dakotadan Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I normally don't like when people bring posts from other forum sites back here. But I found this one funny and fitting to the discussion going on here. Apparently this isn't the only site that FU fans constantly hang around looking for approval. Quote Post something about the NC game on eGriz.com. It won't be long before one of the seemingly 100 T-Buff fans who are on eGriz.com constantly has to pipe up with a "look at me" dance. T-Buffs fans: the bestest fans in the world; just ask them. http://www.egriz.com/grizboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=73008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left that site because it was nothing but a Bison "look at me" post fest in every thread especially the UND game threads that had nothing to do with them, and when the mods did nothing but kiss their behind I left.

Popular Post Sioux>Bison Posted January 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2016 Back on topic...... should UND be disappointed they have not gathered the bandwagon fan base as NDSU has? I don't think we would want those kind of fans anyways. Will the bandwagon be there after some consecutive losing seasons? If you want a laugh just ask a bison fan who the coach of the bison was in the 90's? Majority of those bandwagoners could not answer that. I grew up playing hockey and football in ND and NDSU was never on my radar ( granted UND was on top then). Were their games even on TV? I'm tired of seeing dedicated UND alumni on Facebook wearing gold in frisco. Support your own damn team you traitors! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise all this success will be a distant memory. I'm surprised there hasn't been a bigger push to somehow increase capacity/build a new stadium/position itself for FBS. If they had a 30,000+ seat stadium and winning all these titles, the discussion would be a lot different. But instead it's like "OK cool. Now what? Nothing. Try it again next year." And just waiting for others to "catch up." This subject has been beaten to death. You can add seats but it isnt economically feasible. To do so at the dome you would also knock them out of business for 2 years far any major renovations... I could go on but its not " ok cool" Its more ....It is what it is. Until opportunities present themselves. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux>Bison Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Won't spend a weekend cheering on their own alma mater's football team, but will spend thousands of dollars to travel to frisco to watch enemy #1. #undbanwagonproblems i think we should also regard hockey only fans as bandwagoners too. What a waste of a fanbase to be only hockey fans. If anything we should all get behind basketball because that is where he nation will actually care about UND. Screw these niche sports like hockey and FCS football 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say we stop comparing our football fans and experience to SU and just keep moving ahead. The crowd is coming back. I will still say that UND doesn't do much to build the excitment or on tailgating (now I know when they read this they will shake their head but if you keep doing what you are doing and get the same results that's insanity). Ideas have been shared here several times by tailgaters to improve and grow the experience. Also I must say I can't imagine you would ever see an SU Sucks sign or banner at a UND event that was not playing SU - out of sight out of mind - but not down south. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Siouxperfan7 Posted January 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2016 Let's just remember that there was a time not too long ago where NDSU football was not that relevant and UND football was king of the state. When the Alerus Center opened, the crowds were great, the team was playing great and the tailgating was second to none. All 3 were better than what NDSU had going on. UND can sell out a 12000 seat Alerus Center and pack the tailgate lot and put a competitive team on the field that makes the playoffs and contends for National Championships. I have seen it before. We all have. Let's not forget that. This is not a pipe dream. It has been done and it is looking like it will be back to that very soon. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
