Favorite Lines from Jax State Fans at National Championship Game

[SomeJsuFan]

I was most impressed with your fan culture, and how loudly you guys were in the game. How did your fanbase go about establishing things like your first down chants? Is there some sort of mutually agreed upon script that is followed? Did your cheerleaders start this thing up, or is it something begun by your stadium announcer? Or is it something native-born, spontaneously springing forth from the breast of all true Bison fans? Not trying to rip off your ideas, honest*.

And Tammy from Clanton, Alabama.

Made my day!!!

I heard this... "But they are not even that fast!"

[Bison Loaf]

They were beaten in both halves, just in case they though that their second half performance was superior to ours.

Yes, but recognize that WE got beat in pom-pomming. And that is completely unacceptable!

Good question, I'm not sure how that originated. I'm assuming it didn't start until the dome era but could be wrong

And Tammy from Clanton, Alabama.

I wish he would said...."5 of their last 8 Tammy", one more time.

As far as I remember, it was started by the students. Then the PA announcer got in on the fun and after a first down says "That's another Bison...." followed by the crowd replying "First Down.....Ahhhhh....MOVE THOSE CHANS." I could be wrong but that's how I remember it. It has really done a good job of being just a student thing to a whole crowd thing.

Well let me man up and say that was just about the most thorough "whupping" I've ever seen our guys go through. Still stunned! Ya'll have a great thing going there in Fargo.

And also: wow, I have never been so dang cold in my life; not sure how you guys deal with that (or worse) for weeks at a time. :-)

Cold? I just had short sleeve t-shirt on for nearly the entire game. Put my windbreaker jacket on just before I rushed the field.

Yep...started with the student section and slowly grew to other sections. Helped having students graduate and occupy other sections.

They say our guy is some sort of radio announcer, but I think his day job must be at the morgue adjacent to the campus.
