Minnesota Gophers vs. NDSU Bison

[joshfuller17]

and its funny that ndsu fans seem to think cause they beat a terrible gophers team who the bison were the favorites to win seem to think it was an upset...as well as how they think it would happen again right now! heard some rumors at work about a possible 2011 rematch-after the rubber game the gophers will not play them again-because there isnt big time football talent all over nd and we dont recruit there-und and ndsu have nd locked and no one else cares so good luck bison and sioux

[AAAnderson08]

i was at this game and i think its funny how all the minnesota fans have to keep living in the past to beat the bison GO BISON!!!

[Juicedup58]

hahaha i think its funny how the state of minnesota actually cheered for a team that was not in-controll of a game against a sub-par 1aa team

[pinkdancer4]

psh NDSU won this past year!

go BISON!

[holmboy3000]

why's he so excited... NDSU dominated the game stats in every aspect, and they should have won that game

[Tigersfan829]

wow impressive u beat north dakota!!!

[Weazle80]

this was in 2006, the next year NDSU kicked the shit out of Minnesota

[wolfcb32003]

But once again, keep your maroon and gold glasses on and continue to be wrong in the facts. It only ends up confirming what pretty much every other fan in the WCHA knows. Most Minnesota fans don't know jack about hockey nor do they pay close enough attention to know what the hell is going on.

[vikingsguy7]

probably the stupdiest comment i've ever heard...gopher fans are very knowledgable...i don't know why you keep running your mouth.

[wolfcb32003]

I keep talking because you can't seem to understand that Minnesota is not the end all be all in sports, not in hockey, not in football, not in anything. Yet the arrogance you display is so much like other Gopher fams I know that I'm not sure why I'm continuing to bother.

[vikingsguy7]

where are yuo from exactly? who do you follow? Last time I checked the Minnesota Wild and Gophers are both solid hockey teams.

[wolfcb32003]

Besides, guys who spend one year and leave, i.e. Kessel and Johnson, to me aren't "Gophers". You gotta at least see your Sophomore year. Those two would have made the NHL no matter where they played, and Minnesota was just a stop on the way. Besides its not like they helped the team all that much when they were wearing the "M"

[vikingsguy7]

I agree with you, the point is every college kid wants to be in the nhl. When that call comes nobody in their right mind will turn money. That's just the way it is.

[bisonnationbaby]

Okay Mr. Minnesota.... Listen here

1. GOPHERS SUCK...they always have and they can't hold a candle to ND Sports...we beat you in football with the bison and UND always demolishes you little prairie animals... and yeah you repeated as national champs but if you wanna go in history here it is:

UND 11 WCHA CHAMPIONSHIPS and 7 NATIONAL TITLES

MINN= 5 NATL titles and no where near the same amount of WCHA titles....so to sum it up NORTH DAKOTA is just pretty much better mr minnesota fan

[vikingsguy7]

yea gopher football sucks but they would win 9 out of 10 times even though they are pathedic.....and gopher hockey is better then sioux hokcey face it....just cuz u hicks in nd have nothing else to do don't mean ur teams are the best....quit talking shit gophers have won two national titles since und won one in 2000....gophers have been better in the last decade period.

[vikingsguy7]

Minnesota leads 132-116-11 according to Minnesota, 124-115-11 according to North Dakota, any way you shake it gophers lead all time so eat shit

[wolfcb32003]

And? According to most Gopher fans I know, National Titles are all that matters so 7>5

[vikingsguy7]

u wanna play the national title game? 2>0 since und's last title

[wolfcb32003]

You wanna feel better because MN has more recent titles that's fine by me, I reall don't care. As I said, I'm not a Sioux fan and I didn't go to school in North Dakota. I just can't stand Gopher fans like you who think the world revolves around the "M"

Not everyone in Minnesota loves the Gophers, in fact, most outside the Twin Cities, especially in St. Cloud, Mankato, and Duluth grow up hating them.

I also wonder how you can call NDSU's win an "upset" given that NDSU was favored to win.

[vikingsguy7]

hey bud u seem to really care about bickering with me for not really caring about und sports. Also, every team has fans that are passionate about their team, they are called diehards. They are everywhere, not just mn so u can get off of that bogus theory. And guess what, ndsu wasn't favored over the gophers because there is no line on games involving I-A versus I-AA teams so nice try with that lie.

[wolfcb32003]

The newscasts I watched that night said the Bison were favored by 7.

I have no problem with passion, I have no problem with diehards. I have a problem with guys who when their team loses still has to say "well we're still better and your hockey team sucks, your state sucks, nothing good comes from there"

Take your loss like a man and lose with some class.

That's all you've done and it makes you look like a five year old.

