mongrels to TCF Bank Stadium, once lauded for being the perfect size to keep out the foreign menace, but those projections didn't include 2-9 seasons and fan apathy of epic proportions.  Like its predecessor, we will make TCF Bank Stadium an extension of our program, an outpost on the great northern frontier.  Kinnick North Redux, etc.  But that won't be enough, not with a reputation to uphold and an opponent to obliterate.  No, the horde must gobble up every resource at its disposal, like the proverbial plague of locusts set loose in St. Paul.  Their stadium belongs to us, goalposts and all.  Only after we have beaten them and claimed our prizes of bronzed swine and yellow steel will we know this game, this campaign, this task is complete.  Minnesota is still on the schedule, and because of that there is still something to salvage.  This Thursday, give thanks for that.  Give thanks for hate.

Hate week is here, everyone.  Viva hate.

They’re pathetic. They really are. The thing is, they want me to feel sorry for them. Which only makes me hate them more.

Perhaps my best years are gone... but I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back.

Number 61 in that pic looks like Mike Reilly from Dubuque. Can anyone confirm? I can’t seem to find anything in my searches to confirm his #. He played 1961 – 63. A linebacker. He was the color man for Ron Gonder on WMT back when each station originated their own broadcast of the games. Mike’s son played for the Hawks as well.

(I hope that is Mike after boring you all with his mini-biography. If anyone can confirm, that would be great.)

When I left the house it was a balmy -8. It was nice to fly back home to Sacramento and our “cold” 50f northern California winters.

My safe house is five miles from the Buffalo Ridge, in northwest Iowa.

That’s five miles from the highest point between the Alleghenies and the Black Hills. The average 24×7 windspeed is 17 mph and temperatures didn’t hit 40 for 100+ consecutive days last winter. We had 100 mph winds (no tornado or cyclone, just a steep pressure gradient, this fall.), which exploded 100 year-old silver maples and new steel confinement buildings alike. I am thrilled to have an internal combustion engine remove as much of the stuff as possible (before it all blows back). You probably get more snow on average, though last winter we were piling it in the center of the streets because it spilled over and buried the sidewalks, otherwise.

The guy who works on my machine is so sick, so old-school, that when he services a lawnmower he balances the blade, like it was an airplane’s prop. It bothers him that people try to mow their yards with unbalanced blades. He’s very stubborn, process-oriented, and resolute, like a certain coach we admire. As with Ferentz, a person doesn’t dare ask him, “Is there an easier way to do this stuff?”

In my opinion, it’s very easy to get worked up for Goldy. I want blood. I want anguish. I want to demolish Goldy. I want to see a third straight shut-out, and I want us to put up the gaudiest numbers we’ve ever seen the Iowa Hawkeyes put up. I want to steal their goalposts and desecrate their bathrooms. It may be little comfort after the season we’ve had, but it’s Minnesota. Any time we can humiliate them, it’s good. Any time we can humiliate them, I can forget, if just for a few glorious moments, the disappointment that this season has brought us.

Minnesota already screwed that pooch

I suggested to one of their state senators back in about 2001 that since the Gophers and Vikes both want a new stadium, build one new one for both teams either on or super near campus, because the Vikings aren’t going to care about the location that much and frankly, the twin cities aren’t big enough for two football stadiums. Plus it can do pro soccer, tractor pulls, and whatever else they need to do to justify spending half a billion dollars on something that will only get used by the gophers 7 times a year tops.

He liked the idea but said he wasn’t on that committee and, being a Packers fan, he thought it would be funny if the Vikings left town.

Can I hate Pelini now?

Or do I have to wait until next season?

Beg pardon, Kyle. Just wanted to respect decorum.

Suck it, Pelini, you fucking leghumper. You and your asshole brother can both kiss my hairy ass. You think yer tuff? Roughin’ up a frosh QB on national TV? Fuck you, fuck your assclown university, and fuck all you dickhead ‘husker fans who think you’re somethin’ special. I can’t wait to play you pussys. We’re gonna stuff it so far up your asses you won’t know whether to shit or puke. See ya soon, cocksuckers.

I've had a lifelong hate for the Goophs

My dad is a University of North Dakota alum, who hates the U of M about as much as we do (and is hated during hockey season about as much).

Growing up in Minnesota, I always had to hear about the Gophers (Hey Look, We made the Final 4, we’re so awesome).

On Friday morning, I won a door prize at Johnson County I-Club and got called out by Kirk for “the band letting a Minnesotan in”. Goddamnit…

Thank you, thank you BHGP.

After watching the Hawkeyes lose in Kinnick again last Saturday, I wasn’t feeling very “up” for the LOLpher game. We are going to my brother’s in St. Paul for Turkey Day, and I ALMOST suggested to him that we just watch the game on TV. I didn’t, and we now have our tickets bought. And after reading this, the hate is floooooowing. I can’t wait to watch the 3rd shutout in 3 years against those fuckers. So thank you BHGP.

You're welcome.

We also accept purchases of shirts as a means of saying thanks. This one is particularly apt for this weekend.

So Iowa Thinks They've Annihilated The Gophers In The Past?

You do realize Nebraska beat Minnesota 84-13 (yes, that is supposed to be an 8 in front of the 4) in September of 1983?

You’ve got to top that to truly claim Mongol Horde-like levels of destruction against Minnesota.

Plus, I expect Nebraska to supplant Minnesota as Iowa’s Most Hated Big Ten Rival (except for Purdue) in short order, much like Texas took Nebraska’s place as Oklahoma’s Most Hated Rival.

Sure, Minnesota could keep the rivalry stoked by breaking with a half-century of ineptitude, but I don’t expect that to happen. Even if it did, Wisconsin would probably be our Most Rival, not Iowa.

by Midnight Rambler on Nov 23, 2010 4:32 PM CST reply actions  

I solemnly swear that I will do my part to keep the hatred for Minnesota at a high level.

It won’t be easy, what with the hate we’ll be bringing for ISU, Nebraska, jNW and (of course) OMHR, but I’ll make it happen. The hate can never die.

We simply cannot ever allow those stupid

pig fuckers near our beloved Floyd again. If it’s on mother fuckers, than it’s on. I feel the hatred growing in all of us. Embrace it… let it guide us… become one with the hate.

Kill those dumb mother fuckers and never again will we have to hear that stupid accent where they turn every “Oh” sound into two syllables.

Who orders a hot dog at a restaurant?

[I don’t consider Nathan’s Hot Dog Stands a restaurant…or Golden Corral for that matter (I consider it a troth of yummy though, particularly after a night of beer pong)]
