What is up with the sudden cockiness of a few NDSU fans?

[mlbowl]

Is it based on last seasons success...or the HUGE victory over Austin Peay?...just wondering:)

You will notice that's it's only a couple of them and that is their gimmick and has been since they started posting a couple of months ago. The vast majority are well informed football people that definitely add a lot to the discussions so you will have to suffer the few fools and not associate them with the program's public image. Every program has some tools that we can't do anything about except beat them like a drum and endure their triflin' ways.

[bisonwest]

I admit Bison fans can be cocky. I haven't noticed any more lately though. It is quite amusing that a Griz fan would call us out on it. I mean you guys wrote the the book on cockiness.

Not to mention everyone has to put up with them. Ex: There are so many ASU fans that make me want to bang my head on a wall. xnonono2x

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

NDSU fans can be cocky if they want, not to steal a line from Kid Rock but:

"They say I'm cocky, I say what, it ain't braggin mutha*****er if you back it up"


If I had their team I would brag as well......

You mean the 13 straight division titles, 15 straight playoff appearances, 5 NC appearances, 2 NC's and 198/203 weeks ranked in the top 25 kind of cockiness? xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx

Them's just the facts, ma'am. xsmiley_wix

[FCS Go!]

I haven't noticed anything new. (;) )

There is that annoying guy from Marshall all over the UM-CP thread. You know " Blithering Turd" or whatever.

I never said you don't have a reason to be cocky. We'll just see who's braggin at the end of this season ma'am.:) :) :)

Honestly haven't read a bit of that thread. Probably will now.

[NoCoDanny]

They have always been arrogant and have always had the chip on the shoulder but they disapear when things turn bad but credit to their program they have won a lot over the years and that breeds this sort of stuff.

[Thundering_Herd]

Whom do you speak of? Little ol' me??? I'm as harmless as a 'kitty cat'. And for those who don't know, I'm Blundering Turd now since most don't like the fact that the nickname for the Bison is the Thundering Herd and I use that name here. It reminds them too much of a guy named Marshall who stood them up on a date years ago or something like that. I like to give hell to the Griz fans cause they get worked up so easily, it's hilarious! I don't mind the App State fans cause at least they can laugh at themselves from time to time!

The Griz fans wrote the book on cockiness and they need to read the book 'So,...you can dish it out, but you little girls can't take it? Ten easy steps to being less defensive and getting thicker skin.' God knows EVERYONE is jealous of the Griz cause they are the only team in FCS with die-hard fans and they make all of that money! I'm sorry for going after such a powerful program with a long criminal record. Ooops! I meant a long, proud past! won't happen again...:D :D :D

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Don't lump me in with those peck*rheads,

I think for myself and can call BS on the kool aid drinking myopic maroon fans. Trust me I know exactly who you are talking about.

[AmsterBison]

sudden?

Hahaaha! That was my first thought too. Bison fans have been cocky for 40+ years. Prime example: Coming off a 2-8 season in D2, at least half the guys on Bisonville were still predicting a Bison win at Montana back in '03.

You'd think that since the entire state lives in a flood plain, we'd be at least as good at sandbagging as Georgia Southern fans.

[Wolfman]

http://www.grizzoulian.com/IMG_0313.JPG


Do they still use cow patties from that field behind the stadium as fertilizer for the playing surface? I know that the Bison players get used to it. But, it is an unfair advantage for visiting teams.

Don't embarrass the UM fan base by bragging about meanigless rankings, conference championships in the Pig Sty Conference, or w/l record derived from playing a steady parade of patsies. These fans from other schools are not stupid. They know our playoff record. Stop living in the past. This is the Hauck era, remember? No time for getting cocky in a national forum.

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

What's wrong with givin' each other alittle sh** . Montana is one of the "top dogs" in FCS and NDSU wants to be one. I'm orig from W ND and the Mon/ND rivalry has always been there.....big brother/little brother. Now little brother is getting pretty big.......UM/NDSU should have an annual game.