[vikingsguy7]

Well considering I never went to the U of M (and apparently you didn't go to und either) I don't get to bent out of shape when the gophers lose. In fact, I was actually hoping ndsu would pull it off and beat the gophers because that program is a joke. Gopher hokcey, however, is far superior then und. Aside from the small number of promising sioux prospects they have right now, gophers have had the upper hand the last 10 years and it's not close.

[wolfcb32003]

Keep thinking that way. You're wrong but keep thinking it.

Lets see, last 10 years would be from 97-98 till now

UMN: 2 national titles, 2 regular season titles, 3 WCHA playoff titles.

UND: 1 National title, 4 regular season titles and 2 WCHA playoff titles.

Looks pretty close.

But like I said, live in your dream world. I'm done arguing with a fanboy who doesn't actually look at facts.

[wolfcb32003]

and before you ask, since 98-99, UND has a 17-15-3 edge head to head.

[vikingsguy7]

oh look at that, the hypocrite speaks...a second ago all that mattered was national titles...interesting how u flip flopped...I was talking about NHL prospects not team play. Of course the two teams have been good as of late...but u can't tell me that und can even compare to the likes of nhl players flourishing out of the u of m...

[wolfcb32003]

Good lord do you need to learn how to read. I never said National titles were all that mattered, I said according to Gopher fans I know, National titles are all that matters.

Hell if you think success is measured by NHL prospects, why even bother playing the games. Lets just take the team that has the most prospects and declare them the champions then.

Holy Cross had none, they beat you. SCSU always has less, they've been beating MN as of late.

[vikingsguy7]

u think one game makes holy cross better? what r u smoking? and no st cloud has not beaten mn as of late. get ur facts straight.

[wolfcb32003]

SCSU hasn't beaten Minnesota of late?

Dude they went 2-0-2 against the Gophers last year and are 4-1-2 against Minnesota since Motzko became coach. Sure looks like they are beating Minnesota.

[vikingsguy7]

again...you seem to not like nd so much for looking at their vids. I can't believe i'm really spelling this out for a 27 year old, but ndsu is a D-2 school. Minnesota is a D-1 school. Thus, an upset. The NCAA doesn't have a line for these types of games so whatever you heard is not accurate by ncaa standards.

[wolfcb32003]

NDSU is not a D-2 school and hasn't been for about 5 years now. They are D-1 in all sports except football where they are D-1AA

[vikingsguy7]

that's what i meant...are you kidding? d-2, 1AA, championship division..whatever bud.

[vikingsguy7]

can't hold a candle to und? u must be joking. Gopher hockey has been the team to be in the last 5 years. when was the last time und won it? 2000? gimme a break. (oh btw nice win over sdsu last weekend) bison fans didn't even exist before bohl got there)..good luck competeing next year when he leaves for nebraska. owned.

[wolfcb32003]

I doubt he goes back ot Nebraska since they fired him as d-coordinator before he took the Bison job. And wow, NDSU lost a game, big freaking deal. The Gophers went 1-10. Man that one loss just hurts so damn much.

Oh and how's that Gopher hockey team doing? Nice butt kicking by Michigan last night.

Minnesota won't be fighting for the McNaughton this year, they'll be fighting for home ice the way they are playing of late.

[vikingsguy7]

gophers always start slow, u should know that since ur such a wcha expert. und isn't doing good either...it's a LONG season me boy.

[wolfcb32003]

They always start slow?

Um, they went 22 games without a loss after an opening loss last year, year before they were 7-3-3 after November, year before that they were 9-3 after November, year before that did go 6-7-1. So it's been a few years since they started this slow.

And it may not get much better, 2 things this team lacks (and again, ask your own fan base they will tell you the same thing) a consistent finisher and heart. Gee, lack of heart, where have I heard that one before?

[vikingsguy7]

by starting slow they always finsih strong..no heart? look up the gophers on youtube and watch their vids. ur an idiot and I don't know why you are so obsessed.

[wolfcb32003]

Vids on youtube do not indicate the team has heart, watch them play and talk to fans who actually know what the hell they are talking about and you'll realize I'm right.

Why do I keep trying? I'm not sure, I just hate fans like you that don't know their asshole from their elbow whwn it comes to hockey yet they act like they know everything because they are Minnesota fans.

[Usher4Life]

that aint no excuse bison are juz better.. we won and thats it man. NDSU is better then gophers at football

[vikingsguy7]

maybe this year but you cant compare the two until the bison actually get ontothe dance floor. (i.e. division 1)

[stromboldt]

Ahhhh, revenge is so sweet! Congrats to the NDSU Bison on their win today. I'm sure these fans were not so happy today.... ;)

[GopherFan1]

actually that aint an excuse cause gopher hockey is amazing and totally kicks north dakota and ndsu's ass in hockey because we r the best at hockey even in womens because we are the state of hockey and we suck because we actually play teams that r kind of good like michigan and ohio state and other big ten teams while u play teams like sdsu so ya u can suck my balls

[fmndmn]

ndsu doesnt have a hockey team

[Fulton87]

You call northwestern good? Go cry a river you guys suck and you know it.

