Superstitions

[Comfortably Numb Bison]

Who has them and what are they. Personally, this year I don't read the Saturday paper. I always buy a game program home or away, and I wear the same jersey(actually I haven't washed it in three weeks) every game day. So I'm almost positive all this has helped the perfect record.

On another note it pisses me off beyond belief when the away team stays in the locker room until after the national anthem is over. I was so glad that the only away game I attended this year (Minnesota). I was able to see the bison stand with pride on the sideline during the national anthem. What does the away team gain by not standing on the line like the home team? Complete disrespect!!!!!

[Jay]

I've worn the same yellow Bison Nation shirt I've had since I was a freshman in college ('99).

The National Anthem stuff doesn't make me angry at all. I guess I'll find other things to get mad about... like not being able to get 1 yd on 3 and 1.

This is dictated by the home team. FWIW I agree with you.

[EndZoneQB]

1. I don't make a prediction of the game
2. I do the same routine every Saturday morning before the game. I put on the same clothes, down to the same pair of boxers, but they are all freshly washed.
3. Haven't washed my jersey all season.
4. I make sure I get a cut somewhere from the bus during tailgating, so far it has happened every game I've been in the bus.
5. First shot to x-0(will be 10-0 this next weekend)

I probably have smaller things I can't think of right now.

[westnodak93bison]

I refuse to make predictions.

[FarSouth Bison]

Never heard that the home dictates if the visting team comes out for the National Anthem.

[Tatanka]

The pregame is scripted down to the minute. Who, what, where, when, how. I'm about 99% certian on this one--I asked the question before.

I've had the same pair of game day boxers (American Eagle camouflage) I've been wearing since the Mississippi Valley State game in 2007...Washed, of course.

I also wear my Nike #11 authentic white to home games and my Nike #11 authentic green during away games.

Any coincidence my selected pair of boxers is also American Eagle brand?

I find most of my superstitions come about subconsciously. It ends up becoming conscious and I just prevent myself from changing things as the wins pile up lol

It's an attempt to get into the heads of the home team...and to insulate their players from the environment that escalates just prior to the game.

In other words...it's stupid.

[bri-dog]

Me either. And so far this year, it's worked for every game (knock on wood).:biggrin:

[Wally]

Wear the same green for away games and the same yellow for home games, whether I am at the game or not.

The weird thing is I have never had any team I root for win a title while being superstitious. So technically I should be doing the opposite of superstitious, but that would be being superstitious anyway so I will just stick with what I am doing.

[DjKyRo]

1. Saying "I hope we win this weekend." This was called out by a friend earlier this season as sounding "wishy-washy" but I said it versus Minnesota and every game since and we haven't lost.
2. Wearing the homecoming hankie as a bandana. Luckily I haven't used it as a hankie yet.

[CaBisonFan]

I get very close-mouthed before the game. My family knows better than to try and strike up a conversation as the game approaches. Not sure if this qualifies as a superstition, but the family is very aware of this ritual.

Nice to see some new, younger folks posting here. (not you 4mcrue)

[56BISON73]

My wife texts me GO BISON every am before tailgate. She even texts me if she at the game with me. I WORE AN ndsu SHIRT UNDER MY CAMO THIS PAST WEEKEND DEER HUNTING. Damn I hit the caps lock key. I aint going to fix it either.:)

[No_Skill]

I read Bisonville each week until my brain melts and my eyes bleed.

[BFKasper14]

1. Same sweatshirt and sweatpants to every game along with a yellow shirt.
2. Watch every game with same friend (visitors are welcome) in section 16, row R on the very end of the student section (give or take two rows depending on availability)
3. After every game, I go to a friend's house with our dads and have dinner.
4. Get my student ticket every week at 8:30 AM on Monday morning
5. Every week I have posted the same thing on facebook:
"Just another Bison Win"

[UncleBuck]

I've been flying my Bison flag on the front of the house since Game 1, I usually take it down on Sunday and put up the Vikings flag, but forgot this year, so the Bison flag has been out there since September 3rd, and will not come down until January, despite Veterans Day of Friday.

[HerdBot]

I'm not superstitious at all. The only thing I avoid is posting disrespectful comments about the opponent.

[BlueBisonRock]

I have to spend an hour or five tailgating.
Pour myself one or two brews, plus grab a jag when SD and crew are generous.
Look for my brother and his son. Discuss all that is going on 'at home'
Take a few shots of tailgating and fans at the game.
<new>Now will give Izzy a light high five and thank him for showing up. <new>

Stick to it!!! Brock bleeds Green and Gold!!!!