Old rivals that will now (maybe) start up againxthumbsupx xthumbsupx

This board is for fun and more should treat it that way. Montana has a great program....so does NDSU. NDSU hasn't been in the FCS that long ( I like 1AA betterxsmiley_wix ) but has the resources to be one of the best in this division. Maybe some see the Bison getting too much respect or accolades for not being at this level for long enough.

UM/MSU/NDSU --- great rivals that should play each other more often:D :D

[AZBison]

I'm offended, there are much more than a few cocky NDSU fans thank you very much.

Griz fans hate us cause we took away all of their humility! Some of us obviously gave it away to Georgia Southern's fans though!! :D
Now the Griz fans are damned to a life of over-confidence. So, for you keeping track at home, that's 2 deadly sins committed by Griz fans: 1. PRIDE for their fb program, and 2. LUST for their fluffy companions!!!

I'm sorry Griz fans! Please don't carpet-bomb me with unwitty comebacks!!! OK, for reals,... I'll clean it up! xpeacex

You will not get much response. There is an erie lull over the Griz nation this week, as we prepare for the season to start. I have never witnessed the trepidation and resignation of most Griz fans about this season. The energy has been drained from the fan base. It's really quite sad.

I too find it ironic that a Griz fan would call out NDSU for being arrogant. That being said, NDSU fans are being quite pretentious lately; they haven't achieved a thing at our level (beating IA foes does not count, sorry).

All else aside, NDSU 'shoud' be in the playoffs for their first time in DI history.

[LetsGoSioux!]

I'm actually going to defend NDSU here...wow! Their fans should be cocky, they are the #1 ranked team in the country. They have a very good team. Just wait a few years, UND will be right up there as well, and you will have 2 North Dakota schools to whine about on Internet forums!

Hey Montana: why don't you play either of our squads in ND? Are ya...chicken?

Beating IA teams doesn't count? That doesn't make much sense, sorry. We haven't been allowed to participate in the playoffs....we would have made it the last two years and then who knows what would have happened.

Yes, we have not won a single DI playoff game but to deny that we've been very successfull against DI opponents is to bury your head in the sand or be completely dishonest.

Appy is currently the best FCS program and has a few titles to show for it.....but what are they best known for......beating Michigan in the big house.

All that said, I don't disagree with your main point that a few Bison posters are way over the top.

With 85 schollies....I think the Bison would do just fine. We already proved that we can beat the best in the MAC and with 85 schollies we could finish in the middle of the pack in the BIG 10.

Right now we could do just fine in a lot of the lower FBS conferences.

Oh, yes of course this is how it would be! App. State would have also beaten Florida by a score of 43-35 in last years Capital One bowl. That's some good stuff there. I guess when UM whipped up on Oregon State we proabaly would have finished fairly high in the PAC 10 especially when we had just barely lost at Oregon a couple of years before that.

Agreed, FBS talk and comparisons are foolish at this point. Note; We didnt even win our conference last year! Lets win a FCS NC first, then that kind of talk will be somewhat acceptable...

[JBB]

If I hadnt heard from a very very reliable source first hand that FBS (D1A at the time) was the long term goal, 10 years or so, for NDSU football I would agree with you.

[Hammerhead]

Why should any team fans not be cocky when they only have 1 loss in each of the past two seasons? And why shouldn't they be proud of a team that is 3-1 against FBS teams over that same time period?

[Drblankstare]

NDSU has a winning program right now. To certain fans on this board, that means a free pass to make sure everyone knows about it. Personally I dont think its any worse than any other schools fans...................... Okay maybe its a little worse. xlolx xlolx xlolx

[NoCoDanny]

ND State has taken three or four FBS teams behind the woodshed the last couple years and they deserve huge props for that but to think that translates to doing it week in and week out is a big leap. So yeah it's one thing to come in under the radar and overlooked and pull an upset and another to play a Big 10 schedule every year and compete. Please though dude I'd love to have some of what you're smoking.

[Hammerhead]

If I'm remembering correctly, NDSU has beaten Montana the last 2 times we played. Therefore our fans earned the rights to take pot shots. xnodx

Not smoking anything...dude. Read my post. "IF" NDSU had a full 85 schollies they could compete.

