As a big bison fan who attended the final 5, I thought it was funny but completely outrageous at the same time. Many people there had to point the poster out to me since I seemed to be the only guy at the bars/X to be wearing the green and gold. How could the poster maker mess that one.
NDSU has had a problem with recognition. If you remember back to the Bison win over the Badgers in BB the ESPN announcers mixed us up for you guys. "NDSU fighting bison...We knew that NDSU had a good hockey team but we didn't know they had a good basketball team.."
Then I heard a badger fan behind me this weekend ask "Is UND from Fargo?"
So I agree, most people don't have much of a clue on what goes on in ND. For the most part they really don't care.
I also wonder...maybe it was a gopher fan that sabatoged the poster. But that would take someone of sports intelligence to know about the rivalry.
I wonder if we might see: "University of Minnesota Crookston" for next weekend's programs.