[BisonTeacher]

If it's not too hot outside, I wear my Sioux Suck T shirt under everything.

[onbison09]

Wear the same green NDSU shirt. Post the Strength of the Herd poem on Facebook if it strikes me as necessary.

whatre you talking about

[Hammerhead]

Ours are more like traditions more than superstitions.

My wife and I always wear school colors even when watching the game on TV or the internets. (Our choices of T-shirts, sweatshirts, and my baseball cap are dictated by the weather. (We don't have specific shirts or underwear.)
Like someone else noted, I tend to get quiet and nervous before games.
Eat a hotdog before the game we attend in person or make popcorn at halftime for TV games.
High fives all around for every touchdown.

We do this too with whatever team we are watching, Bison, Gophs, Vikes, but if a few are on at the same time...Bison flag trumps.

[CAS4127]

Vigen and I each have one superstition.

I have note made an NDSU score prediction other than picking us every time in the pick em contest.

Vigens??! Don't run the FB! :biggrin: Sorry Tony!! :hide::hide:

[tjamz]

1. Put on a t-shirt of a car stereo company...company doesn't matter, the fact that I'm wearing it does.
2. Put on #16 green jersey
3. Pick up my buddy Brad from his apartment
4. Drive to game
5. Make some smart@$$ commend about the mound of dirt at the south end of the row of trees separating the west paved lot from the grass parking area. (Usually to the effect of "Wow, ND has resorted to building hills to counter the notion that we are flat" to which Brad replies "I wonder if they got them from Hill Co/Hill & Sons/etc..." yes we have a weird sense of humor)
6. Find Frisco Cruiser and do some end zone bombs with friends
7. Be the guy to finish at least one Das Boot
8. Stagger into dome
9. Scream my lungs out
10. Regain voice on Tuesday/Wednesday

[bisonmike2]

I normally don't believe in this crap, but I've worn the same NDSU Bison long sleeve t-shirt every game day this fall. I'm not saying, just saying. I plan on wearing the shirt the rest of the season.

[Comfortably Numb Bison]

I continue to belly laugh at the BudLight commercials "It is only weird if it doesn't work". I'm still wearing the same jersey and I haven't washed it since last years NC game victory. Ironically our only lose last year I wore a new yellow polo I bought during the week for gold out weekend if I remember correctly. I have added to my superstitious behavior.

Wear same jeans every week
Still buy a program every week
Never throw away a ticket stub
Wear same ball cap (2011 yellow NC)
Won't shave on game day
Still refuse to read newspaper on game day

It is only weird if it doesn't work!!

[GOBISON123]

A team that has not lost any game in Conference has never won FCS championship.

I heard this during our first FCS Championship game

[BlueBisonRock]

A team that has not lost any game in Conference has never won FCS championship.

I heard this on the radio when we played Sam Houston first time.

As is said: "There is a first time for everything."

[Pyroshane]

NDSU has never lost a game if I have done shots of my homemade redeye with fans of the opposing team before the game. I make a point of wandering the tailgate lot with a bottle and a stack of shot glasses tucked into my hoodie pouch looking for opposing fans during every tailgate.

[Hammerhead]

I think of them as traditions instead of superstitions. My only big one is to always wear Bison gear for college football and Vikings gear for pro football. I felt funny at the 2010 playoff game in Bozeman since I didn't have any cold weather Bison gear and I wore a Vikings jacket. After the win, we did order some sweatshirts, jackets, and a scarf from the NDSU bookstore with express shipping so we would have it for the next game in Cheney.

[GOBISON123]

As is said: "There is a first time for everything."

I like that :biggrin:

[SamsRams]

Whenever I make a game, I have to leave my seat and wander the concourse somewhere around 6 minutes before halftime and return sometime in the 3rd quarter. I have missed some awesome plays (Heagle/Williams TD before half against the Goophs) but it is obvious those awesome plays would have never happened if I stayed in my seat

[CalBison97]

So we could be the first team to run the table and win the FCS championship? Amazing it's never been done at this level.

I don't really have any. I just hell like hell at the games. I'm pretty sure the people in front of me are half deaf now.

Didnt Georgia Southern? Or are you saying that it was D1-AA then and not FCS?

[56BISON73]

I dont predict victory or scores.
I always wear my yellow NDSU Football hat.

[CalBison97]

Well it looks like they changed the name to fcs in 2006. So if he meant no team since then...he would be right.

[1st&TennBison]

I have a lucky Bison T-shirt and I put 36 cents in my left front pocket. I have never been to a game that the Bison have lost, and last year when we lost to ISU-blue I was in Rochester MN and didn't remember to wear my lucky shirt or put 36 cents in my pocket.

