No, they used them. The streamers, after the game, were hanging from the trees in their tail gate lot and laying bleeding in the water and snow on the parking lot pavement.
One guy sitting in front of us (Section 102) did "throw" a mini weak-wristed streamer that went about 4-5 rows when JMU scored that first touchdown. It wasn't a brave In Your Face effort, but more like Excuse me, but I Promised Someone I Would, So I Did" type throw. It was obvious he was concerned the Streamer Police would catch him, eject him from the stadium where he would miss the last second interception ending the JMU dynasty breakthrough to 2020.
We did meet a lot of very nice and friendly JMU fans. It took the fans (Just run the Damn ball!) about an hour to get over the loss and begin to enjoy tailgating and chatting (hugging and embracing) with Bizon fans. They see it as a true rivalry, and are anxious for a return engagement. Many of them want a home & home pre-season schedule scenario as they described their regular season conference rivals as undependable opponents --- were we have have dependable hard games during the year within the MV conference. (Of course they could schedule MV teams if they felt so inclined.)
Our Thursday flight to Dallas from Richmond was 78 JMU fans, and 2 NDSU. The return flight today (Monday) was 2 NDSU fans and zero JMU.
