How you know that Minnesota is irrelevant.

Riddick Moss? Current 24/7 Champ.

Cole Konrad, 1st ever Bellatore Champ, retired with a 9-0 record.

Shelton Benjamin, another champion.

Greg Gagne, a Tag Team Champion, his partner was a fellow UMn Grad. Can't remember his name right this minute. His father, a UMn grad, created the AWA.

 

[fredsdeadfriend]

Lindsey Whalen was the winningest player in WNBA history when she retired. McCarville was a UMn grad who was a #1 overall WNBA pick.

Krissy Wendell and Amanda Kessel are 2 of the Top 5 best female hockey players of ALL-TIME, both former Golden Gophers. Natalie Darwitz, another former Gopher is another of the Top 5 of ALL-TIME!!! At least 2 of 3 if not all 3 were named Captains of US Olympic Teams. Darwitz and Wendell are both in the US Hockey Hall of Fame.

Dude, I didn't say it's been this way for 5 years. Just said it was the CURRENT situation.

But I can tell you are scared. lol

The CURRENT situation is they just went to the playoffs.
Win something they matters until then just thank the Buckeyes for keeping the B1G relevant.

 

[ellupo]

Why? What doesn't UMn have that HE(Fleck) wants/needs?

If you can't see it nobody can help you.

Yeah, and Fortune 500 is a little misleading as 5 of the companies are Fortune 100. And 12 are Fortune 250.

Those Top 5 companies in the Top 100, they employ almost a million people, close to 900,000 to be more accurate. In a state of only 5 million, that's like 20% of the population. Remember many are old and don't work and many are young and too young to work. So those 5 companies alone employ 20% of the population of the entire state. WOW!!! Well, that's probably exaggerating things a bit as I'm sure there are Target's and Best Buys located outside of the state of Minnesota and I know my company CHS has locations outside of Minnesota, but that's still a large # of employees, 900,000+ US Bancorp employs another 75,000+, General Mills employs another 40,000, SuperValu another 23,000, Land O Lakes another 10,000, Ecolab another 49,000. That's close to another 200,000 and that's only 9 of the top 12.

You don't think former UMners work for these companies?


First one I looked up, Micheal W Wright, played for the Gopher FB team, won a Grey Cup title in 1961, in 1977 was named Sr VP of SuperValu, in 1978 was named COO & President and remained President until 2001. On 1981 he was named CEO and remained such until 2001, and was named Chairman of the Board in 1982 and remained such until 2002.


Do you realize how significant that is?

In the world of athletics it’s not significant at all.

Sure it is. Maybe not in West Virginee where you all marry yer sistahs? But here in Minnesota, we don't just produce the occasional NFL player. We also produce people who actually contribute to society.



But WVU produced DON KNOTTS, lol.


Shakiest Gun in the West? Absolutely a Classic!!!

Sure it is. That's why there are so many great CFB programs in and around NYC.

Not in the slightest it’s not. Congrats on thinking Minnesota is the only place in the US that produces non retards although you seem to be proving them wrong.

WVU also produced the nba logo.

What the hell has Minnesota done to top that? No, don’t answer that, no one gives a fuck about some doctor that you think invented the internet.

Awful lot of “helped” on there. Also a lot of wishful thinking.

Is there anything concrete or are you just going to go with this drivel?
