    UNI: SIU's Pigskin Version of Creighton

    http://www.thesouthern.com/articles/2008/09/27/sports/26051945.txt


    Good read. These people hate UNI football. I don't think we quite understand it, but I know that SIU fans can't stand UNI athletics, but I think they have a great respect for our fanbase. We don't get in the verbal sparring matches against SIU like Creighton does.
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    I really like the rivalry that we have with SIU. Like you said, not the hatred between fanbases, but insense competition on the field between two good teams.

      BTW, I thought it was kind of funny how they said in the article that UNI and SIU have won the conf. title "a combined 16 times". Making it sound like an even competition. They fail to mention 13 of those are UNI's.

        Creighton has the best facilities in Basketball. UNI and NDSU have the Best Football facilities.
        "We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."

          Just wait until we play NDSU. Our two teams have won the league a combined 13 times!

          Don't forget about the epic rivalry with Indiana State. The two programs have combined for 13 league titles.

            I would'nt be surprised if some bison fans actually can spin it in a way that they actually believe that they have won a Valley title.

              I somewhat disagree with this. Creightons basketball facility is not owned by them, they just use it. Same with the Fargo Dome. Whereas, the UNI Dome is UNI's and is also right on campus.

                This is correct. It would be like Drake playing at Wells Fargo and claiming to have one of the best facilities.

                It's a good facility...but it's not yours. An almost entirely meaningless distinction, but it should be a source of pride for UNI that our building is equal to privately owned, big-dollar, newer facilities elsewhere.

                  Fair enough. I understand both your points. However, a new 18,000 seat arena is the best facility in the conf whether the University or City owns it....
