I'm pissed. Yeah, Union's a good team, and yeah, I guess this Gostisbehere asshole basically pulled a Shabazz Napier and told his teammates to climb on his back, and the Goofs defense turned in a fairy shitty performance (although the Dutchmen players can fly). I'm just absolutely pissed off that they had a chance to win their first NCAA championship in 11 years and they failed to do so.
I planned to watch, and celebrate, at the bar we watch our football games in. When I finally parked my car, it was 4-2 Union. What the fuck? And when they made it 5-3 I left. This isn't a huge upset, but this is a mighty, mighty disappointment.
This fact is very motherfucking scary: Both Golden Gopher hockey teams held the #1 seed and were upset by the #3 seeds, both of which are small schools from the Northeast United States that are not Division I in any other sport except hockey, and won their first NCAA championship in any sport ever. The failures mirror each other. But hey, we're Minnesotans -- we're generous that way.
Now that I wrote #1 seeds I'm getting more and more pissed off. Hockey's a weird sport, but with two top seeds you'd figure one of them would win the title. But neither did. Both teams got to the final game, but both failed. You guys suck, both of you teams. How disgusting.
I don't give a shit about second place. Second place is just being the last loser. That's why I appreciate the Twins at this moment. They don't fuck around about how bad they are. They let you know by, like, Memorial Day they won't win the World Series. By contrast we get these title teases, powerhouse teams that wilt when it counts the most. And with this fucking shitty game, we will have won zero NCAA championships in the last 11 years.
I don't know how I can even leave the house without at least hanging my head in shame. And if I feel that way, goddamn those fucking players better feel that way, too.
Second place in men's hockey, second place in women's hockey, and don't forget, second place in wrestling, too. (And that team had their chances to win and failed.) I'm a guy who thinks it's championships or bust, even when a team or program has no chance. These three Minnesota teams did have a chance, and they failed, they absolutely fucking failed. So why shouldn't I believe anything except that the U. athletic program is just a bunch of losers?
Oh yeah, and now I hate Union almost as much as I hate those Clarkson cunts. Fuck you, all of you.

One other thing: There were riots in Dinkytown ... well, "riots." I'm sure the kids would have set the area on fire if the Goofers actually won, even though I don't quite understand why you'd break shit when your team wins because I would when my team loses. (Guess I should've gone down there.) But as far as I can tell (and admittedly I didn't watch tonight's news), as far as riots go, tonight's was pretty lame. The police were out in force in reaction to their flat-footed response to the riot that happened after the Goofs beat North Dakota Thursday night, so they quashed any rabble-rousers hoping to stir shit up real quick, I guess. Nevertheless, it was lame, and not the youth in revolt I thought -- OK, I'll admit, I hoped -- it would be after the team that represents them failed to win the championship. So we can blame the sucky riot on the Golden Gopher men's hockey team, too.