[cbline]

I wear the NDSU/Qdoba shirt that I caught in the halftime t-shirt toss a few years ago. Long story short - had to scramble to get a ticket for the 2012 NDSU - Georgia Southern semifinal game, and then had to scramble to get a new gold NDSU shirt since I did not bring Qdoba to work that day. The Bison (barely) won that night!

[tjamz]

Let's see...
White and green bison baseball cap with Oakley sunglasses perched on top of them, yellow ndsu long sleeve shirt with green #16 jersey over it and NDSU under armor shirt underneath, blue jeans (not sure of brand, but same ones every week), if cold (under 10°) under armor leggings, Bison socks, under armor black tennis shoes.

[BisonNation11]

I keep it pretty simple. Wear the white jersey for away games, gold jersey for home games (except for Code Green game, than green jersey). MUST have a shot of mint Ice Hole before the game starts and toasting "Go Bison!" before taking the shot. A new one this year since I'm newly married is taking off my wedding ring if the Herd is down at halftime. So far, so good!

We banished my old man to the SRO area because the Bison play like **** when he actually sits in his seat. Look for the randomly ticked off dude in the shooting star corner! (He actuallly prefers it over there) :D

Maybe the Qdoba shirt worked its magic again today, maybe it wasn't the shirt. Either way, it will be worn again (stains and all) for the 2015 season.

[Sun Bison]

Cook up bacon and eggs before every televised game (being in AZ) didn't get the bacon and eggs finished until a few minutes into the 1st quarter though, sorry all ;)

[DORMIE]

Me and my pal Jackson have sat back by the popcorn machine at the Ground Round in Fargo for the past 4 championships. Would like to go to Frisco but can't chance it.

[StL Bison Fan]

Had to replace my glow in the dark turf mug. Someone dropped it and it had a chunk out at the top. Sorry.
If it would have been whole, we would have won by more.

We had our Bison flag up for the first SDSU game this year and lost. We did not have it up for the playoff game against SDSU and won. My brother put the flag up before the JMU game.:mad:

[17>1]

Bought tickets to Frisco early, instead of waiting until after the semi game like I'd done for 5 years in a row. The poster who brought up the construction at Toyota Stadium is to blame.

[WestCoastBison]

I bought a championship coffee mug after the first FCS championship and brought it to work during the summer. Right before the next season started I brought it back home. Repeat process 5 years. Well, this year I ordered my mug a little early unfortunately but as long as it says NDSU Bison on it it will be a great mug!

The last time I was in Grand forks and listened to part of a Bison game on the radio, they lost to USD.

I brought that up along with not wearing the harvest helmets minutes before kickoff in the GDT. It seriously bugged me the entire game. Now for my part in contributing to the loss, this would have been my first Frisco miss due to both my kids' club tournaments in SoCal. Apologies. Next year, it's back to real priorities and Frisco!

1. The last time the Bison lost in the playoffs was @ Eastern, and it snowed at the game, same thing happened last Friday outside the FargoDome.

2. The Basketball team played UND and beat them good.

3. The FB game was away and BB was at home in 2010, and this year FB team was at home and BB team was away @ El Forko Grande.

4. 12-11-2010 --> 12-16-2016 5 Days more than 6 Years to-the-day after the last playoff loss. 5 was good, 6 was asking too much. Universe mojo was not going to let it happen. :(

[Gully]

So a bunch of people follow their superstitious rules before the JMU game, right? You know dumb things like putting flags up and making girly stumplifter drinks. Well, since we lost to JMU, you should now admit you've been wasting your time and move on to something more important like complaining about tailgating hours or the padding of the seats in the SHAC.

My whiskey was too cold, wings too hot and bathroom line too long.

[BlueBisonRock]

I blame the loss on a major faux pas on my part. During the 2011 to 2015 playoffs, I attended each of the 3 games in the dome plus the big game in Frisco. And I attended the first two playoff games this year. 22 - 0 record.The weather convinced me to pass on a five hour one way drive for the JMU game. It is obvious that my mojo was missing. I should have known better as the last playoff game I missed (EWU) also resulted in a loss.

My apologies to Bison Nation for not stepping up and bringing that extra bit of intensity which was needed. I will do a better job in the future.

