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

    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.

    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.

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

    Somewhere it the early to mid-80s. As a young kid I liked football and would watch if it was one. The Bison-Sioux game would be one of the only televised games and I would watch. It seemed everybody in town/school watched that game. I had to pick a team. I picked the Bison and watched that game every year. By the mid-80s I was listening to the rest of the games on the radio and watched if another game got on tv (playoffs sometimes). By '90 it was all I could think about.
