NDSU fans were mentioned in the series of articles listing the top 20 universities fan support.
After coming up with this list, it has to be said that there are fans of great schools that just couldn't quite make it into the upper echelon. There were also some real heartbreakers who seemed to belong but just seemed to have that something just missing. To Furman, Tennessee St., North Dakota St., Northwestern St., Yale, Southern Illinois, William & Mary, Eastern Washington, Western Illinois, and NC A&T fans, I can only say… better luck next time. Or get a better mascot. Or something
The link: Montana had the number one fans.
