Re: Bison/Panthers 2014

It smelled that way in first half too. Does anyone know why?

Re: Bison/Panthers 2014

I agree all fan bases have their idiots but where I sat for that game was full of this type. We actually had to move up higher later in the game because the guy in front of us smelled so bad and we got tired of looking at his plummers crack. The group he was with taunted UNI fans whenever they went up and down the isle.

One guy further down yelled at our group to "Get the f out of town" when we left to get food before half and I asked him how he liked the indoor plumbing we had in Iowa. Then he wanted to fight me but of and when I told him I was ready when he was he and three friends stood up and told me to come on ever.

Just a giant bunch of white trash is what I encountered that night. It even sucked when you'd try to go to the bathroom and Bison fans were blocking the entrance on purpose and were doing chants. Maybe a different segment of their fans base were at the game last night but it was brutal two years ago in our area.

Here's my story from the game I posted in the game thread. They all wanted to be your buddy before the game and when they thought they could come back, but boy that changed in a hurry.



NSDU fans (around me anyway, section G row 38) were nice/personable to begin with. One didn't know who Illinois State was...which I found...odd. As soon as the Bizzzzzzzzzon punted in the 4th quarter though they all turned on me.

One guy kept yelling, "Why is their coach talking to the ref!? Oh another penalty better go talk to their coach!" Over and over. So then when Klieman was out on the field I asked him (in a normal voice, it was clear that UNI was going to win) "Whose coach is out on the field now?" I even meant it as kind of a joke.

So he kind of stuttered over an answer, I'm not even sure if he said anything, because his friend who was right behind me the entire game said, "I'll knock you the f**k down there. Shut up. Come to our house and we'll beat you."

So I was a little stunned, he was fairly nice before hand, so all I said was, "Really?" And my brother said, "Really? Just relax."

Also an older NDSU fan turned around and yelled at some 7-ish year-olds to leave him alone, which I found odd. To be fair they might have known the kids, it wasn't really clear to me.

Anyway that's my big bad NDSU fan story. They left about 5 minutes after that. Only two NDSU fans that I saw stayed in our section.

Also I've never really sat anywhere but the student section before, and boy are some of the folks in the crowd quiet. I was not.

Re: Bison/Panthers 2014

They were a hotheaded and rude group when they came in, and then they convinced themselves they were never going to lose again. Until UNI pushed their turds in, and now they're all butthurt.

I don't know if anyone else can beat them, but the aura of invincibility is gone. A title isn't the foregone conclusion it looked like it was.

They're a good team, and are 9-1 for a reason. That said, from what I witnessed I could easily see someone knocking them off in the second or so round of the playoffs. If they run into a team that's dynamic enough offensively to force them to play catch up, they'll be doing something they are clearly uncomfortable with...going into full time pass blocking mode and flinging the rock around in a high risk, high reward style. Running a QB draw on 3rd and 8, punting with 2:30 left down by 3 scores, etc. That's Kirk Ferentz style play calling, not attacking. I read those and other related things as them basically admitting a weakness. My money says someone else exploits that weakness and beats them.

1 play sums up the game......DJ running right through number 20 who if you listen to NDSU fans is Superman in a bison uniform....so fun to watch that guy flat on his back having no clue what just hit him

Yes. That was fantastic. He absolutely trucked him, made him look like a HS kid.

This game tape would be a best seller if we could charge for it.

Re: Bison/Panthers 2014

I think the Bison are fine unless they run into someone with a defense and run game like us, snd I'm not sure who that is.

Re: Bison/Panthers 2014

Eastern Washington vs NDSU would be an interesting contrast in styles - especially if the game was played indoors, taking the weather out to the equation. That said, I would favor the hairy cows.

Re: Bison/Panthers 2014

Be tough for EWU to score if their defense can't get off the field.

TP is right. We're the only team that challenges them if we see them again and it better not be in the 2nd round...

Re: Bison/Panthers 2014

I often criticize “Soundoff” with Keith Murphy and the entire WHO-TV Channel 13 sports department for their lack of UNI coverage. No matter the sport.

I’ll give credit where it’s earned. Wearing purple and UNI garb, they tried making the Panthers the center of the conversation Sunday evening (although several callers wanted to talk those other teams who lost Saturday). And Andy Fales… as expected took a handful of shots at North Dakota.

Murphy's Law (skip to the 2:00 mark)

Re: Bison/Panthers 2014

That was pretty much all about hating on NDSU because they beat ISU, not much love for UNI. Same as how those two morons hate UNI when we beat ISU, or pretty much any other time we do anything to distract from the UI/ISU 24/7 promotion.

Yeah, I agree. I liked it and thought it was funny, but still. It was way more about slamming NDSU than anything else.

Re: Bison/Panthers 2014

I know on their sports that night, on the day of one of UNIs biggest regular season wins ever, they declared it black saturday. Because the other two state schools lost, like that is all that rare. When we win and the other two lose I call it a perfect football saturday.
