EWU @ UW Discussion & Game Thread (9/3 4pm PST)

[kalm]

There are a few things in life that set me off. Message board hijacks are not one of them.

If it was the first or tenth or 100th time, okay, but it goes on and on and on.

That is 1000% sour grapes.

[Ivytalk]

Back to the thread. Hey, kalm, have you lined up your U-Dub Puget Sound (or is it Lake Washington?) tailgating boat spot yet?

If it's sour grapes that I don't like being bashed over and over again, than so be it.

Lake Washington. And since I'm a flyfisherman and there's some outstanding smallmouth bass fishing there, I'll be saddling up my float tube right next to Billy Gate's yacht.

OFFS, how many Gil Dobie bashing threads have you seen? I'd be miserable too if I let every tampon reference get to me.

[AZGrizFan]

Honestly name one other fan on here other than JBB or Lakes that is bad? Agreed Lakes and JBB are extreme to say the least, but there really is no other Bison poster that gets ridiculous like those two that I have seen anyway. So instead of saying NDSU posters are pariahs, just say JBB and Lakes are pariahs.

NDSU posters and the fanbase in general have gotten such a bad rep from those two. That's just how it is, they aren't even allowed on bville anymore more for that reason. So they come here and put on their little charade for everyone to see. North Dakotans are very a humble and modest bunch. But when it comes to football, NDSU has a very proud fanbase and A LOT of it appears as arrogance. Most of the older generation fans/posters still live in the 80s and don't realize that the program is far different and in a totally different situation.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very proud of our program's past. But a lot of Bison fans need to focus more on the present.

i agree.

You know what I mean, and there is a difference between bashing a stadium as the Fargodome gets it's share, and what I'm talking about. Can't have a serious conversation about Bison football on this site without a barage of bashing from several other fans.

Typically I try to keep it real until JaBBer or lamemoron poke their stupid-ass noses into a thread....because you KNOW it's about to go downhill fast at that point anyways.

That lasts all of 2 posts before that happens...and typically not that as 99% of NDSU threads are starting by them.

If lakes and jabber weren't here NDSU bashing wouldn't happen.


Hell, it isn't even NDSU bashing...it's going after Lakes and jabber

Exactly. Just like I've come to realize that when people bash the Griz, the BSC and Wa/Griz they're really just going after Ursus and Grizzaholic. I take no offense to it any more.

What the fuck did I ever do? I am a SUU fan.

[grizcountry420]

Sounds like there wont be a lot of EWU supporters at the game this weekend. Whats up with that?

Says who? I know a lot of people that are going over for the game, not to mention all the EWU alumni in the area who are also UW fans (hopefully they'll wear red ). I'd expect anywhere from 5-10k EWU fans there.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Leaving here in about an hour, catching a ride with PolsonGriz and GrizChick over to Seattle. I hope Seattle's ready for me.

I know its Friday but as of Wednesday EW had only sold 550 tickets to the game.

[EWURanger]

Well, I know a shitload of people going to the game. And I doubt most people bought tickets through EWU, especially alums and whatnot living on the west side.

This last bashing episode was not aimed at JBB or Lakes. I kept hearing it was only towards them, this time it wasn't.

[grizfan47]

Good luck Eagles. I hope you pull off the upset. The Cats looked respectable last night, now lets hope the rest of the BSC can do their part. Go Griz!!!!!!!!

I probably just grouped you in with them. They don't exactly do great things for perception of NDSU fans. But you probably already knew that.

But back on topic.....lots of press on this game, both in the Seattle Times and Spokesman-Review.

Looks like Polk will play (kind of expected he would anyway), but true Freshman Sankey won't RS.

[AZGrizFan]

Exactly...same thing in the UM/UT game. Montana sold out it's contingent of tickets to Tennessee, but many, many people bought through stubhub, craigslist, or though UT directly as well...

Yep. Renard Williams' dad went through UW because if you purchase in groups of 20 it brings the price down to $45 instead of $65, so I got my tickets through him. There will be a fair amount of red in Husky Stadium on Saturday. There are a LOT of EWU Alum on the Westside, and a LOT of EWU Alum who are also Husky fans.

What are you specifically butt-hurt about? Could you link us to whatever hurt your feelings?

Those remarks are as rediculous as they come. How self-important of the young man. Could that poster be any more assuming, condescending or patronizing?

What you have on this board is a handful of arrogant posters that have a very narrow view of the world, very little humor quotent and are full of themselves. I find a lot of football talk boring and repetitive. Some others see it as a style not to be deviated from. If you post like them you end up with the same posts, time after time, game after game with only some of the nouns changing.

Im not banned from BV or any other board. If im not on a board I choose not to be there. BV is stifling, too many folks like you. Besides, hijacking is something I know about. All of threads I start are hijacked almost immediately by the smaller minds.

I know a lot of people going. Not just from the East side, but a lot from the Seattle. I don't know numbers but there will be a lot of red there. I saw that the EWU tailgating has sold out three times over (they had to increase the size of it twice)......that's a good sign.

[eaglesfootball]

I'll be there! should be plenty of red there.
