Lakes, this doesn't sound like you. Where is that unique arrogance that we have grown so accustomed to? Or have you just stepped up your troll game and you are baiting us into getting confident? OK, that's probably it.

NDSU welcomes red hot UNI

With how bad we've been recently, I'm glad someone still considers us their rival.

Hopefully the top 10 streak keeps going and get a win this weekend!

NDSU fans have a weird obsession with UNI I can't quite describe. I've been to probably 6 or 7 different games in Fargo over the last few years. I enjoy Fargo, and 98% of the fans up there are freaking awesome. Only once have I worn a UNI shirt. I was shocked at how frequently UNI was brought up. I was up there in a Mississippi Valley State shirt over labor day for that game this year. Some knew who I was, almost every one didn't. Still heard a bunch of UNI talk. No SDSU talk, no UND talk, no Gopher talk. I did hear UNI talked about

It's not that tough to figure out. We always play them very tough and we were the only thing between them and a perfect record a couple times in the past 6 years. A couple more times we likely only lost to them due to a key injury. That's why they probably have a lot more respect for our program than many of our fans do.

It's not "respect" that they have. It's a vitriol that isn't matched by any other team.

A quick skim of Bisonville

-This is our superbowl. No other game matters to UNI except this one.
-"**** UNI!"
"The most satisfying win was the 2011 game when we shut those *******s up!"
-"This is the one game that I enjoy seeing us win more than any other and hate seeing us lose more than any other"
-"SDSU is just sad. Really really despise UNI"
-"I hate UNI...I dislike SDSU"
-"This is the first game i circle every year"
-"SDSU I want to beat with sportsmanship. UNI I want to be destroyed. Make Farley pop blood vessels, rub faces in playing second fiddle to NDSU again"


The things that I've heard when up there aren't along the lines of "UNI, good game. Fun game to watch". It's typically expletive filled, hoping Farley has a heart attack on the sidelines, and just levels of anger that shouldn't exist after winning 5 titles...or even none.

It's a strange group. They are, en masse, digging up draft takes from 18 months ago about Carson Wentz, Jared Goff, etc... and just plastering them all over. Their complex is really strange. I know a Jacksonville State guy that told me NDSU fans are showing up on their board and bumping nearly 2 year old threads to trash talk Wentz beating them in the national title game in 2015.

So, they hate Family Man Mark Farley but idolize Secretary-Bangin' Craig Bohl.

I think I'm starting to understand them more...

Most of their fans are mostly normal people. I really enjoy my time in Fargo when I go. It's just a different breed. They literally have nothing in their lives outside of NDSU football. Having a conversation that can't be steered back to NDSU football doesn't exist. Have a shirt in the closet that isn't NDSU related? Maybe 1. 2 for the extreme fringe of the anit-NDSU football fan.

In some ways that's a good thing - see what kind of money they raise anytime they attach the word football to it.
AD"We need a new track team locker room, how can we fund it?"
AAD "I know, call it the track lockerroom that will be used 3 seconds a year by one football player and we'll have enough for a new track facility completely"

It also creates a culture that is reliant on the football program to an unhealthy level. They are near Penn State level of football program overtaking peoples lives.


Now, as a fan base we are on the other end when it comes to apathy.

There's a happy medium somewhere in there.

Says the guy with almost 21,000 posts between here and AGS. Substitute FCS for NDSU and you have a guy that literally has nothing in his life except FCS/UNI football. A bit hypocritical, isn't it?

Unlike NDSU fans I also post about volleyball, basketball, womens basketball, wrestling, comment on other threads - especially on AGS. Oh and considering I "work" for AGS with the FCS Wedge it's kind of important I stay active there

Its cool Clenz. NDSU fans have a freakin rockstar program going right now, the level of "WINNING" wont be matched anytime soon by anyone. 90-7 and 5 titles.. However, NDSU fans go after UNI so hard, because A) its been a hard fought game everytime B) 2 physical teams that wont back down C) UNI players, coaches & fans that belittled NDSU's move up to FCS and said that NDSU could never dominate the MVFC...

Its gonna be a party tomorrow at tailgate, hopefully some UNI fans make it up there!

So multi-posts/day 365 for clenz = good, NDSU "no life" fans = bad. Got it. Still seems like a dickish statement for you to make. Whatever.

Should be a good game tomorrow. UNI shouldn't have to worry about our delta formation. I don't think we have enough running backs to run it.

Hope all the UNI fans have safe travels. Weather will be crisp, be should have good tailgating.

I've come up with my own theory of why they go after UNI so hard - you're not going to like it (I sure don't). NDSU needs to find something to pique their interest since they are so into their football team. There's just not a lot tied to FCS football that really raises a national pulse in any way (we don't even have the NDSU title string to talk about anymore, thanks to JMU), so "rivalries" take on much more meaning. I don't think are many left on this side of the aisle that are optimistic about where things are headed overall, and for most of us, our interest in FCS football is mostly tied to the Panthers' immediate orbit, therefore some apathy has developed towards the rest of FCS. I used to be interested a few years back if NDSU lost; now I wasn't even aware of where they were ranked coming into this game.

It also might just be the way my interest in this team has waned over the last decade as they've continuously underachieved and disappointed, but I find I'm having a hard time getting as excited for the game. Usually a couple of wins over Top 10 teams with a slight chance for a 3rd in a row would have me excited, but I'm just not feeling it. It could also be because I'm just burned out on football on general. I haven't watched an NFL game in about 2 1/2 years - the CTE, the 3 1/2 hr. games full of commercials, etc. just turned me away from it.

Good luck today - thanks for letting me vent.
