    I like to surround myself with people who share in my inappropriate comments, sarcasm, and random shenanigans

    At least Iowa State has helped me get over my dislike of the color cardinal red!

    I was at Wrigley Field in 1984 for the playoffs . . . and still have my "Next Year is Here" t-shirt . . . before we blew it against the Padres.

    This here!!

    It will be a good game. Funny thing is that if NDSU was at 85 scholliles, this game would be a massacre.

    Quite a few of us here are Vikes fans and have endured as much soul torture as Cub fans. I expect nothing but letdowns anymore yet still like them somehow. Maybe we are sick in the head

    Yeah...but thats the thing. As a vikings fan I expect to be let down. Being a Bison fan is way different. Its a different attitude. A different mentality. Im guessing its not just with us fans, but with the players and program too.
    I don't care how the vote ended up. They still suck and always will.

    Hope our new O-Line dont commit too many foul starts.

    True story.

    Two weeks ago I had to fly to northern Wisconsin on business. I was picked up at the airport by my client who was wearing a yellow Green Bay Packer cap and a green GBP t-shirt. It was only 46 F so I had a Bison pull over on in green and yellow.

    My colleague noticed my pull over and commented that the colors reminded him of the the GBP colors. We then proceeded to talk about ESPN College GameDay coming to Fargo and Desmond Howard's comments about the "buzz", which he had seen and enjoyed. He then asked me this:

    "Do you know why North Dakota does not have a pro football team?"

    I said no.

    "Because if they did Minnesota would want one".

    I had a tremendous belly laugh.