5. JMU was the first team that we beat during our run, and they were the ones to end it.

[kristind]

JMU was the first Bison game my 11 year old was able to attend. I joked with him at the beginning of the game....ok perhaps several times...that if we lost his first game in the Dome it meant he couldn't come to any more (so he better cheer loud, etc). As if the loss wasn't a bummer enough for him...lets just say he was less than amused by my obvious lack of parenting skills. ;)

Well it didn't work out for the JMU game no matter what I did that worked before on other games (GSU Semi #2, Championship against ISUr, Oklahoma (bball) list goes on and on) So figured mojo was stuck under the grime and dirt, it's white so it was looking pretty terrible and I like the way it looks clean, and it was clean back when we started the run so...

If we really tank next year tag this post and then we will have to work on fixing it's luck!

In regards to your Vikings/NO game I wore my Robert Smith jersey for that game, that I was wearing when we lost the 98 championship... and actually started wearing it every week this year at the end of the season after things started to fall apart (I'm trying to get rid of all the bad mojo, and it's obviously working look how bad this season went! :biggrin: :facepalm: )

[BisonTeacher]

So it was you.....:mad:

Yes.* :hide:







* = or Petersons countless fumbles.

[BisonTeacher]

Well it didn't work out for the JMU game no matter what I did that worked before on other games (GSU Semi #2, Championship against ISUr, Oklahoma (bball) list goes on and on) So figured mojo was stuck under the grime and dirt, it's white so it was looking pretty terrible and I like the way it looks clean, and it was clean back when we started the run so...

If we really tank next year tag this post and then we will have to work on fixing it's luck!

In regards to your Vikings/NO game I wore my Robert Smith jersey for that game, that I was wearing when we lost the 98 championship... and actually started wearing it every week this year at the end of the season after things started to fall apart (I'm trying to get rid of all the bad mojo, and it's obviously working look how bad this season went! :biggrin: :facepalm: )

You may as well throw it away now. Washing a lucky hat is not only on page 1 of the superstition handbook, but Im pretty sure its on page on of the "How to care for a hat" handbook.

[tony]

I think that I'm going to retire my lucky 5-peat Bison gear. My hat has been chewed by dogs and is being held together with green duct tape. My tattered yellow Snorty t-shirt's neck is stretched out to the point that it looks like the sweatshirt from Flashdance (http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1086709/images/o-FLASHDANCE-ANNIVERSARY-facebook.jpg) had a baby with the Fairy Flag of Dunvegan Castle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_Flag). Also, unsurprisingly, the drinking elbow areas of my lucky Bison zip-up sweatshirt are completely gone.

Two questions:

1. Do I give the old gear a Viking funeral or do I preserve it all in a glass case or something?
2. Do I need to get the new gear consecrated? If so, what should the ceremony involve?

I want to apologize the everyone. We had my parents over last night. The last time my parents were over, the bison lost. I kicked them ou...er I mean...they left when it was 0-10. My bad for not recognizing it sooner.

[bri-dog]

I also had a screw-up. My boss is a Huskers fan (the Bison are now 2nd-favorite). Since they were playing at the same time, I told him I'd fly his Husker flag on my flagpole outside the bar (under the Bison flag, of course). After the game, I told him that the Huskers flag was bringing bad mojo because it was touching the Bison flag. He said "Hey you won, didn't you?"

I said yeah, but that's because I ran out and took his flag down before the OT...:)

Put my jersey on after kickoff, didn't have a drink made and wore a plain white shirt under said jersey. Switched to my "How 'bout the Bison defense?" after we went down 10-0 and poured an extra stiff drink. I apologize.

[Bison 4 Life]

Sorry everybody. I wore a new shirt I bought last week at the game. Won't happen again.

Ah, what the hell. Previous years' championships (the date of the game, not the season):

2012: I sat on the west side.
2013: I sat on the east side.
2014: I sat on the west side.
2015: I sat on the east side.
2016: I sat on the west side.

So every time we won, I was sitting on the west side in even years and the east side in odd years.

So I got up this morning to put on my lucky Bison gear and, holy carp!!!, I left it in NYC because that's where I watched the SHSU game. Sorry to special teams for letting them down.

Luckily I found my old lucky Bison gear which is held together by spilled whisky, fossilized dog drool, and sweat stains (my hiding place is awesome* because otherwise the wife would have burned it all back in 2015.)

On the plus side, this is our last tournament until mid January, so this shouldn't be an issue in the future.

Who has them and what are they. Personally, this year I don't read the Saturday paper. I always buy a game program home or away, and I wear the same jersey(actually I haven't washed it in three weeks) every game day. So I'm almost positive all this has helped the perfect record.

On another note it pisses me off beyond belief when the away team stays in the locker room until after the national anthem is over. I was so glad that the only away game I attended this year (Minnesota). I was able to see the bison stand with pride on the sideline during the national anthem. What does the away team gain by not standing on the line like the home team? Complete disrespect!!!!!

