I Don't Know About You...

...but especially after reading AGS, I'm developing a deep and abiding dislike (hatred?) for UD fans.

What a classless bunch.

Oh, and even after bullying & whining to get a set of tapes on Sunday they lobbied for and got their game against SIU moved to Saturday. Pretty good campaigning for every unfair adavantage they can get, if you ask me.

Re: I Don't Know About You...

I don't think the FANS had much to do with the NCAA switching the semifinal games. And the switch does make sense. It isn't really any sort of unfair advantage, since that was one of the two possible game times anyway.

The hubbub over the tape thing is definitely annoying. Though frankly, I'd bet UNI fans would get just as cranky if we heard about the same thing happening to Farley if the situation was reversed. (and despite what Keeler said in his quote, you KNOW Delaware, or any other team, would wait for the NCAA to mandate/approve the tape exchange)

But yeah, there are plenty of reasons to dislike UD. I mean, there are plenty of great Blue Hen fans, but unfortunately it's the rude ones that raise the most stink and leave a bad impression in most peoples minds.

Re: I Don't Know About You...

Right that wasn't the fans who lobbied to change the game time -- I guess I wasn't too clear on that.

Keeler's quote made me laugh. I, too, can promise all sorts of things when I know I don't have to deliver on them. Somehow I have a hard time visualizing him asking for anything nicely. I don't know about you, but how someone asks for my help will greatly influence how far out of the way I go for them.

Ah, well. In the end, I guess it's good to have a nice rivalry ready to go for the next time we play UD.

Right about that. They are now close to Montana level in teams that we will look forward to playing again.

Sorry EverLoyal...

I don't think we need to add the fine fans of the Coyotes of South Dakota...

I posted my resulting thoughts on the end to the season, and UD, here

No need for me to go over it again. For me, it had quite an impact.

Oh yeah we do!! They may be in transition but will be at 58 of the possible 63 scholarships available. And will be hungry for the Panthers.

As a matter of fact, ALL of the Dakota teams as well right now need to be on that list. Do people not remember what happened in 2006 when the fighting Sioux came to Cedar Falls? All four of the Dakota teams want to go back to the NCC days and heat up their rivalry with UNI. They all look at UNI as the family member that left the fold back in the 70's and they still remember and want to open old wounds. NDSU thinkks they are better than UNI right now. And now that SDSU beat the Bison in the last game of the season they will be looking to use that game to launch their season and no better way to beat the "former #1 team" two years in a row.
