What’s NDSU’s record against the Griz outside of the Fargodome? Winless since like 2003. It’s pathetic how the only time you will come to Missoula now is if it is forced by the NCAA in the playoffs. You’re lucky Kaminski got the yips and Chase Mason was injured so you aren’t forced to come to Missoula this season.

The funniest part is we should be irrelevant to you yet here you are😂😂😂.

Also, not only do you not make us pay rent, we should get a per diem for allowing your useless drivel here.

It is clear NDSU is a top rival of ours and vice versa because we are by far and away the best 2 programs all time in the FCS. NDSU has had the best run over the past 15 years and won the most championships but the Griz have had the most sustained success with playoff appearances over 40 years. There is no other program besides these 2 that can claim to be the top of the FCS over a long period of time not just the current season. As such the Griz will always be considered a rival to the Bison and Bison a rival to the Griz.
 
Meh. The blueprint for success was the triple option when GSU dominated, then it was App State's spread option.
The best thing NDSU has done is continue with the same offense through multiple coaching regimes.
Montana literally changed its offense everytime it had a new head coach over the last two decades and left several players unutilized or underutilized in the process. It's been brutal. Maybe the portal era makes that transition easier because players are shed more easily, but to ditch what was successful was absolutely foolish.
 
Here are some clear, fun, and eye-opening examples that show 2003 was a long time ago:














Technology








  • No iPhones — the first iPhone wouldn’t come out for another four years (2007).
  • MySpace was the big social network, and Facebook didn’t yet exist (launched in 2004).
  • Most people still used flip phones, texting with T9.
  • YouTube didn’t exist yet (launched 2005).
  • Blu-ray didn’t exist, and DVDs were still the dominant format.
  • iTunes Store had just launched in 2003, selling 99-cent songs.
  • Dial-up internet was still common.
















Entertainment & Pop Culture








  • The top movie was Finding Nemo — its original release.
  • The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King was brand new.
  • Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond were still airing new episodes.
  • The first Pirates of the Caribbean movie came out.
  • Beyoncé had just gone solo with Crazy in Love.
  • DVD box sets were how most people binged shows.
  • Cameras on phones were rare and extremely low quality.
















Sports








  • LeBron James was a rookie in the NBA (drafted June 2003).
  • Tom Brady had only 1 Super Bowl ring at the time.
  • The Houston Texans were only in their second NFL season.
  • The NHL still didn’t have shootouts (that started in 2005).
  • The Washington Wizards still had Michael Jordan (his final season ended in April 2003).
















World & Daily Life








  • Gas was about $1.50 per gallon in the U.S.
  • Most cars still had CD players, not aux ports or Bluetooth.
  • Google was just a search engine, not an ecosystem.
  • Blockbuster Video was still thriving.
  • People still carried paper maps, MapQuest printouts, or early Garmin GPS units.
















Random but striking








  • The average person used AIM or MSN Messenger to chat.
  • People still developed film when taking vacation photos.
  • Netflix mailed DVDs to your house.
  • Pluto was still a planet (demoted in 2006).

This tells you how amazing LeBron is. Still playing a relevant role in the NBA .
I just read of another elder incredible athlete still going for it. Lindsay Vonn made her World Cup debut at age 16 on November 18, 2000. She is back again this year racing Downhill and GS.
Interesting how much technology has come and gone yet there are still humanoids accomplishing amazing things.

FatBison,
You remind me of a guy we ran into at a NoDakota rest stop west of Fargo. He was a pudgy little fellow probably in his mid to late 50"s about 5'6" with a balding head and a walrus like mustache.
He was all decked out in his ndsu bison letterman jacket that included patches for all the championships the bison have bought.
He wasn't there to use the rest stop as intended but instead he was going from visitor to visitor showing off the jackets with it's awards and bragging just how magnificent the ndsu bison are.
I noticed many he spoke to were annoyed by him but were too polite to tell him to go ef himself. Fortunately we were in a hurry to get out of the flatlands and back to Montana because he didn't get to us or I may have needed bail money.
What an obnoxious little male rooster sucker and I honestly felt bad for him and wondered what would cause a person to act like that.
Then the reason came to me. First he was a NoDakotan and that is a miserable thing but even worse he was a bison fan which greatly compounded his misery.
But it seems common for bison fans to act like that, like the north end of a southbound horse. I can remember seeing one group of bison fans pictured draping a ndsu bison flag over the "Welcome to Montana" sign on their way to losing in WaGriz.
Or just as bad, some miserable bison fan whose life is so dreadful that that fan feels satisfied trolling on another teams website. Despicable. But upon thinking about it, I realized it may be appropriate to give a little mercy and understanding because after all they are North Dakota.
Who knows you may just he that little rooster sucker from the rest stop?

When you experience the wind blowing 50 mph every second of every day and there's not a single tree to stop it, you begin to understand the hairy cow mentality. When you drive on a highway for 150+ miles and don't have to turn the steering wheel once, you begin to understand the hairy cow mentality. When your cousin may be your wife or your sister or niece, you begin to understand the hairy cow mentality. When all your smartest and most ambitious people move to Minnesota for work, you begin to understand the hairy cow mentality.
