Re: Rivalry

Lakes, WHO were the players that were not suspended for the NDSU game?

Who were these amazing football players that UNI unethically rolled out there as part of a diabolical scheme to beat the unbeatable bison? Name ONE PLAYER.

Re: Rivalry

Bohl said it in a booster luncheon the day before the game... basically saying "UNI has such little class and wants to beat ndsu so bad that they are waiting to suspend 2 kids until after the game"

Wow a coach spinning the truth to motivate his team and supporters? Bet that never happens? Also I'd say that "quote" has "such little class" since Bohl is just throwing a hissy fit since he doesn't know how to beat UNI

Re: Rivalry

I honestly can't think of who it would have been.

Jordan Smith was suspended for the ISU game (from an incident that happened over the summer), but that was two weeks after the NDSU game.

From that Courier story

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Northern Iowa linebacker Jordan Smith has been arrested for assault as a result of a fight over the summer.

Smith allegedly assaulted a man on July 25 in Cedar Falls. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that Smith was arrested Monday and charged with assault without intent to injure.

The 21-year-old junior from Humboldt, Iowa, was suspended and missed the Panthers loss at Iowa State last week.

Coach Mark Farley says in a statement released Tuesday that Smith will be allowed to return to the team this week.

A phone number for Smith could not be located.

So....he wasn't charged before the NDSU game, thus no suspension. He got charged and was then hit was a suspension, as he should have been.

That is the only thing I can think of.

How small are his balls to say anything remotely close to 'UNI had such little class...'??? If that comment is true, that is the height of classlessness.

Re: Rivalry

Lakes...I'm still waiting for who the player was, a link to Bohls quote (what a coach says at a booster luncheon ends up as quotes in papers as well), etc...

Re: Rivalry

Long time reader, first time poster. I'm also a die-hard Bison fan. I figured, what better place to put my first post than in a thread talking about the rivalry between our two teams. First off, I'm a Bison fan that doesn't expect any respect from your fan base for things we accomplished in the 70's, 80's and 90's. That's a great part of our past and tradition, but it's just that, the past. We're in D1 athletics now and it's a whole different ball park. I would agree that our rivalry is much different than the one we currently have with SDSU. I know you hear fans say they "hate" that team, and I'm one of them that feels that way about your team. I really, really, really dislike SDSU, and love beating them, and watching the Bison tote the Marker around after those games is sweet too. I think something that gets under Bison fans skin is the fact your team and fan base dont respect our swagger, which isn't something we're used to. And I know it's because your swagger is more proven and better at this point at this level of football, and we dont like it. There was a period of time, before the Bob Babich era, where we went to places and just figured we were going to win. And then Craig Bohl comes along and we go something like 20-2 over two seasons right before our transition is over, and we think this D1AA business isn't too tough. And then we lose 3 straight to UNI and it hurts, it really does. And not only did we lose last year, we got destroyed, and that doesn't happen much to us either. I don't think this rivalry will ever get close to the one we have with UND (still) which is basically pure hatred, but it could get close. I agree we need to win a couple of games again in this series, and a couple in your building too to really amp it up. Sorry I wrote a book here, just wanted to give you some insight to my thoughts about your team and the rivalry, and not come across as some lunatic from Fargo that only sees things through green and gold glasses.

Re: Rivalry

yes that sounds right, but on the other hand, most bigtime bison fans know the talent on the NDSU teams is above most FCS teams. Injuries, crappy calls (ewu) and O Coord in the last UNI game have been the only things stopping NDSU.

dont worry, UNI will feel the wrath this year.

NDSU rivals:

Minnesota (lost by 1 in last second FG, Pounded them next game, 2011)
SDSU (NDSU owns them in bball 10 straight wins, and SDSU won 2 fb games)
UNI (NDSU lost 3 straight now with 3 very badly played games)
Montana (NDSU beat them, and they have been afraid to play us again)

Re: Rivalry

Wow, the contrast between those two posts just blew my mind...thank you 8>1 for leveling the delusional-Bison-fan to sane-Bison-fan ratio on this message board. I think we're at 100:1* (or 2) now.


*Lakes may or may not count for 99 of those 100 just on sheer stupidity and wackiness.

Thank you for being intelligent... and welcome to our board. With a post like that... you're welcome anytime.

Your first rival proves you know nothing about rivalries. A rival is one that is mutually accepted. I don't care how many times you defeat Minnesota or how many times UNI defeats Iowa State, the fans of those schools will NEVER consider NDSU or UNI a 'rival'.

Re: Rivalry

I'd like to make this Wisky deal a regular thing though. That'd be a fun out of state rivalry.

you're kinda starting to sound like a Bison fan with your use of "rivalry"

What... you play a team once, and it's a rivalry... right?

Re: Rivalry

Thanks for the warm welcome. It's kind of unfortunate most Bison fans get lumped into a group with the likes of Lakes and whoever else trolls your board. I've got the rivalry thing figured out pretty well I think. My dad raised me to be a Bison fan and a Sioux hater. I think the first words I learned as a kid after mommy and daddy were "Sioux Suck". The rivalry with SDSU is nothing compared to that. They moved up into D1 at the same time as us, so we became partners in the transistion. But when they've beaten us at their place like 3 or 4 times in a row now, and even won in Fargo for the first time in my lifetime I think, things have definitely heated up. I can't agree with Lakes on his rivalry list. The Minnesota game is a fun one, because it does give a share of kids on our roster a chance to play against the team that didn't want them. Similar to when you guys play Iowa or Iowa St. I imagine. Puts a little bit of fire underneath some kids, but that's all. The Gopher fans really don't care about us. A rivalry to them is Wisconsin or Iowa. Montana just doesn't really put anyone tough on their schedule out of conference, I don't think they're afraid to play us. I also rarely, if ever, say a bad call cost us a game. The EWU game is a perfect example of that. Bad call at the end? By the ref? No, by our coach. I don't think Brock Jensen should be called upon in that situation. We got 300lb kids on the line and a pretty good RB. Let's run it 4 times right up the middle and if they stop us, they stop us. Man, is it Sept. 3rd yet?