Trans Am Bison always turns his bison skin panties around before the game.
Its a big deal because bison skin panties last for years and he never cleans them.

Dear Scottie:

You matter to me.

Well, not YOU so much, but the miniscule chance that you might have some negative effect on the Herd's performance this weekend. That DOES matter to me. It matters to me a great deal. So please don't do anything rash. Remember, if nothing else ……….. YOU MATTER TO ME. Well, most of the time anyway. If they lose, you really won't matter to me at all, but let's not split hairs here. The fact is, the Bison win damn near all of the time anyway, so yes …. yes :nod: …... I believe I can say unequivocally that you do indeed matter to me, in ways that matter to me and me alone.

Um. I'm not sure I should mention this but there is a chance that I might not be at home watching the game this week either. I'm playing in a softball tournament that morning and if we win couple, I'll be watching the game on my phone between innings.


I'll still put the flag out and be wearing by Bison jersey during the game so there's that.

[TransAmBison]

You're playing with fire Mister. Looks like a 2nd stumplifter is in order Saturday to counteract your lack of effort. Its a Sacrifice. You're welcome.

Edit...if I remember right, that ISUb loss was Vigen's fault and not yours, but I will follow through with the plan just in case.What if the 2nd stumplifter counteracts the 1st one? Too much of a good thing? Wearing it out? You sir, are also heading into dangerous territory.

[oldmantutters]

I feel like that would be too many changes against the control. If they happen to lose is it because of the second stumplifter? Or is it because Scotties dad is at the game?

Well what if a scientific experiment on the 2nd stumplifter theory was already conducted last weekend? Asking for a friend. IM pretty sure Scotties dad was not at that game either.

hmmmm????

People, people :facepalm: ………………………. why do we have to make everything so hard all the time?

Why don't we just (1) kidnap scottie's dad before the game, (2) come up with some elaborate alibi for the police about how Youngstown did it because scottie's family had some major Bison mojo going on (who wouldn't believe that?), (3) have someone feed him lots of booze while in his confinement, and (4) then tell scottie his dad had just a little too much fun tailgating and missed the game? If the old man is anything like scottie, this is a slam dunk. And, more importantly, our winning streak continues.

What am I missing here?

[Professor Chaos]

So one of the screws on the flagpole holder between my garages doors busted last weekend and I didn't bother to try to fix it until this morning but I had routed out the screws so bad putting it in I couldn't get them out without pliers. I decided I didn't have enough time and wanted to get to tailgating so I didn't put my gameday Bison flag up for the first time all year.

I take full responsibility for the lackluster effort today and a vow to fix it by next Saturday so the team can get back on the right track.

[23Bison]

I’ll add to this somewhat of a down game. I have a particular shirt that is worn for EVERY bison game and well due to that fact that I was bow hunting most of the day I didn’t put it on at all. I’m sorry and I wasn’t thinking. Won’t happen again.

[BizfrmBotno]

Game day routine is to put the two Bison flags out in front of the house around 7 am, yellow one goes on the north side of steps, green one goes on the south side. I live in southern Minnesota with a lot of family in the Springfield, MO area. We are heading out on Friday for the MSU game in Springfield. Looks like the colors are going out a day early and will fly a day later than usual.

[Bison Loaf]

Whomever it was that took care of scottie's dad last weekend …….. Thank-You! You did just enough (barely) to neutralize his bad charma. :biggrin:

[cbline]

My game shirt is starting to show the wear of the season. I don't wash it until the season is over so that it keeps its mojo. (Side note: the former game shirt last saw the Fargo Dome at the JMU loss and will NEVER be seen at another game as it lost the mojo). The current shirt got a couple more stains from Saturday night's dinner, so I will look a bit rough at the SIU game and into the playoff run.

Do you mean to say that the former game shirt has not been burned (GASP!!) ?

The former shirt was sentenced to hard labor. I wear it when doing chores around the farm, but it will no longer be worn in public.

I like ^^^. Hard labor, LOL.
I've too many of these where they were worn only one or two FB games. Sentencing by black marker dot on inside of back collar. Running low on the game time Sioux stuff, been lately also wearing some of the Bird.

Tell Captain Scottie his niece played very well today for the Hawks.

[bri-dog]

I'm working on a stock certificate as we speak for "Byzen Digital, Inc." It's a sign from above.

[BisonTeacher]

Because its a work day. I set my alarm last night for 12:01 am. Got up and made a stumplifter, because its a morning beverage. Then went back to bed. You're Welcome.

