bison73 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I prefer to use the term "discuss". I feel that the ability to post anonymously has taken the online discussion of the rivalry to a higher level of disrespect. I would also say that the more immature a person is the more disrespectful their postings can be. I can take good-natured ribbing - I can't take constant disrespect and trolling. If you think using SU instead of FU would reduce the level of disrespect I'm all in and I guess it has to start somewhere.I am pretty sure I have always referred to you guys as UND especially since Sioux was retired.But one must remember that people on message boards are a very small minority of the fans associatedwith either team. Fan is short for Fanatic. Fans have more of an edge that the regular fan. Fanatics have a tendency to forget its just a game.Ive never been able to understand the hate that some show on both sides of the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMSioux Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Dang - I think I could tailgate with you (but I do have you on "ignore" so you must have a dark past . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux>Bison Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Those dip sticks on bisonville aka FU trailer park don't want to have real discussions about the rivalry. They don't have much common sense over there. I'm glad I don't have to hear this year all about how they would win the big 12 after beating just one crappy FBS team every year.

bincitysioux Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Years ago I used to go to Bisonville to keep up on regional sports talk - had to stop it has gotten so venomous, juvenile, insulting,and incredibly mean-spirited. I can actually agree with this. Bisonville used to be a great place to just go talk sports. As more of a football and basketball guy (as opposed to hockey), back in the mid 2000's I could find better conversation about sport in general over there than I could here. Things seemed to go crazy over at Bisonville around the time they got into the MVFC, about the same time that UND moved to DI. Can't hardly stand to read that forum anymore now. For whatever reason, for the past few years they are just as big into putting North Dakota down as they are into celebrating their own success...........

It's to the point I really don't even look forward to this game any more due to comments like that from both sides. I think everyone needs to go back to their corner until a week before the game.

You could actually have a discussion on numerous topics and there would be good natured ribbing but very few flame wars. Then BV was over run by a host of immature students and lakesbison wannabes and it really turned the tables up side down. Many of the really good posters don't post anymore because of the BS and a few real head cases. Its a shame. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxperfan7 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Getting back on topic...... I am wondering if NDSU and the Fargodome is even going to consider giving UND a designated area for their fans to tailgate. I know that The Alerus has done this for schools that play us. Not sure what they have done for other schools. But you would think for a game of this magnitude involving thier biggest rival (sorry Bison fans, it's true) that they would accomodate. I know that the Alerus more than accomodated Bison fans back in 2003. Probably wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best bet will be to find some friends who are bison fans who tailgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned it earlier but I asked someone within UND about it and they don't currently have anything set up but are going to look into it, hopefully putting up a tent or something. That being said, since it wasn't included in the original contract, I don't see NDSU offering the courtesy to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, since it wasn't included in the original contract, I don't see NDSU offering the courtesy to them. I get that it would be tough to do. Especially considering the demand for tailgating. I had mentioned before about having a local establishment near the dome host UND fans for tailgating and the game, similar to what places like the Pourhouse in Minneapolis does for the Frozen Faceoff. As much as Bison fans scoff at the idea, a local establishment would be wise to do something like that. There are plenty of UND fans in Fargo, and surrounding areas including GF) that don't have tickets to the game but would like to be down there to watch it with other UND football fans.

Rory Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Looks like College Gameday will be heading back to Fargo but not for the UND game. Instead it will be week 6 against UNI. To bad. UND game would of been epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the GA parking they have rigs getting in line the night before.If your fundraising arm is thinking of doing something they better get going on it now.

I'd argue with his idea that there aren't any big games that week when Oklahoma and Texas play along with Miami/FSU, Wisconsin/Nebraska, Arkansas/Alabama or Georgia/Tennessee among others. He also thought that Baylor played in Baylor, Texas before fixing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because one article states that They think it will happen doesn't mean it even has a small chance. The nation of college football will not even hear about the bison in the headlines this year because they have no fbs game. Keep dreaming man! The country cares about fbs teams. If it did happen both teams would Need to be undefeated which means UNI would have to beat Iowa 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
