Wildfan Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 It was kind of heated for a while, SDSU beat NDSU three straight times from 2007-2009 but now SDSU losing 5 straight to NDSU has kind of taken the steam out of things. Not sure NDSU really has a rival in football at the moment. Eh must've died out when SDSU thought they would beat Nebraska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxFan100 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 He never said that they were Bison fans. There are alums, and fans of UND in all other sports that just don't see the point as of now to drive from Fargo to Grand Forks on Saturdays like they used to. If they still want to watch the sport they will just occasionally buy a ticket to the in town game, in that case NDSU. It similar to going to a Vikings game and seeing quite a few people wearing jerseys and shirts from other teams not playing. They want to see a game but not worth the travel at that moment. Heck even a Marlins fan was at the Giants-Royals game last night. You get it Wildfan. I live in Fargo and there are tons of UND grads that go to su football games. Will be interesting which jersey they will wear at the su game next year. I would be wearing Sioux of course but don't have a ticket anyways. I go to maybe one su game a year now and rarely go to a game in GF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDSUND Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Has anyone seen the purge? Just imagine the 12 hours after, for the NDSU coaches and players, if UND beats NDSU next year (and breaks the streak!) All those "We Want Bama" bandwagon fans, led by Lakes would enforce the purge on Bison in the Fargo area. From what I have heard, most "NDSU" Fans want this game and are expecting to lose at some point. All of the "Band wagon fans" want nothing to do with UND and are scared to death of losing any game, let alone to UND. In there eyes, the Bison could compete with the worst team in the NFL, and they will throw out any stat to help their case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-FB-FAN Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Wow, NDSU fans don't like something until they try it? The two schools have played 110 times by my count. We've tried it ... we don't like it.. You tried it and didn't like it because NDSU usually lost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosidel Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Have anything actual numbers to back that claim up? Here are the results of poll of NDSU students done in February of this year: Do you think NDSU should play UND in football? 59% - Yes 32% - Indifferent 9% - No Hardly a scientific poll. No more conclusive than a poll of Siouxsports.com or Bisonville might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub27 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hardly a scientific poll. No more conclusive than a poll of Siouxsports.com or Bisonville might be. 1,700+ students responded. 9% don't want to play the game. Unscientific or not, pretty much puts a pretty big dent in your illusion that the majority of NDSU fans don't want to play the game. And it is a lot more than you have to back up your claims.

jdub27 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Current NDSU students are a very small minority of NDSU fans. The party line has always been the students don't care about the rivalry. Proven false. Verified when FU's homecoming court felt the need to makes a trip up to Grand Forks and it ended with a couple of them being arrested. Again, I look forward to you providing me with something that proves the overwhelming majority don't want the game played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxFan100 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Current NDSU students are a very small minority of NDSU fans. I am somewhat surprised about how many in Fargo say they don't want to play UND. There are a lot of them. of course, they will be first in line to actually watch the game. Many just feel that it is not in su's best interest to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said anything of the kind. What I said was that most Bison fans either aren't interested in, or oppose the game. And that very few Bison fans strongly support renewing the game.

This is based entirely on my experience as a Bison fan and the idea that NDSU administrators do listen to fans and supporters. If those fans and supporters had really wanted this game to happen it would have happened years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
