Figured I'd share a little video I put together after a long day of recuperating from driving back to Fargo yesterday.

This is a timelapse video I took while driving down to Frisco. Feel free to post your own videos/pictures! Would love to see them.

Thanks for posting. Having never driven, it's amazing to actually see what a long drive it is. Hats off to all of you that make the drive every year!

That's what I was guessing, just giving you a little crap. :)

If I would have ate there I'd have more than just a little crap.

I had Whataburger on Thursday Night

Screw you, it was delicious.

Our first trip, and seeing all the Bison fans on the road was a blast! We spent Thursday night in Wichita, KS, so Friday's 5-hour drive was nothing.

I suspect the drive home (in one day) would have been a lot harder if we weren't celebrating a win.

$160 in gas, divided by 4 people - yep, I'd drive again.

#1 reason why we need NDSU to make it back to Frisco next year: In-N-Out

Nice video!

We stayed at Kansas Star both ways, good stopping point. That damn weather on Thursday, nothing too bad but snow, fog, rain, snow, fog and rain for 750 miles wears on you.

It was my first trip down, what I wasn't expecting is that there were Bison fans everywhere all the way down and back. And I mean everywhere. Every single gas station, restaurant, and hotel we went to.

Yeah that Kansas Star Casino/hotel is actually pretty nice. About $110 a night and includes a free breakfast the next morning...which is really good. We have stayed there while driving down 2 years now. Each year we get their around 11ish and have to eat at that Shark Bite or whatever its called. I would not suggest eating at that bar within the Casino...

Kansas Star waffle. I will confess, I bought hush puppies at Long Johns. But just that!

Those are fun to do. A friend and I did one in 2012 on our way to Fargo for the Junior/Cadet National Championships.

Im not really a fan on breasturants. The food and drinks are always really shitty. I understand its awesome that they are big NDSU supporters...but why wouldn't they be if our fans are shoveling money at them.

I 100% promise you that if another fan base that we played against all decided to go their as well, and spend the money they some NDSU fans do...they wouldn't be as bison-vocal. I mean seriously...do you really think that 23 year old blonde girl from Dallas Texas LOVES the Bison? But hey, whatever. People can like and go wherever they want.

What??? You can't be serious! She said I was the only one!!!! I mean all 20 girls did! Surely they'd never lie to me!

It kills me that even after a rare year in which you don't win the national championship, you still bounce back and make your plans with the assumption that you will next year. Very impressive fan base!

What is to lose? Hotel rooms can be cancelled, plane tickets as well with a penalty that isn't even enough to be a respectable bar tab, game tickets can be resold.

Does any other fanbase have even one person who makes all these purchases and reservations for Frisco nearly a year in advance? I don't know anyone other than you guys who do it. Tip of the hat.

Awesome video. A lot of wiper action the first day with snow and then rain. Did you use your cell phone to video it?
