It probably has something to do with where we moved. If there is a Mecca of football, Texas would be it. Alabama fans seemed very closed off to rest of the NCAA outside of the SEC.

Alaska Griz said:Big G said:Next to my hatred for the Cats the Bison are the number two most classless fan base that I despise. I am so glad there run is over, now we do not need to hear about them again and they can slide back too where they belong.
Their runs not over until someone else ends it...

Well it deffenetly appears I'm in the minority here. It just points out a little more how outta touch the Tide fans are. GAWD I love it when they lose!ordigger said:alabamagrizzly said:Uhh ya.

I agree, Alabama is a small pond. I've lived in Alaska, Montana, Washington, Oregon, California, Oklahoma, Texas, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts....and EVERYONE knows about FCS...and you might be surprised how many know exactly who the Griz are. I've heard Go Griz in regard to attire I've worn from an airport in Hartford, CT, to a parking lot in Bakersfield, CA to a park on the South Island in New Zealand.

Big G, just want to know, in your opinion, when our run ended?
I enjoyed Fales videos. Coming from dumb Norwegian joke country, I get this kind of humor.
Don't know if my wife and I will make it to the Griz game. Its your game or Brookings this year. Haven't decided. Would like to see your stadium, atmosphere and tailgate. Understand they are awesome.
Pump the brakes there big dog. You're presently great but your not the "end all be all" of the FCS. Other dynastys(Geo Sou and App St, not Montana) have come and gone and you will too and the FCS will still be riding in the rumble seat of the car that the BCS drives. We are on ESPN cus they want to show football(and make money) a week earlier then the BCS allows and they found a loop hole with the FCS. It's NOT cus the biSon are playing football.2011BisonAlumni said:Andy made a video earlier in the year about NDSU and the FCS being a joke and basically how Iowa State was going to destroy them. I think he had more than his fair share of crow and just can't get NDSU off his mind. You would think coming off a win against KU in basketball, he would have KU on his mind, not NDSU.
I don't care if you hate NDSU, they have brought a lot to the table for all the FCS. I seriously doubt Montana would be showcasing their stadium live on ESPN this fall if NDSU wasn't coming to town.

Big G said:Ndsu is old news, they will struggle next year with all of the talent they had leaving on defense and the rb graduating. Griz will beat you by a couple td's next season on national tv. Go back to your own board and get some help with the inferiority complex all of you buffalo fans seem to have.