[tylerdurden246]

gopherfan1 say whatever u want the Bison still beat the gophers regardless who the gophers play.

[wolfcb32003]

Yeah, lets see, you guys lost to Bowling Green at home, NDSU has now gone to Central Michigan and won by 30, to Ball State and won last year and beaten you guys after losing by a point the week before.

NDSU is a 1-AA team. MN should beat them.

Hell, Michigan lost to a 1-AA school for Christs sake. It's all just excuses.

As for that hockey team, you just got swept by CC, meanwhile UND hasn't given up a goal in 3 games.

[vikingsguy7]

u think ndsu has a chance against michigan? rofl

[wolfcb32003]

Did I say that? No. I said Minnesota has lost to a 1-AA team and so has Michigan.

You live in a world with Maroon and Gold blinders and I feel sorry for you.

[vikingsguy7]

maroon and gold blinders? more like you are the one with the green and black native american glasses....upsets happen all the time doesn't mean ndsu is better then minnesota or visa versa

[wolfcb32003]

Funny thing is, I'm not a Sioux fan, nor a UND grad nor an NDSU grad. And this year, NDSU is better than MN, not just because they won head to head either.

[GopherFan1]

u guys dont realize that we dont have many fans because well how many teams do u got in fargo...1 how many teams do we got in the twin cities area...well, theres the wild the wolves the twins the swarm the thunder and the lynx but there is also the gophers now the twin cities is a pro sports town and nobody cares about the gophers thats why u get 30000 fans there every year dumbasses cant u guys figure that out when u sittin on that stack of hay

[wolfcb32003]

Nice excuse, that's a bunch of bullshit. Gopher hockey games sell out damn near every night, even on nights when the Wild are at the X.

Gopher football doesn't have fans because they suck.

Nice win Bison!

[stromboldt]

Oh it's going to be a totally different story in the Metrodome this year... look at these poor Minnesota fans... cheering for their FBS team beating a FCS by 1 point in their own house... sad really... Go Bison!

[Modo3000]

We are bringing it this year and we wont be shot down, I suspect we will be 20 to Zip by second half!!

[wolfcb32003]

I still say had the Bison been eligible, they would have won the 1-AA title last year.

[Hadou1530]

ooo NO DOUBT !!

[AAAnderson09]

o yeah, plus its funny cause that was one of the biggest crowds of the year there. for a D1-AA vs D1-A game. haha

[AAAnderson09]

fuck, i was at that game. i drove from fargo to watch. i sat at the other end of the of the stadium surrounded by gopher season ticket holders. i was crushed how it ended, but it was a great game all the way through, leading at the end of 3 of 4 quarters then that happened. o well. we will win it next year,

[Juicedup58]

wow i hate minnesota sports

[airwaveslave]

you can't compare hockey to football. The sioux and the gophs both have established powerhouses among the hockey world. Everyone know gopher football blows and NDSU should be ashamed that they did lose.

[brendin24]

O Yea they should be ashamed for your info The Bison are Div. 1 AA And almost beating the Gophers that game was huge. And i might mention that we did beat the Ball State Cardinals at Ball State

[airwaveslave]

i know exactly who the Bison are and I know that they are probably the best team in 1AA. its a shame they aren't playoff eligible yet (transition period) because i'm almost positive they would win it all. my previous comment was a knock on minnesota football, not bison football

[brendin24]

im sorry go bison

[Modo3000]

Dont be Sorry GO BISION

[xxlljjee]

To all you Gopher fans I have the Fargo Forum Stats from that game here's a little taste of who so called win! Rushing yds: ND-143 to a dismal 99-min/ total passing yds: ND-237 to min pathetic-150. I rest my case. Oh Nice game vs The Sioux at Mariucci, was it a sweep? :)

[mrsdelarge]

I came from Fargo to see that game, and it was the most exciting game I have ever been to!

[embalm]

shows how shitty the gophers really are in every sport, they could hardly take down a D2 team.. ROFL, losers..

[amross12]

Actually, they're DI AA. Close though

[vikingsguy7]

every sport? ur a fucking idiot

[vikingsguy7]

shitty at every sport? hockey too? idiot

[MJA4444]

Speaks volumes about the U of M football team if we can only beat NDSU by 1 point.

[donwon1234]

Shawn Bibeau is still pimp man.

[majic785]

We beat them in statistics in every area of the game....except points, which I guess determines the winner of the game....damnit

[mattrmpt]

yeah...NDSU should have had that one...which is sad because MN should be good.

[Wolfenheim]

Oh god that was the worst game ever for bison fans D:

At least the end was. :P
