I don't mean to start another thread to bash Grand Forks and UND. Because I'm really pretty tired of all of that.

Well, maybe I do intend to start that kind of thread. Otherwise, I should let a sleeping dog lie.

But I couldn't help notice the contrast in headlines over the exact same story on the Youngstown game in the Forum and in the GF Herald:

Forum: "March of the Penguins"

Herald: "Penguins Run Over Bison"

Figures. Tell me there's not a prevailing "rub your noses in it" attitude at the Herald. Nothing wrong with the headline, I suppose. Except it was a close game. Just not very neighborly.

Even the Youngstown Vindicator is more respectful with their headline: "YSU Buffaloes Bison."

The Penguins did run all over the Bison. 340 yards worth. What's the big deal?

We did suck. Missed tackles, interceptions, and didn't stop the run.

It REALLY wasnt a close game. (just the score at the end)
And YSU did run over the Bison. There has never been anything neighborly between Fargo and GF that I can remember. So is the headlines really that surprising?? PL
