Hello all. Long time reader, new poster. Wanted to put this in the other thread but it was locked. This really doesn't fit here but didn't want to start a new thread.
I look at it this way. I came to school in 2004 to NDSU. But I have never seen any game ever between NDSU and UND. Some say that I have been deprived in life because of this but it really doesn't matter to me. People tell me the great games of the past and the things that were done or said to the Sioux. Granted our transition has had ups and downs with little regional games. But I have come to a liking of the teams that we have played. I actually look forward to tonights last home game against IPFW. To some on here they are just a bunch of non-name misfits like us in DI transition. But since these are the only games I have seen ever seen at the BSA or Fargodome the teams don't matter.
Thursday night at the NJIT game, everything was going fine and then the band had to play that little number where the NDSU fans say the whole "Sioux Suck S---"--you know how it goes. A while back playing against SDSU a number of kids where doing the same thing. And I say to myself, "Are you serious, we are not even playing you guys and kids are chanting that." What a bunch of obsessed idiots. How retarded do you look chanting that, who the hell are you trying to impress. I mean I am a Junior so that make only seniors/grad students that have even seen a game against UND and NDSU.
I think that a cooling off period is a great idea, just to get some of these people that have so much hate in their heart to maybe forget the past a little bit. I do agree a riverly is supposed to be fierce and everything, but I just think that it is too much right now. I mean people chanting at a NDSU home game about how much the Sioux Suck just shows some of the idiots that live for the hatred. If ever play UND again, which I'm sure we will, I would only look at it at a convient close regional game. How could I call it a rivarly game because I have never seen the two teams play. After a few years it might become a rivalry to me, if the competition is close and heated.
And for your transition I say good luck. There is no reason to wish somebody fall on there face just because of what happened in the past. As much as some might not want to believe is that success at UND or NDSU fuels success at the other institution. We can be separte institutions and all that but if we could work together everyone will benefit.
Back on track of the topic, 2009 on the schedule would be great.
