This may be the greatest letter to the Forum ever.

[Kevin]

Anyone here have a psych background? Legitimately curious what kind of projection this is: https://www.inforum.com/opinion/letters/4663364-Letter-A-few-questions-for-bison-fanatics

My favorite part:

Why is so much of your identity tethered to this boring football team? Where were you several years ago when they were not such tyrants? Is this a power fantasy? Has your inability to get your son to cut his hair and your kissless marriage really led to this being your only source of delight?

This rag will really print anything.

[tony]

Well, really, most papers print all letters to editor within reason because they serve the community, including the crazy ones.

14 questions posed, but what about the unasked, unanswered one: "Why does the idea of people enjoying Bison football annoy you so much?"

[THEsocalledfan]

My goodness, that was a good one. My favorite line:

Would you be here, screaming bloody murder, if victory wasn’t almost certain? You weren’t when I was in college.

Translation, jealous F'hawker fan.

[MankatoBison]

Im SO SORRY THIS HAPPENED TO YOU, CARMEN!

Holy cow, Can you imagine being such a bitter person that the mere idea of fans enjoying their football team gets you so triggered that you have to write nonsensical screeds to the local newspaper?
A close loved one should check on Carmen asap to see if she is okay

[wagsabison]

She seems like a delightful person.

My speculations:

1. The butt-hurt is strong with this one

2. Likely has more than one "Sioux Hockey" shirt in the closet

3. I highly doubt that "Carmen Riviera" is his/her real name

[bisonfanette]

exactly!!!

[SlickVic]

carmen mcfeely-schemf would of given it away

My speculations:

Exactly, If you are going to be so jealous of other people having a good time and so clearly of a superior quality to Bison fans go ahead and use a real name.

It is people like this that are always crabbing in all aspects of their life about Joe Blah blah blah has this and I don't, Mary Blah Blah did this and I have never done that oh and I would never want to it is just stupid, Mike Blah lives in a house that has so much space that he doesn't need.

In all aspects of life there will always be someone who has more, be it more fun, more money whatever there will also be people that have less. Enjoy your own life and don't worry so much about others.

Oh and by the way "Carmen" here is your participation ribbon.

[ndsubison1]

She didn't bring up the Fake Field Goal

Do they always prominently display such craziness at the top of their homepage?

Serious question, I never read this. I just happened to need something for work from their archives. It was literally the first thing I saw.

The guy who chucked his beer into the NDSU bench during the game is my dark-horse suspect.

[MNLonghorn10]

Probably a disgruntled NDSU freshman drop out that struck out on game tickets for the 4th yr in a row.

Or just a troll with a made up name.

[Stary2k11]

It’s gotta be the masked villain in the albino cardinal mascot.

On a more serious note, would I need permissions to use this as learning material for the students in my Brain and Behavior course? Or just do it and remove the names?

Was this letter mailed from a location near a Dairy Queen
Did it have dilly bar stains
Was it written on the back of a dui ticket?

Pretty sure the Foolum puts shit like this out on their own just to get clicks. Probably have some intern working on another one as we speak.

While papers usually print letters to the editor, I think that they do make an effort to verify that the person's name on the letter is correct.

[VirginiaBison]

I guess the letter didn't make the cut for PayWall content.

[56BISON73]

How do you know hes dead?

[Professorbum]

I would indeed cheer if my wife had a fourth glass of wine at dinner. That would mean I'm looking more and more attractive and good things are going to happen after dinner.

[southcliffbison]

How do you know hes dead?

A couple of years back on Egriz, a poster made a reference to him; gave him the RIP.

[JMB]

All questions, reminded me of an "I Miss Chubs" post in the Global Warming Thread. :)

The reason I say it couldn't have been old griz1952 (aside from being among the dearly departed) is the sentence structure and grammaticality. That letter had to come from a relatively educated person. That fact alone disqualified '52.

Carmen Sandiego is a more fun fictional person than this Carmen Riviera.

Probably the lady that told me to sit down last week... I told her no. This is a football game not a knitting party. She wasn’t happy with me. Went back to talking about paint colors.

