So I'm going to just quit posting in post game thoughts threads or GDT's and let everyone that enjoys constantly complaining to just go right ahead and do it, because I'm over it. I'm going to take my ball and go home and start my own thread about things that I'm thankful for within this program. Things that I see we're doing right. Stories of my road trips with my Dad, friends and other Bison fans. So if you're like me and are having a blast this season following this team then tell us about it. Share your favorite thing you experienced when you were in Macomb, Cedar Falls, Iowa City, Springfield, or even at home. Tell us if you got to give the guys a high five after the UNI or Iowa win. Tell us your favorite play, something you noticed about a player being selfless, or even give credit to an opposing player that excelled. I'm having fun, and I'm not going to let a bunch of negative nancies on a message board affect that. I'm not naming names, so don't come in here and start telling me how I'm wrong with my attitude, it's my thread. If you don't have something nice to say, then go away and don't say anything at all.
I'll start with this last weekend. Ended up with an extra pair of tickets for the game and was having a difficult time getting rid of them for some reason. On our way to the game, we stopped in Fredricksburg, IA and had lunch with my cousin and her family. Hadn't seen them for about 6 years so it was an awesome opportunity to get together and catch up. While we were there I received a PM from someone on this site and he said that he would take the tickets for a couple of his friends that were going to fly down last minute for the game. It just so happened to be a married couple and it was the wife's birthday, what a great present! I got a chance to meet Bison Pyro before the game and he gave me some amazing steak, thanks again for that! Got the tickets to the couple and they sat with us during the game. We had a really good time and look forward to running into them again in the future. Also out in the tailgate lot, got a chance to talk with BlueBisonRock for a while. What a nice man he is. Chatted with UTH, StL, and Tatanka as well. Really enjoy talking Bison football with these folks. Also had the chance to meet up with Jeff Illies family before the game, and Cole Davis dad and the Tuska brothers dad as well. To me, I love getting that opportunity to ask them about their son, nephew, etc and the experience they are having playing for the Bison. There's been plenty said already about the game, and it got to be a lot more stressful towards the end than it looked like it should be early. But we got out of there with a W, and that made the trip with my dad even more worth it.
Go Bison!!