Yeah but, what’s that stumplifter doing now? More importantly, are you actually going to work?????

I put my flag holder on the front of my new house this year. I often go out the garage on the side of the house pointing a different direction so I rarely see the front of my house on a day to day basis. Yesterday I realized I forgot to take my flag down on Sunday as is my tradition. I took it down so I could put it back up today.

If there's a slow start, I apologize.

[cbline]

I get anxious every time I put up my Bison Pride flag at our farmstead along Highway 10. After the first one was stolen, I certainly don't want this one to meet the same fate. I have no evidence, but I blame a random F'Hawker who drive by.

( well most understand this is not to be taken literally.... I find that in today's day and age you need a disclaimer... Sad but true! again don't actually use your flag of sniper bait)

[OrygunBison]

Just starting up this discussion again because of a bit of dialog in the Sproles thread. In the opus below, I’m declare without any doubt that the team needs Chapo’s constant nonsense and they need me to wear my goddamn Bison socks during games.

In all seriousness, it is sort of uncanny. My socks, like Chapo's vigilant douchbaggery over matters such as Superman Zeb or Bison to FBS or his calling out "weak" or "uncommitted" players in the Sproles thread, are clearly responsible for the success that Bison Football has had over the years. Before you mock me for suggesting this, please consider the following:

1.) From 1995-2002: I sadly mostly lost track of the program. I wasn't living anywhere near Fargo and at that time, my only way to keep track of the team was to subscribe to the Sunday Forum fishwrap, which wouldn't arrive until 3 or 4 days later. Given the nature of the fishwrap, I'm sure that you can understand my difficulty in really understanding what was going on with the team. I also didn’t yet own Bison socks. Also during this time, el Chapo hadn't yet mastered his craft, focusing instead on his semi-pro baseball career and vacationing in places where bitches be raining.

While not terrible, I consider these years a dark time in Bison Football.

2.) Around 2003, I purchased the socks. After the announcement of the transition to DI, I realized that the only Bison gear that I owned had somehow shrunken really bad and was all super tight. I bought a jersey, a couple of sweatshirts and long T's, and the now important socks. I wasn't aware yet about the power of the socks so I have limited documentation of the games that were lost because of my shortsightedness between 2003 and 2010. I believe it was early in the 2008 season when I lost them right before the Wyoming game. Note that during this time, Chapo - while still full of himself - was primarily focused on the aforementioned raining bitches and reminiscing about his former baseball career. It wasn't until 2007 that we began hearing from him about a translucent (almost clear) young fellow sitting on the bench backing up old Stevie, wearing #18 that was going to transform FCS football as we all knew it. It was during this time that Chapo began to really hone his iniquitous skills.

3.) December 3rd, 2010: Bozeman, Montana. I met an old roommate of mine from Churchill Hall and a variety of notorious houses in Fargo from the late 80’s/early 90’s. To this day, he’s the main guy that I coordinate with when in Fargo and Frisco. We met at a restaurant in the early evening. He had just driven from a worksite that he had in Butte. I had just driven from Portland. We both needed a drink. It was a raucous party atmosphere that night so when he handed me the #16 jersey and the replacement socks I had asked him to bring from Scheels, I didn’t recognize the gravity of the moment. Later that night, I met Chapo for the first time. With confidence and clarity, he told me how shit was going to go down during the game the next day. His faith in a huge day by Jose dropping dimes all over the field was matched only by his hope that Bohl would finally give up on McNorton at running back and feed Voigtlander and Mike Sigers the rock, assuming that they needed to run the ball at all. For me, this is when the Chapo legend began.

4.) December 4th, I wore the socks. They are yellow and have a green bison on the calf. They go to just below my knees. They are warm, which is why I wore them on that particular day.

5.) December 11th, I forgot the socks in Portland and didn’t have them on during the game.

6.) December 12th, 2010 to mid-afternoon on September 3rd, 2011: After the game in Cheney, I ruminated on what had happened. It seemed like luck just wasn’t on our side during that game. The team itself had played well but through seemingly supernatural forces still ended up losing the game in dramatic fashion. After a few nights listening to Bison MBB games over the web, I began to recognize a pattern. When I had the socks on, we had a better chance of winning. It wasn’t in full force yet, mainly because Trayvonn Wright could only vertical jump 5’-2” at the time, not the amount that he eventually would achieve. Unfortunately, (and I’m ashamed to admit) I used that BB season as an experiment of sorts, wearing the socks for some games and not doing so for other games. How else can you explain that a team that had Braun, Coleman, Tveidt, Wright, and Bjorklund went 14-15 on the season? Please accept my humble apologies for that. Anyway, I decided to give the socks a chance, to commit to their power when football season began the following fall. It was also during this off-season that Chapo’s belief that we should find a way for Marcus Williams to play 2 positions simultaneously on every single play of the game began to be a thing.

