I'll admit that while we at goEMAW (a rebel BBS), are pretty rough on visitors and generally troll the shit out of em, I've been a bit taken aback by how many folks here auto-assume that every visitor has come to "troll' your board. While I am NO fan of the group that posts at scout.com, that's generally what y'all have had to deal with, so I get it. Keep in mind, we have THREE highly trafficked bbs's... This place seems (from my experience) to be home to all your fans including the "shirt-tucks" and the "trolls". (minus lakes & JBB of course)
I live in Frisco, so I've been to the past two FCS champ games and have met & befriended a number of good folks from N. Dakota. Many times over the summer, I was both disgusted and disappointed in the vitirol in some of the posts directed towards a football program I was a part of and towards a school that I have a degree from... I understand a little "pre-game smack talk" and poking fun at stereotypes, but at times it got downright personal, which is NOT what I experienced with the fans/alums I've met in person. Not trying to make excuses, but some of my anger & disgust came out in some of my postings on our home board.
I bought tickets for, and am hosting, four Bison fans that took us in last January at FC Dallas Stadium and gave my step-son one of those big, fuzzy Bison hats with the horns. So, I've been excited about this game for 8 months. I hope that you will all realize that just because we see the game through our purple lenses and may have a slightly different view of the relative strengths of upper level BCS football when compared to FCS and the ku/minny/CSU's of the world, it doesn't mean that we don't respect your team, program and fans.
Many of just love the game and want to talk about it with like minded people leading up to the contest.
ps- generally speaking, all we got at from Bisonville at gE was lakes, MNLonghorn10 (posing as NDSU Lollypopkid) and Izzy Flexion (posing as Norma Stitz). Perhaps we wouldn't look so bad if you didn't send your shittiest posters? Hahahahaha
