Very similar to Bison fans "remembering" how all UND fans said they were going to fail at D1 and aren't good enough for that level. Sure there were some uninformed fans that lumped NDSU in with Duke, UNC, Forida State etc because of the D1 label - not knowing that they were really going to be playing in the GWFC and Summit League. Of course they would be fine playing vs D1-AA teams in FB. That took on a life of it's own as well.
