I was at the first Georgia Southern semifinal. That hooked me.

[BisonJump]

Getting hammered too many times with my track teammate Kevin Donnalley who went on to play for the Patriots and coach the Bison under Hager.

Playing BB games of horse using only dunks with track teammates Stacy Robinson (2nd round draft choice by the Giants) and Jeff Conley (who was also a wide receiver) as a warm up to indoor track practice.

Being a track teammate with Robert Blakely who was also a wide receiver and 7th round draft choice by St. Louis.

Renting a room from former track teammate Shane Hoddenfield my first year of coaching women’s track and field while he was an assistant football coach under Rocky. The next year a young grad assistant named Gus Bradley rented the same room.

Rocky saying “How’s it going Schweigs” in the hallway of the BSA.

Hearing the glass break from the schnapps bottle thrown at Ed Schultz in the press booth behind me as I drank from my own bottle.

Etc.

Ha ha...I was probably there for those games as well. I was a tutor for Stacy. He was an interesting dude...RIP

I'd say I got indoctrinated by older siblings, but I don't remember the run in the 80s, vaguely remember '91. Distinctively remember Beachy blowing out his knee (via radio) I didn't go to an actual game until fall '98. Sort of lost sight like many did for several years. Went to maybe a game a year starting with Valparaiso game until after I got married in 05, wife (Canadian no less!) really liked it and went to a couple a year, really got hooked in 07ish, got season tickets the next year and usually make it to the majority of games since. SHSU game may have been the linch pin, but Minnesota 07 really drove home to get (back??) on the bandwagon. Haven't got off since. Sat thru most of the disaster of '09 including Wyoming.

Sent by my phone on a bullet train from Hillsboro.

The first night game at the fargodome. Pitt state. I was aware of the Bison before this, this just hooked me. I swear I got a green horn at that game. Don't have it anymore and haven't seen them since. Think the mvfc bans noise makers. Pretty sure I snagged a Garth Brooks in pieces cassette tape that weekend as well. The wife got hooked at the first meeting of NDSU vs Sam Houston. We stayed until the finish.

Probably not until we shocked Montana back in early 2000s.

Sometime in the mid-70’s got started, BisonSioux game around 1980.

Became a fan as a kid. The Montana game got me re engaged. The 2006 Gophers game is what got me pumped up.
