Petition for LakesBison

[UNIdad]

Can we have a temporary lifting of the ban on Lakes? Yes, he is a bit annoying, but he brings energy and interaction to the site. But at the core, he is a knowledgeable and passionate fan.

Or maybe just limit him to posting in a single thread. If he violates it, then reinstate the ban. In that way, people who don't want to interact with him can just ignore that thread. Simple.

Free Lakes!

Lakes was banned?

Re: Petition for LakesBison

I'm assuming Lakes was banned. It has been almost 24 hours since anyone posted in the Game thread. Surely that wouldn't happen with a Free Lakes roaming around. If nothing else, he will bring some energy to the site.

Re: Petition for LakesBison

I agree. Where is that furry bison that we love to hate? The rivalry just doesn't feel right without his banter.

Re: Petition for LakesBison

Meh. I could take him or leave him. Sometimes he's funny. Sometimes he's annoying. He's better than some of the Bison fans I've seen here...why not?

Re: Petition for LakesBison

Well, at least Lakes knows who to call to run his petition campaign.


Too soon?

Re: Petition for LakesBison

Yeah, it appears he's banned. If you find a random post of his, it says Banned under his name... Same for Ban as well.

Pretty sad that you guys need Lakes to "pump up" your Game thread and bring energy to your fan forum before the biggest game of the season against a conference foe in the playoffs. Must be basketball season or something...

Yup. We've had a pretty large contingent (myself included at times) that have been pretty down on the offensive philosophy and Farley's long-term future here this season.

I've chosen to try to get by the fact that he can't seem to put teams away in a close game in the 4th qtr. and feels that a running QB who doesn't pass well is the only way to run an offense, and just root like heck for them since they're my team and it's the playoffs. I don't know if others have bought in.

Let's face it: Especially coming off of the KU win a few years back and most recently the 31 win team that finished in the top 10 nationally, we're a basketball school right now that happens to have a pretty solid football team. That's especially true since our success in basketball has come against the top level of competition in the sport (i.e. not in a football subdivision). I'm sure the energy will pick up if we happen to win tomorrow, but this is Ben Jacobson's world right now.

Re: Petition for LakesBison

I hadn't even noticed he was gone. But then again, I've never minded lakes a whole lot. He's definitely someone who can get under the skin a bit, but overall he's pretty respectful and seems to want the best for UNI, right after NDSU.
Ban on the other hand... he keeps me away from threads because he seems to bait people into getting off topic. Keep that ban in place, and I'll be happy. Lakes... I couldn't care less.

Re: Petition for LakesBison

I will admit that I prefer Lakes to Ban.

It's a lesser of two evils I suppose. Lakes has certainly toned himself down since he first came onto this board

Re: Petition for LakesBison

I would say to free him after the game. Although we won't hear from him after the Panther beat down later today.