From that point forward, Bison Football has had unprecedented success. The nonsensical drivel from Lake Chapo has been a constant. Also, I’ve worn the socks with only a few occasional mis-steps:

A) November 12, 2011: I missed the game due to my son’s soccer game. The message from the football gods was clear that day: “Praise Bison Football and fuck soccer.”

B) January 10, 2015: In my morning fog after a long night at The Lodge in Dallas, I forgot to wear the socks to the game. I didn’t even recognize it until one Mr. Roberson made Kyle Emmanuel look a little foolish on a quarterback keeper. Thank goodness for mythology of Legendowski for saving the day from my lack of focus.

C) October 17, 2015: I didn’t even remotely consider this game as a potential loss. The football gods message this day was clear: “Even Bison fans need to remain focused and not look ahead to more challenging games.”

D) February 27, 2021: I’m so sorry.

There have been a few other losses out there but I can only attribute them to either the football gods picking on another Bison fan or Tony’s ban of Lake Chapo.

So, next time you bitch at Lakes for his constant blathering about…whatever... please remember that the team is depending on him to be a dipshit. They need his ridicule of certain players and his blind love of others. The program needs his focus on bigger and better things such as FBS and star system recruiting.

And they need my socks.

[Hammerhead]

Did you go to any of the watch parties in the late 90s/early 2000s when the Bison/Sioux game was on TV at a bar somewhere in Portland? We went to a few of those and one in Seattle for the first Gophers game when we were already up there for a weekend of sight-seeing and Vikings game the following day.

We went to a few of those and one in Seattle for the first Gophers game when we were already up there for a weekend of sight-seeing and Vikings game the following day.

I drove or flew back to North Dakota from either Michigan or Portland for all but one of the Bison-Whioux games from 1996 to 2003. For the one game I missed, I went to a watch party at a bar in Beaverton, which was kinda lame because there were too many UND grads there. (Note that 2 is too many as they then can be insufferable.) For that period of time, that game was basically my only real connection with the team. Starting in 2003, I listened to a lot of games on the radio, really getting know love Scotty's call. Then GoBison had their in-stadium feed connected with Scotty and Phil announcing games and I did that for several years, getting every game I could.

The team itself had played well but through seemingly supernatural forces still ended up losing the game in dramatic fashion. After a few nights listening to Bison MBB games over the web, I began to recognize a pattern. When I had the socks on, we had a better chance of winning. It wasn’t in full force yet, mainly because Trayvonn Wright could only vertical jump 5’-2” at the time, not the amount that he eventually would achieve. Unfortunately, (and I’m ashamed to admit) I used that BB season as an experiment of sorts, wearing the socks for some games and not doing so for other games. How else can you explain that a team that had Braun, Coleman, Tveidt, Wright, and Bjorklund went 14-15 on the season? Please accept my humble apologies for that. Anyway, I decided to give the socks a chance, to commit to their power when football season began the following fall. It was also during this off-season that Chapo’s belief that we should find a way for Marcus Williams to play 2 positions simultaneously on every single play of the game began to be a thing.

From that point forward, Bison Football has had unprecedented success. The nonsensical drivel from Lake Chapo has been a constant. Also, I’ve worn the socks with only a few occasional mis-steps:

A) November 12, 2011: I missed the game due to my son’s soccer game. The message from the football gods was clear that day: “Praise Bison Football and fuck soccer.”

B) January 10, 2015: In my morning fog after a long night at The Lodge in Dallas, I forgot to wear the socks to the game. I didn’t even recognize it until one Mr. Roberson made Kyle Emmanuel look a little foolish on a quarterback keeper. Thank goodness for mythology of Legendowski for saving the day from my lack of focus.

C) October 17, 2015: I didn’t even remotely consider this game as a potential loss. The football gods message this day was clear: “Even Bison fans need to remain focused and not look ahead to more challenging games.”

D) February 27, 2021: I’m so sorry.

There have been a few other losses out there but I can only attribute them to either the football gods picking on another Bison fan or Tony’s ban of Lake Chapo.

So, next time you bitch at Lakes for his constant blathering about…whatever... please remember that the team is depending on him to be a dipshit. They need his ridicule of certain players and his blind love of others. The program needs his focus on bigger and better things such as FBS and star system recruiting.

And they need my socks.

I read the whole thing and I can only say one thing. You selfish bastard! Why do you ever take the socks off?

