Minnesota is a neighboring state to the Dakotas so, absent a team from the Dakotas, the league must have instructed the refs to give St Thomas “The Dakota Treatment.”

Hahahahaha…. that’s funny

The league is pretty fond of their new toy St. Thomas; with all their donor and sponsor dollars that the league covets, plus a huge, hungry fan base that I would not be surprised to see make the four-hour trek in numbers toorrow from St. Paul (and points thereof) to support their boys and join in the ORU hatefest.

And, Minnesota is within the service area of good ol' Midco Sports; which was blatently apparent at the end of the St. Thomas quarterfinal win:  the announcer almost fainted from his unabashed love of the Tommies.  He was also quick to remind eveyone that "NO ONE PLAYED ORAL ROBERTS CLOSER THIS SEASON THAN SAINT THOMAS SO DON'T MISS IT!!" (though I'm pretty sure he said the same thing about UND vs. ORU...)