Grizz could do the same thing...full 85 schollies could compete in many 1A conferences.

Big 10 (11) has some crap teams.....Minn, Indiana, NW and some mediocre teams...Iowa, MSU, Purdue, Ill, ......like I said before...Grizz and Bison, I believe, if they had 85 schollies could do pretty darn well. BSC contenders...no but very respectable.

[NDSUFREAK]

i dont associate with those NDSU fans that have a bad rep on here haha

[4mcrue]

Not really sure where to start, I utmost respect U of M, Ga so., APP, and those programs that show excellence at this level. I also (god am I saying this) support our brothers to the north when people bash ND teams. We have tradition here in North Dakota, we were equal to Montana til you guys had some more cash and insight, better leadership and moved up without us. Well, we finally saw the light. I don't condone the cocky ndsu fans, but I guess we finally said "who's next".
8 national championships: 1965, 1968, 1969, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1990
2 harlon hill trophy winners (#1, best QB in DII history, #10 not far behind)
24 conference championships, 26 years in the top 17 of the national polls, 23 years in post season action, and 351-92-4 over that span.
Yes, we had some down years, we came from a tough conference (UND, USD, SDSU), but we are here now. And like it or not, NDSU and eventually UND are gonna punch some teams right in the mouth.

[Thunderstruck84]

NDSU is no where close to realisticly making the jump to 1A at this point. We have great facilities for an FCS school but to move to FBS we'd need a new stadium first and foremost. I don't doubt that it is the long term goal but it's going to be a while before we can legitimately make that jump.

I love Bison football as much as anyone but a lot of our fans and other teams fans forget that if your team is really that good you won't have to tell everyone about it while pounding your chest for it to be realized.

[4mcrue]

FBS, no way, I even understand how much a school like U of M makes, and has been bragged about in threads on bisonville, egriz, and AGS of how many millions they gross. BUT, a move to FBS? I will believe it when I see it. As far as the Herd, we gotta beat some teams at this level first.

Is it based on last seasons success...or the HUGE victory over Austin Peay?...just wondering:)

If that's not the pot calling the kettle black!!!xnodx xlolx

NDSU is no where close to realisticly making the jump to 1A at this point. We have great facilities for an FCS school but to move to FBS we'd need a new stadium first and foremost. I don't doubt that it is the long term goal but it's going to be a while before we can legitimately make that jump.

I love Bison football as much as anyone but a lot of our fans and other teams fans forget that if your team is really that good you won't have to tell everyone about it while pounding your chest for it to be realized.


Many of these Griz fans are living in past glory of playing for the national championship five times in a ten-year period. Those days are long gone. We are lucky to win a home playoff game now, since the dumbing-down process has taken place by Hauck.

Not really sure where to start, I utmost respect U of M, Ga so., APP, and those programs that show excellence at this level. I also (god am I saying this) support our brothers to the north when people bash ND teams. We have tradition here in North Dakota, we were equal to Montana til you guys had some more cash and insight, better leadership and moved up without us. Well, we finally saw the light. I don't condone the cocky ndsu fans, but I guess we finally said "who's next".
8 national championships: 1965, 1968, 1969, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1988, 1990
2 harlon hill trophy winners (#1, best QB in DII history, #10 not far behind)
24 conference championships, 26 years in the top 17 of the national polls, 23 years in post season action, and 351-92-4 over that span.
Yes, we had some down years, we came from a tough conference (UND, USD, SDSU), but we are here now. And like it or not, NDSU and eventually UND are gonna punch some teams right in the mouth.

Please don't read too much into this...I have nothing but respect for
the NDSU programxnodx

Nothing else to do in North Dakota except go inside and watch football. What do you expect?

I have been a member of this board 3 years longer than you have. Just because I don't have over 1,000 posts about how my team can beat up your team doesn't make me a newbie.

It hurts to hear the truth, I know.

Granted, I am jealous that UNC can't seem to draw nearly the amount of fans that NDSU can.