[heffray]

They need to last. Save them for gamedays only, Orygun... I don’t want to find out what happens when they cease to be socks anymore.

Sidenote: I bought a Gameday flag this year after the SIU loss. We’ll see how it goes.

I'm trying to figure out how we can get a permanent protective coating on Orygun's socks. Would lacquer work? Maybe we need to go to bronze but that might be too heavy and hard for him to put them on..........fuck it this isn't about him it's about the Bison!:biggrin:

[MankatoBison]

Just starting up this discussion again because of a bit of dialog in the Sproles thread. In the opus below, I’m declare without any doubt that the team needs Chapo’s constant nonsense and they need me to wear my goddamn Bison socks during games.

In all seriousness, it is sort of uncanny. My socks, like Chapo's vigilant douchbaggery over matters such as Superman Zeb or Bison to FBS or his calling out "weak" or "uncommitted" players in the Sproles thread, are clearly responsible for the success that Bison Football has had over the years. Before you mock me for suggesting this, please consider the following:

1.) From 1995-2002: I sadly mostly lost track of the program. I wasn't living anywhere near Fargo and at that time, my only way to keep track of the team was to subscribe to the Sunday Forum fishwrap, which wouldn't arrive until 3 or 4 days later. Given the nature of the fishwrap, I'm sure that you can understand my difficulty in really understanding what was going on with the team. I also didn’t yet own Bison socks. Also during this time, el Chapo hadn't yet mastered his craft, focusing instead on his semi-pro baseball career and vacationing in places where bitches be raining.

While not terrible, I consider these years a dark time in Bison Football.

2.) Around 2003, I purchased the socks. After the announcement of the transition to DI, I realized that the only Bison gear that I owned had somehow shrunken really bad and was all super tight. I bought a jersey, a couple of sweatshirts and long T's, and the now important socks. I wasn't aware yet about the power of the socks so I have limited documentation of the games that were lost because of my shortsightedness between 2003 and 2010. I believe it was early in the 2008 season when I lost them right before the Wyoming game. Note that during this time, Chapo - while still full of himself - was primarily focused on the aforementioned raining bitches and reminiscing about his former baseball career. It wasn't until 2007 that we began hearing from him about a translucent (almost clear) young fellow sitting on the bench backing up old Stevie, wearing #18 that was going to transform FCS football as we all knew it. It was during this time that Chapo began to really hone his iniquitous skills.

3.) December 3rd, 2010: Bozeman, Montana. I met an old roommate of mine from Churchill Hall and a variety of notorious houses in Fargo from the late 80’s/early 90’s. To this day, he’s the main guy that I coordinate with when in Fargo and Frisco. We met at a restaurant in the early evening. He had just driven from a worksite that he had in Butte. I had just driven from Portland. We both needed a drink. It was a raucous party atmosphere that night so when he handed me the #16 jersey and the replacement socks I had asked him to bring from Scheels, I didn’t recognize the gravity of the moment. Later that night, I met Chapo for the first time. With confidence and clarity, he told me how shit was going to go down during the game the next day. His faith in a huge day by Jose dropping dimes all over the field was matched only by his hope that Bohl would finally give up on McNorton at running back and feed Voigtlander and Mike Sigers the rock, assuming that they needed to run the ball at all. For me, this is when the Chapo legend began.

4.) December 4th, I wore the socks. They are yellow and have a green bison on the calf. They go to just below my knees. They are warm, which is why I wore them on that particular day.

5.) December 11th, I forgot the socks in Portland and didn’t have them on during the game.

And they need my socks.

Loved the timeline, but confused about the 20+ Lakes references lol. Your post would have been exactly as entertaining without shitting on other people. Still enjoyed reading haha

He was taking a beating in the Phoenix thread for being....well, him. I initially started writing this to add levity in that thread to point out that the team needs him to be him but it soon got out of hand so I put it in the appropriate location.

Thanks for your concern, Wendell.

I feel your pain...whether it is not wearing your socks or dealing with legitimate Sybill of this board. I also take some of the blame for the SIU game as it was a glorious day here in Florida and I was out trimming trees until the second quarter and the proceeded to watch the game without one of my several tried and true good luck shirts. I guess I take 99.7% of what Chapo/Lakes/Sam says with a grain of salt and look for a way to chuckle. Being a bit older than you, I also drifted away from the program for a few years. Left in 84, got married, 4 kids and I really didn't rejoin the program until 92 when I moved to Kansas. For the past 20+ years I have been fairly rabid...the internet helps. Net, Net, DONT LOSE THE DAMN SOCKS.
