It was depressing and I'm pissed the Gophers aren't playing up here this year, I think we would have avenged our loss this year. Hopefully we will sweep you at home this year

And your explanation for why people are upset makes sense, and that I can understand. Sadly in the quest for the great name change, it's come down to it being a symbol of discrimination, something I don't believe it was ever meant to be. The name was chose in the 30's or 40's I think, a time when discrimination was running rampant, but I doubt any white adminstrations would have affiliated themselves with that name just to discriminate.
