westsidesioux Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 What should some of the posters in the background say? I'll start. "Can You Sign My Petition?"
Siouxperfan7 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I will give props to anyone who is downtown during the broadcast with anything UND on, or with a UND sign or flag. Talk about going into the lions den!!
CMSioux Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 How about: Dear Mom please send bail money For sale - 25 Big Screen TVs NIB NDSU our team is all about exposure 1
siouxfan512 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 well i just saw on facebook (https://www.facebook...415808241975922 ) that NDSU fans are upset that college gameday is in downtown fargo and not by the dome. what a bunch of babies Fairly legit complain. Why wouldn't you host college gameday where the game is, seems pretty strange. Even from ESPN's perspective, they should be wanted to get the whole atmosphere (Game, Tailgating, fans) on, or behind, their cameras.
jdub27 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Definitely some mugshots available for giant cardboard head cut-outs... Fairly legit complain. Why wouldn't you host college gameday where the game is, seems pretty strange. Even from ESPN's perspective, they should be wanted to get the whole atmosphere (Game, Tailgating, fans) on, or behind, their cameras. My guess is they control the crowd and what is going on behind them easier from this location. Agree that it is a little strange though. My guess was they were going to use Newman Field.
petey23 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 No NCAA autograph scandal here....we sign other people's names! You want Manziel's autograph? Sure, I can do a Manziel. Will sign petitions for food. Best Buy discount club member! 3
UNDBIZ Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 You want Manziel's autograph? Sure, I can do a Manziel. Fantastic
kingranch Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Man we as fans sound petty and jealous the last few posts.
petey23 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Man we as fans sound petty and jealous the last few posts. Relax. Do you ever watch Game Day? This is par for the course.
jodcon Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 "4K TV cheap. Hit my pager." "Bama's Our Bitch" "I'd rather be trolling SiouxSports.com" 1
UNDBIZ Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Man we as fans sound petty and jealous the last few posts. Are you referring to the posts on bisonville or are you attempting to pass yourself off as a UND fan? 1
CMSioux Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Man we as fans sound petty and jealous the last few posts. It's just for fun - not like we have entire threads devoted to Smack.
Matt Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Fairly legit complain. Why wouldn't you host college gameday where the game is, seems pretty strange. Even from ESPN's perspective, they should be wanted to get the whole atmosphere (Game, Tailgating, fans) on, or behind, their cameras. Won't make it easy for students to go to the gameday set, then get back in line at the fargodome to get their tix. I don't buy that it was all ESPNs decision though. I have no doubt that's what they asked for, but I'm sure ndsu put up no complaint. Holding an event like this on the ndsu campus, under ndsu control and decision making is one thing. Shutting down all of downtown, with the city of fargo resources which will now be required to pull this off, that's quite another. And that isn't something that ndsu could even say "yes" to in the first place. ndsu admin would have had to go to the city for permission to do it, since it is under their jurisdiction. Had ndsu wanted to, they certainly could have said that logistically downtown isn't feasible on such short notice and a campus or dome site would have to suffice.
Hayduke Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 "4K TV cheap. Hit my pager." "Bama's Our Bitch" "I'd rather be trolling SiouxSports.com" Naw, Colorado State gets to be 'Bama's bitch next week. It won't be pretty. Good for the University of Agriculture and Applied Science. Now, they get to showcase their famous bull testicle research. Or maybe the quilt work their home ec deparment did over the summer... Well, we all know they'll wear the yellow stains from their sheets anyway...
SIOUXFAN97 Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 downtown fargo??? as a siouxfan i like this so its more about the city of fargo instead of the ndac's fb team... this actually made my day...
Matt Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 downtown fargo??? as a siouxfan i like this so its more about the city of fargo instead of the ndac's fb team... this actually made my day... It's perfect! We will have to rave about how great it is that the city of fargo and the state of ND are getting showcased like this.
fightingsioux4life Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 You equate a few people on a chat room to "everyone". Step back from the ledge. I think we should start a money pool for the student(s) that can get UND sign/shirt/logo on camera during the program.
Wilbur Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Come on ESPN.....Downtown Fargo? How many times has gameday come to a location only to not host the event within a mile of the stadium? Still very cool that they are coming and all, but two miles from the stadium?
darell1976 Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 ESPN says its comical that fans are bitching about the location they only do 2 or 3 shows a year at the stadiums. Why can't fans be happy it's coming here.
southpaw Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 When they came to Air Force they were on the hill. Of course it's on the campus but it's just as much of a drive from there to the stadium. ESPN is looking for good backdrops and the fargodome is not that. If they came to Grand Forks, I wouldn't expect them to be at the Alerus Center... what is there to see? Same thing with the fargodome.
CMSioux Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Aw, that's not nice - save it for the Trolls.
Let'sGoHawks! Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 With all of this complaining, ESPN has to be surprised and regretful that they picked this location. Here's an ag related reference for NDSU: Don't look a gift horse in the mouth! 1
Shawn-O Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I bet Duhamel will be the celebrity picker...that'll chap some asses...
UNDBIZ Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I bet Duhamel will be the celebrity picker...that'll chap some asses... That would be funny.
Let'sGoHawks! Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I bet Duhamel will be the celebrity picker...that'll chap some asses... It better not be some stunt like William H. Macy reprising his Jerry Lundegard role from the movie Fargo! That would be awful for our state.
