fightingsioux4life Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 How about on the Bison Sioux statewide football and basketball games. It was pretty clear where Mr. Sweeney's loyalties were, very exuberant after a big Sioux play, pretty somber after a big Bison play. Pat Sweeney is no worse than Ed Shultz, Dana Mock and Steve Hallstrom were/are when it comes to the Bison. That's why during the Sioux-Bison games, they would put one broadcaster each from WDAZ and WDAY; to balance out the biases. When it comes to this rivalry; it's UND vs. NDSU, Grand Forks vs. Fargo, brother vs brother, husband vs wife, etc. There isn't anyone in the state with an unbiased bone in their body. I don't think that will change once the rivalry resumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petey23 Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Oh, Does Al Michaels pull for the Sioux on the air too? Dude, not talking about pulling for one team or another....just commenting on how horrible and talentless they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Oh, Does Al Michaels pull for the Sioux on the air too? Sweney pulls for the Sioux no more than Fox Sports North hockey guys (Frank the Rug and Doug Woog) pull for Goldie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck even on neutral games Mazooker & Wooger will pull for somebody. When they do the final 5 they always pick a team to root for. But unless the game is on a national network, most announcers are local guys who will put a little more into their teams announcing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree. Frank and Woogie are the worst at rooting for their team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
