90siouxfan Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 with age comes maturity, with maturity comes reasonableness, with reasonableness comes the reality that sports is just a game, a distraction from the stressful things in life. Make the leap to realize liking things makes less stress than hating things and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of college attendance creates a sports mind to follow multiple teams? I'm intrigued on your research data to come up with this hypothesis. Or is this already scientific law?

I could be wrong, but he probably meant didn't go to either UND or NDSU and just didn't have strong enough ties one way or another to hate one and only rule for the other. My dad went to grad school at NDSU, both me and my brother went to UND and he became a UND fan. However with NDSU's recent success he has rooted for NDSU during their run but still roots for UND. I told him last night I'd send him that Pac12 link somebody posted to watch the game. As for the topic of this thread. On top of what others have said, I also think we need to break a big play or two. Maybe broken coverage on Washington's part, or Santiago finds one of those seems he had when he was a freshman and takes one 65 yards to the house. I doubt we will methodically march down the field against Washington so we will need some big plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make the leap to realize liking things makes less stress than hating things and enjoy. So, because I'm younger than you (not sure if this is true, but it could be!), I am less mature. Only when my maturity (with age) blossoms, I will know the true fancy of sport and be less invested and no longer hate my rivals. This sound right? Just clarifying this. Because I have a 92 year old grandpa who would heartily disagree with this. Hating a rival is a part of what makes sports fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d agree with that. I grew up in GF but attended NDSU. I never changed my shade of green though. Where you grew up really does effect your alliances as an adult. That being said someone who never went to either school or grew up in either city may have an identity crisis. Atleast when it comes to which school they root for. I misread your original post. My bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77iceman Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 In all seriousness, I've pondered this question for about ten minutes now. How can they pull off a win? I think it would have to be good old fashioned luck. Some Washington missed field goals, bad snaps, tipped balls . . . etc. One of those "nothing went W's way today" type of games.
