Fair enough. It is definitely a vice. I do think part of it is just that I don't like trash talking and find trash talking from Iowa fans to be especially obnoxious/personal and so the easiest way to minimize that trash talking is for them to not win/not be successful.
And yeah, it's great Minnesota got the win. The rivalry is better when both teams are winning the axe, Minnesota played the better game, and I have nothing against their fanbase. And I'm glad their running back is coming back for another year; he's really good.
I think most of my dislike of Fleck is me being bitter right now. I do think his "row the boat" shtick and his general chipper-ness is annoying and I'm glad he's not Wisconsin's coach, but I'll probably get over that soon.
