doclenz Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Go to SDSU's board, then to football-Southern game. The post by the Southern fan is unbelievable. If this is an example of how the move to D1aa is as much about academics as athletics, the students at SDSU and NDSU should graduate. Quote
Wilbur Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Ohh my gosh...... That fan from Southern University is an idiot..... http://diaafootball.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB....66956;start=0#0 Seriously.... Quote
WYOBISONMAN Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 I have found the DI-AA fans to be a great group of fans. They are excited about thier teams an anxious to travel to our part of the world to support thier teams....and very welcoming and giving lots of helpful travel advice when we visit them. Quote
teamsioux Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 That's wonderful, I get the warm fuzzies just reading about it. Quote
WYOBISONMAN Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 What's up teamsioux.....can't have a civil conversation?? Quote
teamsioux Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 WOW,who wasn't being civil? I just felt all your thoughts were wonderful and cannot believe you shared those DI thoughts with us lowly DII fans. We are truly blessed to have you share this with us. Quote
tony Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Dunno what he said, Mad Baser. There were a number of Southern U. fans posting there (Earle, Blue Dog, Jagster, Jax1906, LilJag). I'm not sure which one didn't meet doclenz's standards. Earle admitted to not knowing anything about the Dakotas. Liljag wrote like he or she was posting a text message. They all seemed like extremely friendly people who probably would not go around mocking people behind their backs. (Considering I had about twenty grammatical errors in this post before trying to fix it just now, maybe I missed the funny post because I didn't recognize the flaws) Quote
PCM Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 For once, I find myself in agreement with Tony. I read through the entire thread at diaafootball.com and never saw what doclenz thought was so funny. Quote
WYOBISONMAN Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 It does seem odd when we agree with the Sioux fans....heck, on D2 I havehad to state the obvious and say I think the Sioux will sweep the NCC.... Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 For once, I find myself in agreement with Tony. I read through the entire thread at diaafootball.com and never saw what doclenz thought was so funny. I read the whole thing also and have no idea what is supposed to be so funny. Quote
BigGame Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 I am pretty sure that it is in reference to things like South Dakota is on the Canadian border. (which would put North Dakota in Canada and a Province not a state) I am pretty sure he thought the lack of knowledge about the area to be pretty funny. I find it mildly humorous, what I find more funny is that quite a few people outside the midwest don't realize that North Dakota and South Dakota are actually 2 different states. Quote
PCM Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Nobody in the thread said that North Dakota and South Dakota were one state. A Southern University fan, who admitted that he knew nothing about South Dakota (a big surprise to all you Louisiana experts out there, I'm sure), said that one of the Dakotas is located "just south of the Canadian border." Based on the sentence structure, he could have been referring to either North Dakota or South Dakota. I'm guessing that he meant North Dakota because the north-south thing provides a rather obvious clue. Quote
Mad Baser Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Very few people are very familiar with the Dakotas. The 2 states are not exactly tourist havens, with exception to the faces. It's kinda like asking you guys about, say, Vermont. Or Alaska. You get the picture. And before you start flaming me, I am a southern boy, but I used to live in your town. I used to have a nice apartment off of Demers, and had to fight the state bird (mosquito) on a daily basis in the summer. And yes, I know what -40 feels like. And no, I didnt know a dadburn thing about ND or SD before I moved there Quote
BigGame Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Indeed it would be great for SU fans to find out what life is like in the upper midwest. One thing is for sure, SU people know very very very little about South Dakota. Myself, I know that S.D. is the sister state to North Dakota and is located just south of the Canadian border. A city called Sioux (or is it Fargo) is your largest city. I am not familiar with the city of Brookings. I know absolutely nothing else abour S.D. Here is the quote from Earle, who actually sounds like a nice guy and a very good fan for his school. The way I read it is that he is talking about SD and mentions ND but continues on with what he knows about SD, and that happens to be it is located just south of the canadian border. It is possible he is refering to ND, but its not likely considering ND only involved in his statement because it's "the sister state of SD" Why do the states need to be considered female, does Title IX have something to do with this Quote
PCM Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Either way, it doesn't matter. South Dakota is south of the Canadian border. It depends on what the definiton of "just south" is. Quote
UND-GARY Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 He may have been talking about this one from Lil Jag: "u can tailgate just about anywhere on campus. U will know what area u should not be in because it will be rope off. My advice get there early to get a good spot. The people who have RV's has the best spots. After the work is finish to the endZone area. The stadium will look wonderful. sept 25 is just around the corner. ARE U READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL." Quote
PCM Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 So SU has its own version of "siouxrock." Pot. Kettle. Black. Quote
WYOBISONMAN Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Everyone has to have one of those guys, hell we got Bisonfan1234.... Quote
Mad Baser Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Ohh my gosh...... That fan from Southern University is an idiot..... http://diaafootball.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB....66956;start=0#0 Seriously.... All this speculation, why not just go to the source. Which Southern fan is an idiot and what specific post/comment inspired you to say that? Quote
BigGame Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 I don't think the fans are idiots (but every team does have some of those) It just seems slightly humorous about the lack of knowledge for the area, which is somewhat expected. Is defining "just" a lot like defining "is" If thats the case, I live in Texas which is just south of the Canadian border. Just a quick drive to pick up some smarties, coffee crisp and molson. Quote
BigGame Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 Actually, I am pretty sure we are the idiot fans for even discussing this topic. Quote
doclenz Posted July 23, 2004 Author Posted July 23, 2004 UND-Gary and Wilbur got it! I was commenting on the fellows or gals use of the english language or lack of it and comparing its brilliance with how the two schools harped about how this was as much or more and educational move as athletic. If that was true based on the jags sentence structure, grammer etc. we can expect big things educationally from NDSU and SDSU. As the topic says....for a laugh. The Bisonettes take everything so seriously. Quote