Stand on Kickoffs, Defense, and first downs. If you bitch about people who do this, YOU are the problem.

[89MTBISON]

The name is a clue. Carmen means poem, Riviera means river bank. Does McFooly live under the main avenue bridge? Bet the culprit is there.

Maybe they are “knitting” because they can’t see the game??

[BISONBRI53]

Wow! More like milk bottle drinker for you! Have some fun and cheer your team on at a football game!

[bisonaudit]

Haven't read the letter but from the excerpts not sure how we can conclude this person is relatively well educated.

College football is not a movie theatre or even a baseball game. It's a participation sport. If you can't cope with people standing in front of you, that's a you problem.

That said, let's leave the racial abuse to the school up north.

[EC8CH]

Maybe they are “knitting” because they can’t see the game??

Or they could stand up. Plenty of time on offense to have a seat.

Again....are you talking cheering or standing?

[EC8CH]

On kickoffs, I stand and hold my hands up wiggling my fingers and yell ohhhhhhhhhhhh OH!

On first downs I stand and point my finger and move my arm in a circle waiting for the announcer to say BISON, then I yell, FIRST DOWN, OHHHH MOVE THOSE CHAINS.

On defense, I stand and yell as loud as I can until they punt. Once we are up 4 scores I only stand on 3rd downs.

[EC8CH]

First downs?????????

Specifically immediately after first downs.

[Greta Van Herd]

Well I wiggle them really hard so...

[cbline]

Wow! You are the greatest fan ever! Actually wiggling your fingers? That must wear you out. Props.

I have a question. When I wiggle my fingers on kickoffs, I do "The Wave" with my pinkie fingers going down first, working my way to my index fingers. If that the correct way, or should I start with my index and then work my way out? I don't want to piss off Karma! :)

[runtheoption]

Wow! You are the greatest fan ever! Actually wiggling your fingers? That must wear you out. Props.

What's your opinion on shaking car keys on kickoffs for extra noise? What about yelling with your hands cupped over your mouth as a megaphone vs. yelling and clapping at the same time? I want to make sure you think I am doing it right.

[Professor Chaos]

You can yell longer and louder when standing compared to seated. It's science!


Actually, it really is: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0003999305014723


Main Outcome Measures
For LC-EF, forced vital capacity, maximum forced expiratory flow, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, and peak expiratory flow; and lumbar lordosis.

Results
All LC-EF measures in standing were significantly superior to those in slumped and normal sitting, and 4 measures were significantly higher than in WO-BPS. In slumped sitting, LC-EF significantly decreased from that in normal sitting. WO-BPS sitting significantly increased 4 of the LC-EF measures from those in the normal sitting. Lumbar lordosis was the highest in standing and progressively decreased in WO-BPS, normal, and slumped sitting.

Conclusions
Slumped sitting significantly decreased LC-EF and lumbar lordosis. Because it increases the lumbar lordosis and promotes LC-EF, the WO-BPS posture may be a better seating option for people sitting for a prolonged time.

In general, if you are doing everything or more than the good fans are doing, you are an even better fan.

If you are doing less than these great fans are doing during games, then you are a terrible fan. Pretty simple really.

And no, it has nothing to do with virtue signaling. Just do like they say and don’t be a terrible fan.

This is all true, but even though I WANT to be a good fan, I’m also concerned about the carbon footprint I may be leaving with all this exhaling.

Throw in a little flatulence after a long morning of tailgating, and then multiply that by 18k people, and you’ve got the makings of a full on climatological disaster inside that Fargo Dome.

This is the correct take.

Life hack- learn to whistle so damn loud that it causes you physical pain. It takes 1/4 the effort of screaming and is 10X more piercing. I measure my life as a Bison fan in 2 parts: before and after learning to whistle like f*cking maniac.

If you watch the Jabril Cox pick 6 against delaware, you can audibly hear me whistling on the tv broadcast. I dont wanna take credit for the pick 6 or anything buuuuuut. facts are facts :bow:

Right? Those guys down on that field are putting a ton of effort into repping the university to say nothing of all the effort they put in that we as fans do not see. The least we can do is throw a little energy back their way when they achieve success or especially if they need a little encouragement.

