Some Championship game observations

[gizmo]

Tailgate: As usual, the tailgate was almost all NDSU. Congrats to us! Is the level of fan support actually that low at the schools we've played in the NC games?

One disturbing thing was the amount of garbage strewn about our tailgate area after the game. Hint: Those big dumpsters placed throughout the tailgate area are there for a reason.

I heard a lot of good things about the Bison Nation Celebration. I wish I would have attended it this year.

If you're so drunk by noon that you can't walk into the stadium perhaps you shouldn't have bothered going to Frisco.

When I was yelling I was not cold. A lot of the folks around me were quiet and freezing.

The Wave is cool and shouting out "Bison" at the end of the national anthem is not.

Fireball IS laced with antifreeze!

The PA announcer at Toyota Stadium is kind of lame.

Was the ISU band miked? From where I sat they were much louder than the Gold Star band.

Does this imply that you could actually understand him? My buddy from NM who came to his first NC game said it sounded like the sound system was installed by Charlie Brown. Wa wa wa wa

If the announcer can be heard at all, we are not doing it right!

Watching on TV I wondered if the ISU band was bogarting all the quiet times. I didn't recall hearing the Gold Star (other than after bison scores) until I heard the beer song!

Something that occurred to me while watching the game....EVERYONE on their team had a LOT of stickers on their helmets.

If everyone has a ton of stickers on their helmets, what are they giving them out for? Showing up at practice? What makes it special to get a sticker?

I wonder what Ohio state gives them out for. 12 Guage had more than half of his helmet covered, and it was his third start.

Sticker inflation is undermining the value of stickers.

Same thing happened to my baseball card collection.

We yell Bison at the end of the national anthem, get the f* over it.

Exactly. They say "Chiefs" at Arrowhead. Lots of people do it. It's kind of the point of freedom, isn't it?

As for helmet stickers, I think they're stupid. I knew that Ohio State gives them for team and position accomplishments so they all have similar numbers of stickers on their helmets.

Still stupid.

I saw a few Hello Kitty stickers and a few Apple stickers. It appears they finally found a use for all those Apple stickers that come with the phones.
