Way to many posts so I'm starting my own thread with my comments. *Sorry for any repetition.
AWESOME GAME!!!! :D *One of the best game experiences I've ever had. *Bison are truly a team to be taken seriously. *To bad the NCAA wouldn't make an exception for letting a team into the playoffs. *Bison to the Nat'l Champ game!
The atmosphere on the plaza before the game was incredible! *A lot of green and a lot of fun with the Gopher fans that were there.
NDSU fans were awesome! *My sister and her family (Gopher fans) were in the upper deck above the band and she said the Bison fans were louder than the Gopher fans. *My brother-in-law was more than embarassed being a Gopher fan on Saturday. *He said the Bison are a team to be taken seriously throughout college football.
On a sour note (this I'm sure is the exception, not the rule) there were 2 Gohper fans sitting a few rows below us and were rooting for their team like a true fan should. *However, there was a Bison fan that kept throwing profanity-laced comments their way late in the game - and extremely poor representation of a Bison fan. *Thankfully, he was the only one in our section like that.
Media thoughts: Glad to see Sid eating some crow in the paper yesterday. *On the radio, Mike Max was saying he would much rather see a regional game with NDSU/SDSU in the future than games against schools like Temple. *After looking at the attendance figures somebody else posted earlier, Maturi better be thinking the same thing. *Let's see, 45K for Temple or 62K for NDSU??? :-/
Funniest part of the day - Gopher athletes jumping up and down as time expired like they won the Rose Bowl. *Second funniest - Gopher student section cheering for their team after the win. *However, as Mason was walking towards the tunnel, they all quit cheering, cupped their hands to their mouths and booed Mason with as much ferver as I've ever seen. *What a riot ;D
Can't wait to go back next year!!!!!!!!!!