When I’m in the dome I will be standing most of the time. You could just as well remove the damn seat because it is mostly in my way.

Same thing happens when I go to a blues festival and some virtuoso steps on stage and starts shredding that guitar (thinking about you Bonamassa), I stand because I can’t do otherwise. And I was invented long before ADHD was a thing, so no, ain’t got that.

Agree on the bolded part and the players do notice it and appreciate it. Listen to Cole Jirik's and Nate Tanguay's comments on the effect of the crowd starting at the 45:20 mark of this week's Locker Room.

https://soundcloud.com/user-744211984/the-locker-room-full-show-september-16th#t=45:20

Exact words from Cole Jirik about a minute and a half into that: "I don't think the fans realize how big of an impact [the crowd noise] has when you can't hear anything out there... for the most part it gives us a major advantage in the game... let's get on our feet for the entire football game."

I had the same issue at Montana as I had a seat in the front row of their South endzone. All game, anytime I stood up and/or made noise, the old people around me would complain. Not sure if this was their first game at Wash-Griz, but I paid good money for my seat, and therefore, my choice to use it.

Only while sitting with 1 hand in the air giving the Texas "hook'em horns" while the other hands claps against the armrest. This has to happen on 1st downs when we have the ball and you must be at a 0.11 BAC.

It is also strongly encouraged to do it within earshot of Dome security and 4 year old kids. Or McFeely.

#1 They hate their new name (as they should because it's lame)

I'm starting to wonder if your a bigger fan of arguing on the internet than you are of the sports team we apparently both love. Can we just agree that UND sucks, NDSU is great, the forum is better toilet paper than reading material, and shaking keys at a game automatically disqualifies you from any fanbase?

Honestly, what’s to shake on? Does loving the Bison mean that I’m not allowed to call out other Bison fans like you for the stupid shit they spew and don’t retract?

I dislike UND, but if cheering for my favorite college football team means also wishing and cheering for my least favorite college football team to have injuries, then you and I will remain at odds over this issue that YOU originally brought up and were/are so double-down proud of.

Thanks for sharing your perspective.

For the record, I did say that I sometimes cheer for the Packers players to get injuries. I hate that team a lot. I'm not hoping for life-threatening shit. Its just my messed up Viking fandom manifesting in an fucked up way, but whatever... I'm honest about it. I understand if that bothers you.

What I did not say is that in order for you to be a "true fan" of my team, you must stand on all defensive downs, wiggle your fingers, etc, cheer for opposing teams injuries, and agree with me on all points. No one here is saying that. In fact, I said the thing about the Packers and you kept bringing it up, on multiple different threads since then, even after I tried to play the kindness card and bury the hatchet. But again, I understand your position. Its hard to let shit go on the internet, especially with anonymity.

I'll try this one more time: Send me a private message and lets grab a beer sometime. The internet brings out the worst in people, and I'm no exception, but there's really no need to keep doing what you're doing.

...Or, you can reply to this for all to see with the last word. Choice is yours.

I’ll take a hard pass.

But I will compliment you on the wonderful attempt at redirection from a unpopular position, one that obviously even bothers you to some small degree for simply having it. You don’t see that very often.

For my part, my point has been amply made (just in your responses alone) and I’ll promise not to bring it up again, IF you promise never to bring this injury crap up again on BV. The choice is yours.

Free drinks... hey I am mad at both of these guys I just forgot to say it. The one guys says stuff without thinking and the other guy says stuff with over thinking and vice versa. I am so mad I am getting thirsty!

Only while sitting with 1 hand in the air giving the Texas "hook'em horns" while the other hands claps against the armrest. This has to happen on 1st downs when we have the ball and you must be at a 0.11 BAC.

It is also strongly encouraged to do it within earshot of Dome security and 4 year old kids. Or McFeely.Quit spying on me. That what you just said right thar is my patented hootin' an' hollerin' method! Getcher own idears!
