“I’m just sick about losing North Dakota and Duluth,” Nanne said, adding that the Gophers would still get to play the in-state schools in nonconference matchups with the North Star College Cup. “To lose North Dakota and not play for three years. . . to lose Denver and Colorado. . . I gotta tell you, I’m sick about it, because to me, the biggest rivalry Minnesota’s ever had is North Dakota.”
I know that this has been beat to death, but when someone like Lou Nanne makes a comment like this it has some merit. Nanne is an icon in Minnesota when it comes to hockey and when he talks people listen to him.
