So who do we cheer for?

Re: So who do we cheer for?

I don't get why I should have to cheer for a team just because they are in our conference. As a Cubs and Bears fan it will be a cold day in hell that I would ever cheer for the Cardinals, Packers or Viqueens. The same applies to this. I'm not a MVFC fan, I'm a Panther fan.

+1

You will never see me root for the Packers, Bears, Lions, or Creighton.

cheer for NDSU, we give you a lot of smack, but in the end, conference is like family and we are cousin's that hate each other.

montana was really bad (AT TIMES) this year and got on a roll (like ndsu last year) Sam Houston has no idea whats gonna hit them with 8000-10000 ndsu fans down there.

The Grizz are a good team but they are not All-World when they get out of Wash-Grizz stadium.

You guys didn't exactly blow anyone out on the road this year. NDSU gives up too many points and SHSU scores too many points for the Bison to win this one.

Isn't SHS's campus less than 200 miles from Frisco? They just might have a few people at the game. Irregardless, go Bison!

Yes, but people in Texas have the U of Texas, A&M, Texas Tech, SMU, TCU Baylor, and other FBS programs fighting for their attention, not to mention the Cowboys and Texans. North Dakota has, well, NDSU.

Go away. You are good for only one reason. You remind us that we need to work hard to make the world a better place because there are still people out there that are homophobic, racist, political nutballs, ignorant, and wear ugly shirts. Thanks for the constant reminders.

Yea, I know, huh. I mean, why would we want to have a conference like the SEC that has teams compete in the National Championship every year? Why would we want our CO-Champions from our conference winning the Championship if we can't?

We should all complain about the Valley getting the shaft come playoff time and then cheer against the only other team from our conference that got in.

GO BISON!!!!

In 14 games we have given up 185 points for a 13.2 av/game.

We give up too many points? Really?

I'll take our defense in this one.



UNI had a good defense this year also: 247 points in 13 games for a 19 av/game.

State population of Texas 25,145,561
State population of North Dakota 646,844

SHS has 17,000 students
NDSU has 14,000 students

SHS is 199.79 miles from Frisco, Texas
Fargo is 1,065 miles from Frisco, Texas

Hopefully it will be a sellout, ESPN's telecast is everything it should be and the game is close and exciting. Go Bison

I will be rooting for our conference mates but I'm not going to enjoy it.

I would consider myself a "poor loser" but on the other hand a "good sport."
It is disappointing that we are not in the National Championship Game and I hate that we earlier lost to NDSU in the regular season. My disappointment and feelings about losing are because of my competitive nature. My wife thinks that I'm not much better than a 3 year old not getting their way. In fact my wife will leave me alone during Panther games especially if the game is not going well. When the game is over, however, my good sport mentality takes over and I soon can appreciate the effort of the Panthers and the opponent's ability in the outcome of the game. Life goes on win or lose.

As far as the Bison, I will say that if you are judging their fans on what they say here is my take:

The rudest thing that we had said to us as we walked to the Fargo Dome this year was by one of three youngsters playing on a dirt pile. After recognizing us as Panther fans one of the three yelled "IOWA SUCKS!!!" I wish more people had been able to see his reaction when I yelled back "YOU'RE RIGHT! IOWA DOES SUCK! The look on that child's face was priceless! I added, YOU'RE PLAYING NORTHERN IOWA! Other than that one comment by an elementary age person, I've never had a bad word spoken to me by any opponent's fans and I've been to a great many Panther games home and away for the last 40 years.

So being a good sport "Go Bison"
