We have had issues like this for years. Pretty much because we sucked so bad for decades that there was little to cheer about. But there is a lot to say about level of competion. Nebraska and Texas tech in 2002 were perhaps the 2 best game atmospheres we have had that didn't include Iowa. 2005 Colorado as well.
Anyone heard from Huckleberry (LakeBison)???

- The crowd was good, but a lot of people sat on their hands and didn't raise their voices. That will change next week.
- I opted not to tailgate with any NDSU fans (I don't have a good history of interacting with the opposition and can easily come off like jerk after I've had a few). Regardless, the NDSU fans did a decent job of representing. I guarantee there won't be that many Baylor fans at JT, possibly the same thing with CU.
- The only thing NDSU dominated yesterday was jean shorts and Wal-Mart brand knockoff team t-shirts.
- NDSU will probably win 7-8 games this year. They're a decent team and Pachall looked pretty good. Yes, things would have been different if you didn't fumble on the one and the ball bounced this way or that way, but that's football. For every bad bounce NDSU had, ISU had their bad bounce or "what if" to counter.
- Glad you had a good time and I hope that trip back to Fargo wasn't too rough.

Well, lets face it, a lot of this crowd probably came in after a whole day at work. Theyre gonna be a bit worn out before they even make it in the stadium, so the cheering might not get as much, especially as you get later in the night.
I will say the crowd wasn't up to par last night. Every year I wish we had some more rabid fans outside the student section, but that just isn't the way ISU fans are (sadly). Last night, on the whole, the crowd didn't have the electricity or spark or whatever you want to call it.
That said, I'm sure we will bring it next week.
Go State! (and UNI this week)

Interesting. We were commenting in our tailgate area how few Bison fans were there. We did meet a few good fans. There was a guy in our Section (20) that we were all making fun of (to ourselves) because he didn't know how to clap. Good times.
Mr. LakeBison. What you have posted is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this website is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.
Somebody skimmed . . .
I think this may have had a little effect on things. I know I was pretty beat after being up at 6 to work, going to class, starting tailgating at 1, drinking a pretty fair amount, and then stumbling in to the stadium way to late by my standards and being way to far away. Which was initially a pretty good buzz kill for me.
I was pretty taken back at how full the student section was 30 minutes in, filled with tons of freshman who still need to learn a little about Big 12 football.
But definitely the closer to the field you are in the student section, typically the better the energy is. That is why I go into games early to make sure I'm in the first 20 rows at least (36 last night . . .) and I refuse to sit in the upper deck. I'll find a space for myself before I join friends in the upper deck.
Yea, so to recap:
Your crowd wasn't loud, they didn't know how or when to cheer, you're donor section fans sitting in daddy's seats were clueless.
Your tailgating was average at best, the whole front of G2 at intersection was NDSU flags and busses.
Our O Line ran over your sorry *** D line, and we got SCREWED with the fumble at the start of the 2nd quarter, put THAT and our QB fumble away from the scoreboard, and its 31-27 NDSU.

You promised only one post. I guess we now know that you are dishonest as well as ignorant.
He's probably already been banned from the next opponent's boards so he's back here to feed his habit.
